Breaking the Rules
In the world of Design, there are many ways people break the rules. Whether it is by combining things that people never think should be combined, or designing items that bring people out of their comfort zone. I think that these designs can be good and can be not good, as there will be people who will not like the designs and people who are going to love these designs. Below are a few examples of the designs that breaks the rules:
Who would've expected shoes, especially heels or wedges can be made with its back not even with its heel? Many may think that these shoes can make people fall easily, but with my observation, these shoes has its front on the ground, so ladies can hold themselves well on the ground without falling. Also, the heels of the shoes are wedged and this keeps more balance on women without letting them fall.
These bookshelves, even though are slanted to one side, can still hold books as they have a stopper on every step of it, thus the books do not fall. Also, even though taking the books that are lower may be difficult as they would be pressed down by other heavy books, these bookshelves can help to flatten out book covers or page that are folded by accident as they will be pressed down with the other books so we do not have to press them down on the table with a stone or something heavy.
This design of a bed in a wardrobe may look weird, it is designed mainly for people who live in studio houses or small apartments. These apartments have limited space, thus having a bed may cause the house to be very appear even smaller, therefore the invention of this bed in a wardrobe not only saves space, these singles who live alone can have more space to do things and they can still have friends come over without having to squeeze together.
This house is built on top of a big stone, which people will think that it will fall whenever the wind blows. However, notice that the bottom of the house is somehow 'inside' the stone, this means that the house is grounded to the stone well and will not fall easily unless the stone breaks, so people can still live in it for a while.
This bench here only has 2 seats even though the backrest is still long. This a very good example of breaking the rules as benches are always long and at least 3 people can sit on a long bench. However, this long bench here is only made for 2 people to sit. Though people may find it weird as only 2 people can sit on a long bench, I feel that this invention is good also as nowadays people always like to put their belongings beside them when they sit on long benches, which makes them look selfish. With this bench, people would have no choice but to either put their belongings on the floor or on their lap, thus letting people know that they should share seats with others and not give their belongings seats.
Take A Journey
I always take the bus to school and will be playing with my phone and listening to music throughout the whole journey most of the times. However, this week I decided to try to not listen to any music and not touch my phone on my way to school, and I realised that there were many things that I had missed on this journey I take to and fro almost everyday. First, I realised again after a long time that the greenery in Singapore is really pretty. Secondly, I realised that there are many new nice buildings that were built along the way as compared to the last time I noticed them, which actually surprised me. Lastly, I made myself walk to the bus stop 3 stops after where i usually board and realised that the air in the morning is very fresh and made myself feel awake and fresh instantly. I would recommend that people should do this often so that they will appreciate our society and the environment more.
