In the words of Justin Mcnair " the reflections unit explores the design history between the Renaissance and the style we coin Modernism beginning in the early 20th century." With emphasis on scale and material he manages to tie these elements in with the design language of the unit showing how the styles emerge and fade just as trends do.
Abigail solidifies this idea of modern trends by mentioning that in design we become "aware of the cycle of revolutions and revivals." This unit teaches us that new designs are simply revivals or ideas which have been inspired by our design foundations which we are constantly looking back to.
Lastly Kara Kooy does an excellent job at helping us realize that even though the 19th and 20th centuries discussed in this unit were inventive, busy and constantly moving us forward. She quotes that "The extensive changes experienced in the 18th and 19th centuries were necessary elements in the further development of "modernism" in the 20th century. Ultimately forcing us to look to the past which prepares us for the future in which we find our selves designing for in the future.
