Material Thoughts

We see materials playing a role in today's and yesterday's societies. We saw that the hut derived from fires. The people of that time wanted to bring the warmth of fire with them, so they created this warm room that they called a hut. These huts made the people of that time competitive and innovative. This is how we start to further in "technology" and efficiency. These increases in technology succeeded through the stone age and so on. Things of nature are turned into everyday materials. We see the idea of stone and brick still heavily used in society today. The idea that material  can express emotion but rhythm and texture powerful. The hieroglyphs show us stories with texture and detail; it can bring emotions out of us. In the picture below (The Lever House) we see both structures of the whole standing up on stilts or columns. The material of concrete (columns) represent a subtle feeling of power because its a little above everyone else; that is how I see it.
