*This week has been very much about 'origin'. In History & Theory we began to disect the nautilus shell and the aedicule, or the "power of 3." In doing so, I realized how much importance they play in the world of design, as a foundation for ideas. The fairytales and beginnings of our opus allowed us to dig deep within ourselves and uncover Real meaning behind the things we look over each and everyday.*

[Readings]
- The Nautilus Shell image can be found: (Roth, 73-74)
- The image above, "Laugier- the primitive hut" comes from our discussion about the beginnings of the post & lintel, the aedicule, and the "power of 3". This can be found in our "Understanding Architecture" book: (Roth, 29-30)
- The basis for architecture, which helps understand design as a whole (commodity, firmness, delight) helped me put together all the different of what we're learning (Roth, 3)
