I believe that in our modern world of design art is more important than the science part of things. Even though both need each other to create a good design the art of the design will need to be looked at more than the science part. If the design looks ugly and the art hasn’t been thought out well it won’t appeal to other people.

I disagree with Hannes Meyers idea that design is a product of function x economy. I believe that design is more important than the function to some extent. In today’s modern world we are able create extraordinary things that rely on the design to make it what it is. Design creates the novelty of the object. If you brought a car that was reliable and did the job you wanted the design of it wasn’t attractive and made you look like a person you don’t want to be then the car would not be very noticeable or have any novelty to it. However if you were to have another car that had the same function and as reliable as the other car and did the job you wanted but had been designed to look very attractive and had years and years of work put into it to look good then design would play a major role in choosing which car you would want to drive. When designing the car I believe that the visual aspects of the car would appeal more to the consumers compared to the function of the car.
