Modernity has changed the process of design, directing fabrication towards a linear process where the material is reliant on a predetermined cause and effect (mold) removing creativity from the process. The electronic space allows more creativity by allowing a non linear process allowing for a state of open creativity making designs more abstract, experimental and dynamic but however abstract the idea is, it still must depend on a linear correspondence between concept, form and representation.
With the advancements of technology, design processes have become more direct, the aesthetics of the past that has once influenced design has been looked past upon. Instead of looking at the past as old, looking at it in a different way like how we look towards the future, we can construe the past as a picture composed of hundreds of tiny details and use these details to use something new. Take a path from past to future, there is no one set path and as we travel along this path we are bound to discover something new. Picturesque remains free and unattached disconnecting from specific objects/paths in order to return to ones self or move towards another object. So as we proceed down a path, every once in a while we must look towards the past and contemplate the riches and theories of what became of the century of progress.
