There are two primary approaches to creating something: bottom-up design and top-down design . Top-down design is often seen in architecture. People do not build bricks randomly; instead, they follow the design drawings created by the architect. This method executes a plan that has already been established. When asked why something is built in a certain way, the answer is usually that the blueprint dictates its design. Conversely, bottom-up design does not start with a fixed goal, but rather involves setting and implementing small, actionable rules. For example, termite nests follow this approach. Small termites have a simple rule: to pile up soil. They do this without knowing the reason, but over time, the finished structure is remarkable and sophisticated. The appearance of the Sagrada Familia church , designed by Antoni Gaudà and still under construction, closely resembles a termite nest, differing only in size. Setting goals and planning is one way to create, but actual achievem...
Initially, humans could not draw as they perceived. It was only after the discovery of perspective that they could accurately draw what they saw. Perspective was first applied to performance stages in Greece during the 5th century BC, and it was not until the 15th century that the Italian architect Brunelleschi succeeded in expressing a three-dimensional perspective on a two-dimensional plane. In the long history of humanity, the period of applying perspective is quite brief. Perspective painting represents a virtual depiction of reality . In other words, the first instance of visualizing something virtual is perspective. People speak as if the metaverse is a significant industry today, but the virtual realization through perspective began long before the digital era. Currently, it’s only visually represented digitally. Understanding the essence of this can help you mitigate risk, even as times and circumstances evolve. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
