Understanding Design through Ikebana Floral Arrangements

Abstract

What is design? Is “good design” something that follows the “Principles of Design” as formulated by the great scholarly designer's overages and millenniums? Is it that which abides by the “Golden Ratio” that the Greeks perfected? Or is it that which follows the complex science of “Vastu Shastra” formulated and put to practice by the learned ancient Indians?

This is the very question that intrigued almost each and every designer who is consumed by the thoughts of creating something magnificent and everlasting.
