The World of Charles and Ray Eames

 I visited the Charles and Ray Eames exhibition in Barbican centre.This great couple designer is very good at designing chairs ( relate to architectures as well) in a modernism and post-modernism style .In that exhibition,  I viewed different design of chairs, scanned their research references and process of their design, had a look of the process of how they producing their chairs. ( Charles use glass fiber reinforced plastics for produce the shape of chairs, then use colorful paints which may made my plaster or plastic for polishing the surface of glass fiber reinforced plastics , and set the holder of chairs ) .This couple is also very good at different area of designs and they tried a lot method and medium for their designs. At the Fair (1965) This is a theatre. It is a digital theatre  with different shapes of rectangular as the screens,  when shows going on, this pieces of rectangular presents different images or videos in a juxtaposition  way. Maybe it is not a creative method to do theatre anymore, but for their time, this is quiet avant-garde.I love their videos as well. They are very good at using statical images  which may stay on screen for 2.5seconds and shift to another one. This images are different at all, but , they are also relate to each other very well.
