Reflection Summary  Before studying this course, I thought that is really hard to create a curved or reverse curve shapes with out mechanical technique, or 3D printing technology. I would like to know how students in the industrial design discipline make their products especially with metal material. In architecture discipline there is few chance to use metal to make model, but models like Frank Gehry' Walt Disney Concert Hall have to use metal sheet to show the movement of the form and reflective materials.

And a well prepared template and tool choice can achieve a better result. In the project Reverse I was quite inspired by the beautiful shape. I didn't have time to actually make a design and model, but I made a image to show my idea of reverse roof. I think I can try
