Science. The Art Part of It.

Richard Phillips Feynman was an American physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics.

From the Brain Pickings, I happen to watch a short series about his notion of beauty, honors and curiosity. His notion is certainly beautiful beyond words.

One of the biggest take away from the video (honors) is this.

When i was in high school one of the first honors I got was to be a member of the arister which was a group of kids who got good grades, and everybody wanted to be a arister. And when I got in to the arister, I discovered what they did in their meetings was to sit around to discuss who else was worthy to join this wonderful group that we are.

It is always good to have rewards and recognition. However, personally, a great designer do not need an award or club membership to be recognise as one. The rewards are much greater.
