150 words narrative

During the design process in architecture, there was a battle between Form Idea and Matter. It was argued a lot whether the design should be based on the ideas or on the matter of the products. However, due to the requirements of efficiency, architecture was connected to mechanization and afterwards, the form of the products was determined by matter, i.e. the material and physical size. After exploring both ways of design, the architects found that there was an inevitable relationship between idea and matter. The matter design process needed to incorporate with the idea in order to make good designs. It’s just like the swordsmanship in Chinese, cooperation gives out more power in the battle. Therefore in my animation I made two swords which represent idea and matter respectively. They first explored their own ways separately and fight with each other. Finally they found only if they combined together can create the strongest power.
