TED Talk Reflection

I enjoyed learning about the history and design behind the Pantheon. All the innovations required to build it is fascinating, and made even more so by the fact it was built over 2000 years ago. I found the how the Romans had to create a completely new design structure to incorporate the oculus very impressive. In addition, I thought it was ingenious of them to put in the oculus so they could see the heavens, allow light in, and cool off the inside, even when it was sweltering outside.

This TED talk really inspired me to want to incorporate more art and design in my future engineering projects. I never thought of consciously combining art and engineering, but now I feel like it could make some awe-inspiring creations.
