aluminium = golddddd

i never thought that learning about aluminium would have actually been interesting.. but considering how historically jammed pack this one little metal is, is crazy. never would have guessed that aluminium was actually worth and considered wayyyy more than gold.. gold!!!!!

i've been doing some research into the historical aspects of the metal - unbelievable some of the stuff that i found out about it - not too many visual stimulus to support the written info though - but pretty much i hope to deal with a few certain things within this project, including stuff like the complete appreciation of the metal in design history - it has been used so much in art and design to say so many things, the actual beauty and the preciousness of the material - highly influenced by its historical contexts - anddddd more stuff too
