Trophies and awards have a long history dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, where trophies were made from captured weapons and armor from victorious battles. Over time, trophies evolved into ornate cups and statues that were awarded to winners of sporting events and competitions. Today, mass-produced plastic trophies have become more common, though specialized firms still create custom crystal, glass, and metal trophies. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States and took over a decade to complete due to funding challenges, but it has become a globally recognized symbol of friendship and freedom.

Questioning the Collection
I have chosen to focus on a set of spoons from the Korean Goryeo Dynasty because I thought that the objects had an
interesting relationship between function and aesthetic. There is an argument to say that these spoons have been
designed for capital, they are simply a symbol of status and wealth. However I feel this is a very cynical approach to
take and they are a lovely example of what design is at its core. When I look at the spoons I feel joy, I want to hold
them, to test their weight. I want to use them and have the sensory experience of eating with them. I found myself
imagining the hands of the person who made them, the tools and processes they used to shape the metal.
I was drawn to the spoons because they give value
to an object we see and use everyday. My
understanding of a spoon today is tied up with
mundanity and familiarity. We are used to using
spoons which have been mass-produced and are
often disposable.
If we unpack the objects being displayed we see the
huge amount of care that has gone into their
creation. They have all been hand formed, giving
them a lovely tactility- I found myself wanting to feel
the smoothness of the bowl and the curve of the
handle. Each spoon is unique, they have been
designed to work coherently as a set but each has
its own individuality. Another layer to this care they
have been given is the fact that they have been
preserved so well for over a thousand years.
They have little signs of wear and still look like they could be used today, perhaps this suggests that these objects
were an integral part of society at that time- that they were seen as highly valuable and people thought they would be
valuable for years to come.
The information card says that “Spoons were often placed in burials...” supporting my theory of design over capital,
rather than design as capital. Although we know that the spoons had a lot of monetary value, and this is a reason
why they were found in burials, we also understand that they were important for other reasons. They were
considered special and important enough to be buried, implying that people who used them found they had a
spiritual or magical quality.
They may have been buried with the wealthy as a status symbol or they may have been considered necessary for
the afterlife.
Either way I think it is quite unusual today to find an object which is used everyday and is given this level of value. We
may have things like jewellery which we wear everyday, and are valuable, but an object with function and value is rare. I
think our modern equivalent may be mobile phones. We use them everyday, they are valuable in terms of monetary
value and usefulness, and have been designed to appeal aesthetically. Maybe in years to come archaeologists will find
mobiles buried with us in graves.

This document discusses the vision and concept of a hybrid museum. It proposes that the museum be reimagined for the 21st century with a brand promise of "Think about everything, differently." The hybrid museum is defined as combining two different elements or disciplines. Examples are given of other museums that take a hybrid approach, mixing collections and creating interdisciplinary narratives. The document advocates that the hybrid museum not only combine disciplines but also functions and organizational structures in order to generate new understanding and help people understand the world to make it a better place.

Notable Landmarks Around the World
- 2. Landmarks are prominent buildings or features found in various locations worldwide. They often have deep historical and cultural significance associated with the people who live nearby the landmark. Few of us are able to travel the world and view all of these magnificent structures in our lifetime. However, we are able to use Google Earth to virtually visit notable landmarks. Through Google Earth, we can simply type in a location and view it in stunning detail. The following slides are just a handful of our earth’s awe-inspiring landmarks. The rest of the world is yours to explore.
- 3. Look at the buildings surrounding the Colosseum. Can you notice any similarities? For example, do the structures appear to have similar architecture? Do you think they are made out of the same materials?
- 4. The Space Needle is a famous landmark and can even be said to symbolize the city of Seattle. Think about the buildings in your hometown. Are there any buildings that you think symbolize your town? Are there any buildings in your hometown that have historical, cultural, or personal meaning to you?
- 5. The Sydney Opera House has unusual architecture. Design your own landmark. Be creative and do not be afraid to use silly shapes, colors, or other design elements. What is the purpose of your landmark? An observation tower like the Space Needle? Maybe its an amphitheater like the Colosseum. Or perhaps your landmark is a library. It is completely up to you.
- 6. Think about what the Statue of Liberty means to you and to the United States of American. Then, share your thoughts with your group and discuss other possible interpretations of this landmark.
- 7. What do you think is the purpose of the Eiffel Tower?
- 8. Research the Temple of Angkor Wat. Why do you think this is considered a notable landmark?
