One idea found with in design that always intrigued me was the idea of "truth to materials" This idea came from Pugin and it means that nothing should be altered from its original state. Therefore concrete cant be painted, it must stay grey and rough. Wood should be also stay as it is in nature and not be shiny and used for a car such as it is on the picture in the left. I have actually used this concept this semester while doing the orange peel porsche tutorial. For this tutorial I made an old "Woody" station wagon to made out of "wood."
