[asperous]

The style of archetecture, food, decore, etc. used to be hand made with complex ornate patterns.

Then "modern" (I'm sure there's a more specific term here) came and things that were flat, "same-y", 90 degrees, and facuets that look like this: [1]. Mass production. A reflection of the industrial processes that were developed.

I am curious to see if 3d printing can bring back some of the ornate patterns of old. This time without the hand work.

Sometimes, people use mass production to make really nice things at scale. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/how-japan-copied-americ... under the Work Wear section.
