In Argument, "Construction should be decorated. Decoration should never be purposely constructed" Jones means that construction should be that is necessary. It should not be like construction when it's not, construction should be decorated, not embeding decoration into construction. One of Jones theory itself says that what does'nt happen in nature, is so not should happen in design architecture. in his book, "The Grammer of Ornament", he says, "true art consists of idealising, and not copying, the forms of nature".
I agree with Jones argument that construction should be decorated rather than making a decorative piece look like construction because which so not happens in reality, should not happen in design as it does'nt make sense to design. Construction should be decorated like so that it should looks like what it is made for rather than lokking like something else, differentiating from construction (its actual design for what it is was made for).
For support to my statement og agreeness to Jones argument I have posted the image above. This image is of kettle as decorated. As it is construction as decorated. In this image a kettle is decorated, made up of copper and brass. As it is not that much decorated that decoration finished it actual construction look, for what it was made. The designer curves in the end corners give it a constructive decorated look and preserved it actual look.
This image was taken from 'Andrew McIntosh Patrick Collection', a copper and brass rivetted kettle with cut-out baze frieze in the Japanese style in 1880.
