Some important points from article I read Celebrating Design Without Contending With It (http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/celebrating-design-without-contending-with-it)
Maybe the phenomenon of the “dumb” yet successful, familiar in many fields, applies equally in design.
…
Design (they are forever pointing out) is not merely an exercise in superficial aesthetics or styling, as the public may assume. It is, rather, a far more serious matter of problem-solving and experience-shaping, driven by a uniquely rigorous approach to the human-made world in all its dimensions.
…
how the design of any given space “really affects how we feel, how we behave”
…
“Design is not just a visual thing. It’s a thought process. It’s a skill. Ultimately, design is a tool to enhance our humanity. It’s a frame for life.”
Well, see you on next post. Cheers! 🍹
