La artista estadounidense Michele Poirier-Mozzone nos propone una experiencia puramente sensorial.
Su trabajo es un estudio precioso sobre la ingravidez, la distorsión de la realidad bajo el agua y el sonido amortiguado del silencio.

But for articles, typing I believe it help to pace the thoughts better, some editing, delete, add another sentence. It's part of the craft for longer-text pieces
“My father observed that most buildings, and most buildings that we truly love, are not the work of architects. The agreeable settledness of the old English town, he reasoned, was the work of local craftsmen…”

@rorysutherland Well, last week, I heard this loud, rhythmic sound. Instantly I knew it was an engine that demands respect. And indeed, it was a Ferrari.
Supercars are build on a tripod: Heritage, Sound, and Design.
Without the sound, to command attention… design needs to work double.
If you live in a city with lots of highrises then you’ll spend between six and eighteen months of your life either in elevators or waiting for them.
When people are spending a whole year of their lives in or next to blank metal boxes with harsh white lighting that have been proven to make us more stressed, what impact do you think it has on individuals and on our collective humanity?
Elevators don’t have to be boring!
We use them all the time, so we don’t really think about it, but they are a civilisation-changing technology, because without them all our skyscrapers would be unusable. They are a critical part of how our world works.
And, though the hidden cost of not designing elevators to look nice is hard to calculate, it’s very real.
They don’t have to be quite as lavish as the elevators below (from the Marine Building in Vancouver) but there are lots of simple ways to make them slightly more enjoyable to be in, even just using bronze finish for the stainless steel or making the lights a little bit softer.
It’s weird to say so, but using an elevator can actually be an aesthetically uplifting experience that makes people a little bit less stressed, a little bit more productive, and genuinely happier.
The world gets better in increments, not gigantic leaps. Designing more humane elevators (because the way we design them now is literally inhumane) is a perfect, perfect example of that.
