"¿Lucharías por tu país?", así, en abstracto, es una pregunta trampa que solo sirve para mobilizar sentimientos patrióticos irracionales. Los mismos que llevaron al matadero a 11 millones de europeos en 1914-1918.

A new word: chromification.

Stainless steel is a useful material that can also be very cool, but it feels like we’re using it too much.

You’ve got the same chrome railings and bollards literally everywhere, regardless of the street or building they’re next to.

It’s actually quite strange to see exactly the same default stainless steel railings everywhere you go: in train stations, outside houses or shops, at museums, inside apartments.

That makes places feel generic, and because the colours are cold it gives everything an industrial vibe that isn’t particularly welcoming.

Plus shiny silver things are very reflective and therefore attention-grabbing, so these railings stand out in a way they really shouldn’t, disrupting everything around them.

You could make the argument that, in the past, identical cast iron railings were also used everywhere.

That’s sort of true, but the differences are a) those railings were painted, so the cold chrome feel wasn’t a problem, and b) they were always designed differently, with varying decorations, so they weren’t actually identical, unlike modern stainless steel railings.

The problem isn't stainless steel itself, which can be extremely beautiful when used properly; the problem is making it the default rather than using it with intention, which is the heart of all good design.

This isn’t about going back to cast iron railings. Stainless steel is more durable and cost-efficient (in the long run) so it’s only right that we should use it… in which case the question becomes how we use it.

And the good news is that these railings can be treated to create a bronze finish (or any other colour) which makes them warmer or more suited to the place they’re being installed.

It’s surely just a matter of time before that becomes more common… but the first step is pointing out the problem!

@O_Chatogptisse O debate está a ser bem pior que o anúncio. Aquela cambada de inúteis não lhe desmonta as mentiras, não contraria argumentos simplistas e populistas e limita-se a dar-lhe palco.
