    Thanks for the info.
    Unlikely to happen for me but visiting there sounds amazing.

    Thinking of an anti "statement architecture", pro " design for beauty, workability, livability" building design book called A Pattern Language.

    Imagining a TV series comparing and contrasting places like Saltaire with [waves hands at overbearing non-organic buildings].

    Yes products and services have become very un-usable for an increasing proportion of the population.

    Hidden controls, complex controls, hidden food packaging openings, food jar tops that need tools to lever open, the whole of IT (with a few exceptions), low audio quality phone calls, microscopic print on food packaging are just the ones that spring to mind.

    Seems to be a de-couple between design and consumers.

  12. Okay, I said I wouldn't post much #VisualArt stuff here, I guess mainly because I'm doing more writing these days, but this particular #drawing feels like a very Mastodon-ish thing.

    I''ve been a fan of #APatternLanguage for years, and at the beginning of pandemic decided to #write a #novel using its deep linking structure as a framework.

    So, being someone who draws, I said, "Oh, I'll just do a little sketch to see what that might look like."

    A hundred hours later...
