Been reading #NatureOfOrder by #ChristopherAlexander, one of the foundational #solarpunk texts. I came up with a neat trick how to #design things with much more life.
Draw eyes on it. Anthropomorphize everything. Like #AdventureTime #specialSentientSandwich. Imagine it's all alive.

Another entry about architecture and worldbuilding, and the difference between generation vs. creation.

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.

"Christopher Alexander and his group of architects, back in the ’70s, compiled the groundbreaking book A Pattern Language, which looks at the built environment from a city scale down to the décor on your house walls in terms of the human relations that structures and spaces elicit."

AFAIK this is where digital design pattern thinking comes from too (eg Dark Patterns).

#introduction Happy to be here and follow folks with similar interests. Mine include #writing, #design, #architecture, especially #christopheralexander, #womenpainters, especially #JoanMitchell & #JayDefeo, #editing, #poetry, and #SmallPresses. Recently relocated from the foothills of the Cascades to the north coast of California and loving the Noyo area. Ran a small poetry press for 20 years.
