Someone mentioned Victor Papanek on Fedi today, and I’m reminded of his story about the 5 MPH bumper regulation that was proposed in Washington DC in 1972: the regulation said that a 5 MPH collision should not damage lights and other safety equipment. Car manufacturers predictably complained about the rule, claiming that it would add $300–$500 to the cost of each car. Papanek claimed that he could make a compliant bumper in 10 minutes for under $5.
Papanek’s solution was called “the hoagie”: two planks of wood with 60 empty beer cans between them. He attached the contraption to a car and drove it into an office building at 10 MPH and the car sustained no damage.
Papanek’s solution was, of course, not commercially viable. But he did prove the point that such a device was plausible and need not cost a fortune.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🎒🏞️ The Smithsonian traces backpack #design from a two-million-year-old practice to Ötzi’s hazel-and-board frame around 3300 BCE, then follows improvements through a #CivilWar cavalry officer’s patented canvas-and-metal pack, a #Duluth #canoe-hauling design, #aluminum-frame #mountaineering models, and the nylon #JanSport that made the #backpack a school staple. Roughly 450 million are sold annually.

人物访谈：苏志斌｜AI 和 3D 打印给设计行业带来了什么影响？_17.ylog
这期节目的内容是，我回答美国加州艺术学院工业设计系的学生们的一系列问题，分享自己从业十几年来不断踩坑、反思，所归纳出来的一些经验。这所学校创办于 1907 年，是在工艺美术运动的高峰中诞生的设计院校。
这期访谈通过视频会议完成，我会把用到的讲义放在 shownotes 里。如果你所在的收听渠道无法显示图片，可以访问本节目的网站：suithink.me/zlink/podcast ，找到对应的单集查看。

The cast aluminium of an old pump forms the lamps housing. Four slender stainless steel stilts hold the lamp above a robust terrazzo base.
