  1. Here are two reminders from my bike commute today that, despite all the recent high profile hand wringing in the NZ media about e-scooters, these are not the big reason why the streets of our cities are dangerous.

    Of course it's all the cars.

    It's a choice that we design our cities like this.

  3. K67: A Relic of Slovenian Design in London

    It’s impossible to miss this kiosk. A bright yellow box parked outside Spitalfields Market, looking like it had been teleported in from a 1960s sci-fi film set. This is a K67 kiosk. It’s a modular street unit designed by Slovenian architect Saša Mächtig in 1966 and one of the most successful pieces of street furniture ever produced. Thousands of these were manufactured and scattered across Yugoslavia as newspaper stands, ticket booths, and telephone kiosks. Now one sits here on Brushfield Street, stuffed with art books and posters, quietly holding its own against the glass and steel of modern London.

    What caught my eye was the reflection in the window beside it. The kiosk is doubled, ghosted against the Victorian brickwork behind the glass. Three eras layered in one frame: nineteenth-century London, Cold War-era Slovenian industrial design, and the sleek commercial architecture of today. The little yellow box wins.

  4. The K67 kiosk, designed in 1967 by Saša J Mächtig, is a timeless example of modular design. Lightweight, adaptable and easy to transport, it became a newsstand, flower shop or snack bar in cities across Europe. For Domovago it remains proof that flexible design can shape everyday life.
