After my airport experience, I recalled John Thackara’s article regarding design. The quote that arose for me was “After building objects as projections of our bodies, we can now begin to consider them as projections of our minds.” This is a beautiful inspiring note. Not only does it inspire me to continue with my research, but also encourages me to ask questions … How do we begin to design objects after design? How do we design them to remind us of who we truly are? How do we begin to design artifacts that inspire our minds to grow? How do we reconnect with one another? How do we negotiate and navigate these questions with the global markets? I don’t have any answers to these questions, but it sure is exciting that there are conversations happening. There are small actions taking place in the design world. Let’s hope that the transformations occurring take us (the designers) back to aspirations of the futurists, to the radical movements that inspired and helped shift the ideals of everyday life. As John Thackara commented that small actions can transform bigger experiences and systems. Let’s hope that we begin to reconnect to the ground, to nature, to our true selves.
