I comment on Architecture and interior designs which I find interesting. To get better at examining ideas, I often engage in realms far outside of design.

I find the influences of design really interesting in relation to human emotions; and how landscapes and architecture influences the way we think.
To understand them better however, is also to understand how a human thinks and reacts to the world around them.
So though my primary interest is quite niche, I comment on many issues and ideas on this app to try to further my understanding of the world :)

Video games often get a bad rep for creating anti social behaviour when in reality, it's the best way to go through struggle with your friends under a controlled medium.
The best connections happen when you've gone through a shared hardship or difficult problem solving.

Apparently bird watching can be calming, because the chirping noises are an evolutionary signal that there are no predators.
Maybe this relates to the charm of having green spaces like Hyde and Central Park.

The best way to ensure that AI doesn't take over the world is to elevate what humans are good at, and somewhat diminish what AI's good at.
It may sound counter intuitive, but it may be nessersary to promote human values. We need AI to try to emulate humans; because the world becomes slop when we start to try to emulate AI.

Guard room of Belvoir Castle England
My favourite style of design for open spaces, as it has so much depth in terms of stairs, archways and staggered landings.
I can't imagine what it would be like to wander around and discover new angles to see that space.
Both the interior and exterior has a feel of randomness, as if it's an organic terrain. Perfect for architectural exploration.
The design is so different because it was to the taste of the 5th duchess of rutland, who had an enormous budget to see our her style.
I wish more castles were built like a labyrinth instead of just boxed hallways.

Trésor Caché in Paris designed by COGEMAD
- you probably can even believe that these are in the same building.

The above ground part of the house is incredibly well preserved, with much of the original painted ceilings that make you feel like you’re in a fairy tail.
Below ground, there are 4 floors below ground with a pool, a cinema and a nightclub.
The blend of design from top to bottom becomes a nice gradient from light to dark, with an overall warm tone which suits both the classical and modern styles.
The transformative nature of spaces is unbelievable. Indoor to outdoor, open plan to closed, distribution of light through the house etc.
My one critique would be that it may feel hollow when living on the upstairs, as you have such a deep living space below. Like having an underside of the bed that’s 4 stories deep.

Villa grand cap designed by Jean Nouvel.
I just love that they utilised the set hillside to maximise a feel of depth.
Each level is separated into living areas, guest houses, a swimming pool and in the upper areas a tiered botanic garden. The immersive feel you get from such a small area because you can change the vibe on each level is something I've never seen before on a small scale.
My one critique would be that the inside feels too open and blank as a cosier feeling with more 'hiddenness' would make it a 10/10.

Matt Damon talked about judging a film about 20 years later instead of immediately because you the nuances and effects can only be visible long term.
This can basically be applied to any area where there's no correct answer is very theoretical and opinion based.

The erosion of the third space has to be the biggest reverse we need to hit.
Whatever narrative that had about reversing climate change needs to be applied to this, far more urgent as it affects people of all ages.

Seeing a lot of posts about boomer mentalities, and I think it’s a case that they don’t have any cross topic reasoning skills.
If you examine their thinking and choices in a vacuum of a single topic, it’s very reasonable and logical.
But once you start to compare their choices in a range of different situations, it becomes incoherent and paradoxical.
Large language models being so bad at writing but so good at maths shows how we might be misinterpreting which skill is harder to perfect.
For a long time, stem was looked at as the ‘harder subject’, but I think now we are realising that humanities might have been wrongly treated.
The effects of understanding the humanities at a high level has a much more long term effect than stem. And we are coming to understand that now we have a bunch of stem industries with no direction.

I think the future of innovation is going to be achieved in warmer climates.
Historically when the days were shortened due to winter, people socialised less and focused more on research and discoveries as entertainment. Now that there more consumerism in entertainment, we are no longer pulled to difficult tasks.
Which might indicate that to be more social and present, you need warm weather and a nice climate.

There’s probably going to be a big push for well built analogue products again.
For a long time it was a status symbol to get the new technology that just realised as there were new features and exciting progress. Now it’s just filled with annoying updates and potential cybersecurity liabilities.
I don’t like the nature of pushing group project based learning at any level of school.
It sets the precedent of just accepting your work environment and you spend so much time dealing with each other it’s just inefficient.
It’s claimed to help learn ‘teamwork’ but the real need in the world is real team building. Like how a GM would build a sports team.

AI is best used for repetitive processes, it’s the perfect tool for humans to cut out the boring work and focus on the big ideas and be creative.
Most tend to fall into the opposite though, they leave the thinking and creativity to AI and do the robotic work of writing that up themselves.

With so much real chaos happening around the world, it’s so suprising that the horror and true crime genre is still so popular.
People love to complain about the state of the world and then tune into to more unfortunate events to relax. Maybe it’s an addiction to pessimism.
