Whole point of design is not to be bundled together with art.
Good design strives towards a more engineering/problem solving approach - finding solutions to identified problems.
This is why the article is kinda whatever - design with ornamentation or doodads is not design.
- egypturnash 6y agoI grew up in a city full of “unnecessary” ornament and spent a while in a city where everything was turning into absolutely brutalist 5-over-1 apartment blocks. That ornament does a lot to make the place feel welcoming and human. Mood is a thing that design and ornamentation effects. It is a thing neglected by engineers and capitalists on the whole but it is important.
- scyzoryk_xyz 6y agoIt all depends on the quality of the design and engineering. If you feel alienated and shitty in a place, then it probably wasn’t designed very well. I don’t know where all the “capitalists” come in to the picture as that is a whole other matter.
