Creativity: The Helsinki bus station theory
- RetroTechie 27d agoThis lingered around my mind a few times on unrelated stories. But couldn't find it later (not quickly anyway) as I had forgotten how it was named. Title shortened & to undo exaggeration. Often referred to simply as "Helsinki bus theory". Edit: A better source is linked at the bottom of the Medium article: https://petapixel.com/2013/03/13/the-helsinki-bus-station-theory-finding-your-own-vision-in-photography/ https://petapixel.com/2013/03/13/the-helsinki-bus-station-th...

- TFNA 27d agoI was expecting something about how, back in the early millennium. Helsinki replaced its original surface-level bus station with an architectually interesting underground one. Instead, this is a motivational article, formatted in LinkedIn-speak and as vapid as one of those classic Successories posters. Also a good example about how if content is hosted at Medium, it's probably not worth one's time compared to a classic blog.
