Accidental Design
Posted on September 17th, 2007 by Michael
The environment within which I grew up fostered an awareness and appreciation of accidental design. Those un-designed spaces like the house I grew up in, the local tavern or corner restaurant where so many memories, were indelibly etched into my memory. ‘Beautiful’ spaces aren’t always designed. Sometimes they seem to happen all by themselves - as if by accident.
Object based design leads us towards beautiful places in which wonderful things MAY happen. By shaping spaces around the activity rather than the object, there’s a much better chance wonderful things WILL happen there.
