People don't think about creating mood in their homes enough. I hate going through a home that's just white, beige, no texture. Where do you watch TV? That room should feel cocooning. Do you host parties in your dining room? It should feel decadent. Do you spend a lot of time in the kitchen? It should feel warm and inviting. If you're afraid of color, go for texture. There are zillions of great fabrics out there. Don't settle for the same boring fabrics everyone else has. Your home should be tailored to how you use it. It's beige and looks like a cheap show home, it probably doesn't say anything about who you are, or how you live.

I heartily disagree with his ending statement-revelation: that everything needs to be designed. Because there is beauty, symmetry, synchronicity, connection in finding our place as humans on our planet, and in our universe. Not everything needs to be designed for our egocentrism; we are part of a whole, of art and expression, and also of animal origins and humble growth.

"Because there is beauty, symmetry, synchronicity, connection in finding our place as humans on our planet, and in our universe" - this doesn't really mean anything though, or at least nothing that negates his actual point, which he also immediately qualified. What he's saying is that it's not nature's priority or interest to be helpful to us, so if we want to live in a world that is helpful, accessible and doesn't constantly get in our way, that needs to be designed. The drainage example was pretty fantastic.

@@DodaGarcia I think you're making a good point, though I haven't watched this talk in a while. I bet if we had a real back and forth conversation together, there'd be some good insights out of it. I'll have to rewatch this talk. thanks for the input 🌱

I think he was coming from a production designer perspective. We are taught to create a world that is believable and to do that we have to design everything, even the placement of a spoon on a table. The set has to work with the characters, the era and everything that comes with building a world

Absolutely agree, nature is the master designer of everything, we just copy or adapt for our petty lives, but he's from N.Y. , what else could we expect? 😁🤷‍♂️,👍👋.

It didn’t offer much. The three takeaways he stated could be summed up as: be yourself and design your personal spaces, with little regard to standardized elements, to reflect who you are.

@drewdogg416 5 жыл бұрын

But he did it in a very unique way, from a unique perspective. I know you hear all those tropes all the damn time. The "be yourself" bs you always hear. This man brings it to a whole different view, and it's one that brings every day things into it. Color, design, buildings, stairs, etc. However, I am a huge theatre geek and after taking a class on building sets for stage productions, I really can see these perspectives.

Not clear what the talk was really about. The takeaway seems to be to put a plexiglass in your living room so you can receive your guests like Kanye West. I think.

Not in the UK.( Health and safety.} Stairs are a standard size. There are seldom exceptions. This is a classic American Bullshitter. Probably massively overpaid with a huge budget.
