Have been thinking about your success with bringing good exhausts into private spaces to increase air quality and wellbeing of people.
-
And I’ve been thinking about Signage - or: an attempt to shape a communication, an awareness
-
Exhaust hoods and better living spaces will be in the future
-
People will have nicer places to live (~ because of your work and of general progression of everything engineered and architected
-
I think of Germany (~ living spaces there are pretty nice; they are better; not perfect;
-
And while houses in Germany are better, people barely understand or know the GOOD INTENTIONS that were put into building them because they didn’t build them
-
And so, CULTURALLY SPEAKING, the intention behind building a HEALTHY, BEAUTIFUL place for Wellbeing is LOST
-
Somewhere along the way of making our world prettier and better, the intention of those shaping the world toward betterment was lost
-
A story that isn’t told
-
And I see the big danger here in unaware people living in paradise, not knowing how to use it, how to appreciate it
-
Signage
-
Signage is interesting
-
It tells the tiny stories
-
It places something into your head without your consent
-
You sorta have to read it
-
It’s a lot of warnings
-
A lot of: “this is the worst situation possible”
-
And that’s the narrative that engineers shape
-
Engineer tell stories too
-
But most of these stories are “instructions” and “warnings”
-
And I think we need to start telling more stories about “we put care into building this for these reasons”
-
So there grows a cultural memory and awareness of why we live in the world we live in
-
I think this will do good to human civilization in many ways - I won’t list all them right now
-
At the core, there is an energy shift in trying to pass on something, rather than hand off a product
