spaces and reasons

We create spaces to evoke feelings, but do we over complicate the process of the emotional journey for the user? Do architects really understand the emotional dynamics of the population at large? Does anyone beside ourselves really care about the built environment if it satisfies the id.

Craft, does it still require the hand in the 21st century? Can a computer mouse and a great mind be considered the same, is a cad drawing the same as a craftsman with a chisel in his hand? Simple question to ask, but difficult to explain.

Greening Society

This craze of considering the cycles that our products go through have seemed to have gone mainstream in just the last couple of years. Considering the impact that products have on us is a responsible act, and trying to create items that will integrate into the worlds natural cycling process will create new opportunities for new products. However when this much hype is built up around a product or idea and we see everyone from celebrities to politicians making these choices we sometimes find ourselves over-saturated and disinterested in the core idea behind it ,and move on to some other interest and never take advantage of the full potential that could arise from that idea. What will happen, will this new ideology stick or will it go out of vogue?
