2016:9 What I learned this week


Drawings and annotations of the objects people own in their homes. It's like visiting someone's home and going through their stuff, but through drawings called "soft maps"
Rothuizen's soft maps shed light on individual behaviours and desires, which are crucial elements to understand in urban planning. Rothuizen: "My drawings show how our ideas of what we want and what we have are two different things. I think that in order to plan what we want, we should start with what we have."

UX is not enough

I love these things. A small website that serve a small but specific purpose.

A (really good!) science fiction future (20 min film)
"In a near future where most people get a "cricket" implanted in their brains that allows them to switch to an “automatic mode,” a cricket repair man is faced with a moral dilemma when the parents of an autistic boy ask him to hack into the chip of their son."
