We are online, but we are looking for human interactions. Why does a vlogger have more views than music views, such beautiful music performances? We are looking for communications. So we watch daily videos just to seek refuge of our mind. We need someone to talk to us. We are interested in what others think, what other’s lives are. We are online, but we don’t have a place to gather, like a central plaza. We are online, but we wander around, just like wandering in the street. On the internet, it’s just bits of information, maybe useless. You walk by. Hot topics and comments are sort of like gathering place for discussion, but not. You comment, and you are gone. Blogs are more intimate, you have a place to show yourself, though they are simple and maybe the web design is not efficient. The web design nowadays favors simplicity, but it takes away the human aspect of it. Everything is smooth, with only the information. Yes, we are overloaded with information, but we really need some characters in it. Less is less. It’s good for some time, but look at what modern architecture goes through. We need to reflect on this.

Built system have a purpose, but nature doesn't. So why do we design something that has a purpose? People like nature, but why do they want to enjoy a designed place instead of nature which doesn't have any purpose at all? Is it biophilia, or love of nature?
Talking about biophilia, how do you explain when people does not like a real nature? Do you want to live in a totally wild place, or have some convenience? Do you enjoy the hot sunshine, or do you prefer sitting in a room full of glass windows? Don't you need sun cream? |
