The basic elements of design include color, line, shape, scale, space, texture and value. In a few words, any successfully designed object must be ergonomic, proportional and functional. I am noticing that designers are deliberately degenerating design by not following these simple rules anymore. Are you paying attention to how design is degenerating?

I am aware of degeneration
I am too busy to pay attention
I don't really care about design

It's a pet peeve of mine. Whenever I buy an appliance, I study it to see where the industrial designer made mistakes, and how they could have been corrected. I should have been an industrial designer.

Do you get a jewish feeling of joy thinking about ways to cut corners, design products to have failures, and generally find ways to screw your hypothetical consumer?

Round my way there is lot of development. Houses are being razed and apartments and townhouses going up in their place (almost all chinese companies.)

And they're ugly, oh lord are they ugly. Plus they're look so... flimsy. In another 20 years this place will be a slum but I will be long gone from here by then.

Well, China obviously doesn't know shit about sacred geometry.

They know how to turn our garbage into commercial products to sell back to us. That's about it, along with pork-fried rice.

That's all that I've noticed. You can easily spot the areas built over the last 10-15 years as they are cube shaped and boring looking. I worked at a new home builder and they bought their designs and the different divisions (in different states) picked the ones that they felt would sell in their areas. Most interiors were all the same if you took 5 minutes and compared plans. I bet everyone is outsourcing their design to the same place(s).

I don't know how we came from absolutely stunning architecture to boring blocky lifeless buildings. I do think it's done intentionally.

Yes, especially the internet. It use to be a simple don't make me think design layout, but these days I'm finding sites more and more difficult and cluttered to use.

honestly its because culture grows tired of needless fabrications; it's tiresome.

another factor would be manufacturing system we use as to why goods dont offer better design. and various reasons could be picked from that.

my sewing machine arrives 29th(Consew 7360RB-2SS). going to be doing wall tent projects with some technical features. its tools, manufacturing that is the security we need. that and ability to communicate. because else it is an issue of transportation as long as a system of exchange or barter exists.

Examples?

Do you mean you haven't noticed anything weird yet?

Have you seen the new BMW models? Or clothes?

I'm pretty disconnected from popular culture. So, no, I actually haven't seen the new BMWs nor clothes.

BTW, my question was not a challenge. I'm genuinely curious what you've observed.

All you need is to go shopping, or browse the internet. Almost everything is degenerating.
