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

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).
