Intelligent design
The intention of design should include purpose and course. Intelligent design dictates the intellectual property of design that I have referred, design that extends beyond aesthetics and leads to an absolute solution. The solution should be direct and intuitive; users guided through productivity and function by an innate conscience of efficiency and sustainability. If the purpose of locks and handles were to ensure privacy or commend access, this example by designer Arnaud Lapierre supposedly represented such philosophy by an intelligent solution. If the room is accessible then it is visually and intuitively represented by an extruding handle. If not then the handle is retracted, hence no handle, no access. It needs not delicate locks and colored indicators that represent the condition of the room, the solution is efficient and straightforward, addressing the situation by a direct interpretation that it satisfies.
Products are solutions to problems, yet they often promote further problems than it regards. The problem with the contemporary society, beyond the billions of “problems” our society is plagued by, is a false apprehension and gratification of course and order. The effort to increase global awareness of the environmental crisis is a respectable beginning, but is immensely insufficient. For one the campaigns leave little to know for how the individual should comprehend, and second what little can be done by the collective population. The problem actually, is dictated by the multinationals corporations that exploit our world for their profits. Consider the automotive industry, one of the leading sources of environmental impact. The consumer environment is command and controlled by de facto multinationals. How are no emission electric automobiles rejected in environmental agendas? Are we to believe that hybrids are the absolute solution to environmental impacts? The government tends to think so, only because both the automobile and energy sectors exert prominent forces on economical and political influence. This leaves burden on aspiring directors and designers, to dictate a healthy consumer environment that respects our environmental obligations by means of intelligent design.
