People don't think about creating mood in their homes enough. I hate going through a home that's just white, beige, no texture. Where do you watch TV? That room should feel cocooning. Do you host parties in your dining room? It should feel decadent. Do you spend a lot of time in the kitchen? It should feel warm and inviting. If you're afraid of color, go for texture. There are zillions of great fabrics out there. Don't settle for the same boring fabrics everyone else has. Your home should be tailored to how you use it. It's beige and looks like a cheap show home, it probably doesn't say anything about who you are, or how you live.
I heartily disagree with his ending statement-revelation: that everything needs to be designed. Because there is beauty, symmetry, synchronicity, connection in finding our place as humans on our planet, and in our universe. Not everything needs to be designed for our egocentrism; we are part of a whole, of art and expression, and also of animal origins and humble growth.
"Because there is beauty, symmetry, synchronicity, connection in finding our place as humans on our planet, and in our universe" - this doesn't really mean anything though, or at least nothing that negates his actual point, which he also immediately qualified. What he's saying is that it's not nature's priority or interest to be helpful to us, so if we want to live in a world that is helpful, accessible and doesn't constantly get in our way, that needs to be designed. The drainage example was pretty fantastic.
@@DodaGarcia I think you're making a good point, though I haven't watched this talk in a while. I bet if we had a real back and forth conversation together, there'd be some good insights out of it. I'll have to rewatch this talk. thanks for the input 🌱
I think he was coming from a production designer perspective. We are taught to create a world that is believable and to do that we have to design everything, even the placement of a spoon on a table. The set has to work with the characters, the era and everything that comes with building a world
Absolutely agree, nature is the master designer of everything, we just copy or adapt for our petty lives, but he's from N.Y. , what else could we expect? 😁🤷♂️,👍👋.
Just randomly discovered this TED talk as I am stepping out of my comfort zone and hopefully designing a show. I disagree with the fact that mother nature cannot design and feel that we need to look at mother nature more. We are influenced by her all the time. For instance, the Aliens that feature in films such as The Alien Franchisee with Sigourney Weaver. I absolutely adored this talk and thank you for your insight.
wonderful way to stress the importance of an artistic vision, collaboration, and type of productions importance to the creation os a set. I am putting together a list of videos for theater kiddos warm ups next semester and this will be a big help to them :)
It didn’t offer much. The three takeaways he stated could be summed up as: be yourself and design your personal spaces, with little regard to standardized elements, to reflect who you are.
But he did it in a very unique way, from a unique perspective. I know you hear all those tropes all the damn time. The "be yourself" bs you always hear. This man brings it to a whole different view, and it's one that brings every day things into it. Color, design, buildings, stairs, etc. However, I am a huge theatre geek and after taking a class on building sets for stage productions, I really can see these perspectives.
I'm short. I wish toilet bowls were lower so I could put my feet firmly on the ground while I'm having my morning movement. Now I live in Asia... it's heaven!
Not clear what the talk was really about. The takeaway seems to be to put a plexiglass in your living room so you can receive your guests like Kanye West. I think.
Not in the UK.( Health and safety.} Stairs are a standard size. There are seldom exceptions. This is a classic American Bullshitter. Probably massively overpaid with a huge budget.

This was a very clever and inspiring speech to see!

He could easily star in one of the shows, he's so charismatic and funny! Great content too.
I never clicked that fast on a TED talk
That Hamilton clickbait.
I'm at 5:16. I was hopeful.
RX500 Android well I mean this was the guy who worked on Hamilton sooooo....

This talk make my creative gears start turning hella fast...tank y uou
I see that there is an interpreter present. Is there any way you guys could film and upload ASL versions of talks?
I noticed he wasn't in a well-lit space. That sucks.
Went to see Hamilton in the East End one my birthday! It was great!! :)
Loved every second
I saw it too! It was a bit too good to be true.
Speaking as an architect, he explained the human-space relationship better than most professors do 😂
Props to the dude doing sign language all the way to the right.
He is a really good speaker.
Happy Halloween, TedxTalks
Great talk David! And very inspiring 😊

I’m here for my school homework
That talk was pretty astonishing.
He should Show us the Place he lives, that might be intersting. The Talk lacks content. But obviously hes a good Designer.
Happy Halloween ted talks
George Siantis I know he lives in the building at 111 W 67th st in NYC
This still doesn't help me resolve the problem of finding the perfect couch. I've looked everywhere!
Happy 🎃 Halloween!

I Love it

I saw the Hamilton set in the thumbnail. I clicked.
Great.
알렉산더해밀턴 보자마자 들어왔는데 한국어가 없네 ㅠㅜ 디자인에도 관심이 많은데 영어를 못하네 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Honestly american and british stage design has always felt dull to me, not as out of the box as the rest of the contemporary european theatre scene
Nice
I REALLY CAN'T STAND HOW TED TALKS ARE
Can someone summarise the talk?
I watched it , but I'm not sure I understand .
?????????????
