Design & Behaviour. What Your Home Will Look Like In 2015. Here at FastCompany we often write about futurist predictions of life in 20, 30, even 100 years down the line.
But the National Association of Home Builders is offering up a vision of how we'll live in just four years--and it's a little different than what you might expect. The NAHB sent out a survey last year that asked members--designers, architects, manufacturers, and more-- what they think homes will look like in 2015. Some of the results aren't that surprising. The survey reveals that the average single-family home is likely to drop to 2,150 square feet from 2,400 square feet today, probably as a result of tough economic times and rising energy prices.

" A more important future trend is the use of resource-efficient features.

VISI / Blogs. The outcome of UK magazine Blueprint's challenge struck a chord for Alma.
By VISI managing editor Alma Viviers Four separate incidents cause Alma Viviers to re-examine the nature of design and the roles of designers. Incident #1 During 100% Design, UK magazine Blueprint challenged a series of designers, artists and architects to rethink the ubiquitous road sign. The results of this creative challenge produced, at least for me, a powerful reflection on how sluggish institutional elements like signage are in catching up to modern life.
The signs that display the Facebook, Twitter and Apple loading icons in particular struck a cord with me as none of these are actions that you can perform on a hands-free set (except if you have the Apple iPhone with Siri voice assistant). Incident #2 The gala dinner for the culmination of the visit of the 2014 World Design Capital judges was an evening filled with plenty of celebration and deserved back-patting.
