Airlines aren’t the only ones to blame

Posted by: Patrick Glinski, at 9:17 pm on December 2, 2009

Designing a decent airport experience is not rocket science. Good airport experiences could go a long way towards helping an industry notorious for experience breakdowns.

A lot of emphasis gets put on how terrible airlines treat their customers. But lets be honest, the experience delivered by the airports we visit has a large role in our travel experience. And anyone who has ever fought the escalators during rush hour in o’Hare, had their plane take off five hours...

Posted by: Riwa Harfoush, at 10:04 am on November 19, 2009

This past summer, I left my apartment in Milan, Italy for a farm in Normandy, France; That’s right – I voluntarily traded Prada for permaculture. Little did I know that I was leaving a design capital to get a serious design lesson. Rubber boots and metal sheers in tow, I was ready to heave...

Call me Cr4zy

Posted by: Jessica Tien, at 12:34 pm on November 13, 2009

Posted by: Paul Morrison, at 6:34 am on October 13, 2009

Just watching this vid already, I’m ready to buy into this software. The system itself looks great, and I’d love to use it. How do you see the future of multitouch heading? Something more along these lines? I’ve personally found touch desktop all-in-ones to be somewhat pointless, and...

The Most Innovative Meal on Earth: Dining   at El Bulli – Part 2

Posted by: Scott Friedmann, at 7:02 pm on September 22, 2009

After ten courses of snacks, 2 cocktails and an initial barrage of stimuli the core of the meal begins. Can I really last 25 more courses? Will each of the dishes be distinctive and thought provoking? Am I about to see the greatest show of culinary innovation the world has seen in the past half century? or longer? Is this the Cirque du Soleil of dining or a combination of creativity and hype fueled by a PR machine? What role has design thinking really played in the creation of the experience I have just started?

PART 2 of 4 This is the second in a four part series on my adventure ding at El Bulli. Before heading up the coast to Roses I spent some time in Barcelona exploring the Boqueria market.
