Bad Design #9 — heat me up, I mean down
It’s nice and chilly at the moment in Sydney, so the portable outdoor heaters are in use. Bars, restaurants, cafes, they all use them. You can see four of the heaters in the above photo outside The Australian

Thought #2 — it’s basic quantum physics
I thought this thought would be appropriate on this, the last day of the year, as many of you ponder the road ahead. Basically it goes like this… If you have thought about it, it is a possibility. The

Bad Design #2 — pull or push, tell me more

Bad Design #1 — do, or do not, there is no try
When designing for a purpose, it is important not to do a half-arsed job. Public toilets are changing every day, making them a more pleasant experience. We can thank good design for this. In locations
