thoughtless acts - jane fulton suri
To quote the opening of this fascinating book:
"thoughtless acts are all those intuitive ways we adapt, exploit, and react to things in our environment; things we do without really thinking.some actions, such as grabbing onto something for balance, are universal and instinctive.
others, such as warming hands on a hot mug or stroking velvet, draw on experiences so deeply embodied that they are almost unconscious. still more, such as hanging a jacket to claim a chair, have become spontaneous through habit or social learning. observing such everyday interaction reveals subtle details about how we relate to the designed and natural world. this is key information and inspiration design, and a good starting point for any creative initiative.
the pictures here [in Jane's book] are glimpses of this kind of interaction. they show a range of examples form the physical and functional, such as carrying things comfortably and being efficient, to the social and cultural where we have influenced one another to use space and objects in particular ways".
.... it is well worth wandering through this fascinating book of the "obvious" seen though a "non obvious lens" (my words, not Jane's).
Do you recall the stories of the Zen monk, the warrior and the teacup?
