Kunle Adeyemi: Makoko Floating School & Water Architecture
Kunle Adeyemi built the Makoko Floating School on Lagos lagoon and iterated it across three continents. Climate-adaptive water cities.
Design & CultureWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Design Philosophy: Florence Knoll — I Am Not a Decorator
Florence Knoll invented the modern office by treating interiors as architecture, not decoration. Her Planning Unit changed how corporations think about space.
Design & CultureDesign Philosophy: Futura — The Signature as Art
Futura started on NYC subway trains, broke from letterforms into pure abstraction, and proved that a graffiti tag is the original identity system.
Design & CultureDesign Philosophy: Kashiwa Sato — A Strong Identity Is an Icon
Kashiwa Sato redesigned Uniqlo, 7-Eleven Japan, and 1,700 products by stripping brands to a single icon. His method: zero in on the essence, then compress.
Design & CultureDesign Philosophy: Don Norman — It's Not the User's Fault
Don Norman invented the term 'User Experience,' named the Norman Door, and proved that when a user fails, the design is broken -- not the person.
Design & CultureTobias Frere-Jones' Design Philosophy: Type Solves Problems
Tobias Frere-Jones walked Manhattan block by block photographing signs, then built Gotham from what he found. His typefaces are civic infrastructure.
Design & CultureDesign Philosophy: Charles Harrison — The Quiet Giant
Charles Harrison designed the plastic trash can, the View-Master, and 750 products at Sears. His audience was the family on a quiet street.
Design & CultureDesign Philosophy: Daniel Arsham — Everything Becomes a Relic
Daniel Arsham casts everyday objects in volcanic ash and crystal, then presents them as artifacts from the future. His method: future archaeology.
Design & CultureDesign Philosophy: Matthew Carter, Type Hides Its Methods
Matthew Carter cut metal punches, then made Georgia and Verdana, the typefaces that taught screens to read. The constraint is the design.
Design & CultureDesign Philosophy: Paula Scher — Serious, Not Solemn
Paula Scher sketched the Citibank logo in seconds on a napkin. It took her 34 years to learn how to draw it that fast. Speed is mastery, not carelessness.
Design & CultureDesign Philosophy: Rejane Dal Bello — Citizen First
Rejane Dal Bello designed an alphabet that degrades like Alzheimer's. Her method: distill complexity into a simple idea with human meaning.
Design & CultureFumihiko Maki's Design Philosophy: Creation Is Discovery
Fumihiko Maki built Hillside Terrace over 25 years, one phase at a time. His group form theory: buildings should participate in cities, not dominate.
