  • "America, is probably one of the western country that has the smallest understanding of the importance of the Cultural aspect. It's becoming more and more easy to get a cup of " Coffee " at any time everywhere, there is now Starbucks almost every block. Food chains and franchises, are everywhere, and that of course apply to GYM and Yoga chains in major US cities. So in the future, when those " Fast Entertainment/food chains ", become a delivery service, this will only accentuate the disappearance of local businesses, markets, and cultural structures in cities. In Europe for instance, what bring " life " the the city, is simple everyday experiences like walking down the street to get bread at a local bakery, and on the way there, eventually stopping by the flower shop, running into a street artist, and ending up taking a break at a Cafe after the job is done etc... I know it's probably just a concept for fun, but I hope that for the future, instead of putting our design efforts on helping those big chains invade our cities, we focus more on how to enhance more meaningful, simple everyday human experiences, highlighting more of the cultural diversity that a city has to offer."
