Staying “connected” through social media but feeling alone is going to be of a vicious cycle for children born into the millennial generation and those that follow. Sherry Turkle talks about how what is enough face to face interaction for a middle-aged executive is a problem for say, their teenage child who needs to develop social skills. When their parent goes on their phone while the they are talking, that child will feel ignored and go looking for social connection on their phone. Eventually they will exabit the same learned behavior perpetuating the cycle.
This origami inspired architecture is beautiful! All of the buildings look so modern and different than 'usual' modern-style architecture, so it really stands out. Even though I've been to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, I never realized it was designed to look like origami! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is really neat Carla! I wonder how they manage to engineer these buildings but still have them look like beautiful origami?! I noticed before I left Calgary there was a few new buildings that were doing some similar exterior designs to the health department building in Spain; now I am convinced it was origami-inspired design! Very cool.
