Reply To: what is good design?

I try not to discern ‘good design’ from ‘bad design’ so much as places I’d like to visit or not.

I think there is a lot of ‘good design’ that makes for boring places. It’s a much smaller group of people that truly cares for the quality of design of a space than those who care for the more readily accessible qualities such as physical comfort, pleasure, and entertainment.

Unfortunately, I think the bigger issue in LA these days may be the consistent rewarding of good design for bad places.
