"In our most lucid moments we look with amazement at the fraud we perpetrate on our bodies" (bernard rudofsky)
Design – be it shoes, chairs, interiors, buildings or organizational models – is often a mental concept to which people are expected to adapt. And so we squeeze our feet in too tight shoes, force our bodies in awkward chairs, sit in offices that run our nervous systems amuck and give ourselves over to models, diets, prescriptions and recipes, that promise miracles from outside, but take no account of what is fitting from inside.
Body Conscious Design instead proposes to take the body as a starting point. In this website you can see how.
