Thoughts on spaces, content and poetry: „The present situation of the world appears unclear and confusing. Where we are heading is unclear, and any navigation is difficult. We are sitting in a strange ship on an unknown ocean with no „land in sight“. But designers should be the source of inspiration, the enchanting experts for designing our circumstances, because design is found where society has not yet arrived: design is attitude. Where do we stand? Can poetic spaces make a difference? “
