We're working from home, and we've got it licked, right? As the weeks and days blend together, it is becoming clear that there is a lot more we don't know about the future of our offices than we do know. Is working from home here to stay, even
It seems like all we talk about in the Covid-19 era is the Quarantine. The things we can't do, the places we can't go to, the home we can't escape. But the curious thing is, what comes next? There is a whole world of design to be discovered aft
Rachel and Charles look back at the first 50 Design Goggles podcasts. We chat about the beginnings of the show, and how it evolved into a chat about design, how it shaped Seattle, the world, and our future.
Whether it’s an abstract collection of geographic shapes, or a photo-realistic montage, murals are everywhere you look in Seattle, big and small. Some take planning and execution, and others happen organically. There are some, though, that tran
Not too long ago, there were (mostly male) Master Architects, moonlighting as professors, criticizing student work a few times a week, while students scrambled 23 hours a day to understand the architectural movement of the era. It was the Beaux
Design can make a statement. Sometimes it’s a statement that’s open to interpretation, something that reminds us of a feeling, or inspires us. Other times, the statement is clear and intentional, and the designer’s intent is transparent. In an
The design community in Seattle, and others across the country, are attempting to resolve their civic present with their urban future. It’s up to architects, planners, developers, and designers to listen to communities and shape the city to ser
The aggressive, angular, stainless steel wedge on wheels looks like something out of a science fiction movie. To say it’s polarizing is an understatement. People love, hate it, are scared by it, excited by it, some think it’s one of the worst a
3D rendering technology, 3D printers, CNC Routers, inexpensive recycled materials, and a whole new generation of open-minded designers and clients have led to an era where experimentation is celebrated, but tricky. Now that architecture firms c
Coffee: it’s as much a part of the identity of the city of Seattle as Puget Sound, salmon, the Seahawks, or the Space Needle. On top of that, it’s fair to say that coffee culture is everywhere in Seattle, and the design of each shop is as uniqu
“One-Off,” “Limited Edition,” “Here for a limited time only!” — if you follow design, you’ve likely been seeing these phrases a lot lately. There is a premium placed on design that is “of the moment” and then it’s gone. This so-called “short-ru
“Tactical Urbanism” is really just a fancy phrase for temporary installations in civic public areas. But what might seem like a simple change to your sidewalk or street for a few days can have a lasting impact on how our cities evolve, and how
History is filled with designers telling people how to live. And just as much, with people living however they please, no matter what designers say. This conflict between the creators of space and the people who inhabit those spaces goes on tod
One of the best parts of living in a city is having access to an endless array of bars and restaurants, and the food and drinks are just the beginning of what draws us out. Aesthetics play a huge role in the experience, as well, and design can
There is nothing more inescapable in the world of architecture and design than the celebrity architect. On television and in film, famous architects — both fictional and real — swagger and lecture, point to the horizon, and find themselves surr
We now live in a world where an entire generation lives in constant terror that their friends are doing something cooler than they are. FOMO, or fear of missing out, can have a paralyzing effect. How are today’s community spaces and event organ
Artistic expression is a fundamental part of the human condition, but body art remains one of the most stigmatized versions of expression on a global level. In the US, 40% of Americans under the age of 30 have a tattoo, so clearly something is
When someone asks you what it’s like to live in Seattle, it’s not the easiest question to answer, and one of the biggest reasons why, is that words just don’t do it justice. Three women set out to use graphic design to solve this, creating a bo
In the post “Inconvenient Truth” world, many of us try our best to be conscious of the impact we have on the environment, and designers, even more so. There are companies everywhere boasting how “green” their products and services are, and once
In today’s data-driven society, it’s easy to forget that we don’t experience our lives in numbers. Instead, we experience our lives in impressions and feelings. Design at its core is meant not only to help us survive, but to make us feel someth
The word “design” is one of the most intriguing in the English language (says us designers), straddling the line between specific and vague, and causing an unparalleled possessiveness among many creative professions. How do we unpack what it me
It’s official, Hustle Culture is a thing. As young workers enter the workforce, there is a glamorization of overwork. Some are cheering it on, but are we risking the burnout of an entire generation? Gary Vaynerchuk, dubbed by the NY Times as “T
Chances are, you’re reading this paragraph on your phone. And our phones are just one of the numerous screens permeating our lives. Considering how much time we spend interacting with our devices, you might say we spend as much time focused on
Just say the words “Post Truth” and journalism comes to mind. Whether you think the news is full of information or disinformation depends completely on who we trust to frame the facts, and our differing opinions are bringing a lot more polariza
We are all living in the Post Truth Era, whether we choose to believe it or not. Once upon a time, we all experienced the world accepting basic, fundamental truths, but, as of late, that's just no longer the case. Basic concepts, like science,
