»A novel worth reading is an education of the heart. It enlarges your sense of human possibility, of what human nature is, of what happens in the world. It’s a creator of inwardness.«
Last week the largest synchronized power grid of the world experienced a massive blackout. For half a day all of Spain went dark, as did Portugal and parts of France. What is the system that makes your electric devices at home work and that we all take for granted? Is the next blackout just around the corner?

Design in public transportation is so fascinating because it can shine a light on a variety of issues in current public discourse: Usually deployed in large-scale projects, design choices often reflect careful consideration of the Zeitgeist, public norms of aesthetics, changes in transportation infrastructure and avant-gardist glimpses or concepts of what an imagined general public space might look like.

The steep rise of artificial intelligence applications and the ever-progressing miniaturization trend in chip-manufacturing make you think of a linear development: The future seems completely digitized. But there are downsides to the increasingly heavy reliance on sensors, LLMs and smart devices. Some can be counterbalanced by intelligently designed low-tech solutions.
