Name: 99% Invisible-126- Walk This Way by Roman Mars
Duration: 17 min 10 s
Description: As humans have developed cities and built environments, we have also needed to develop ways to find our way through them. Sam Greenspan went on a wayfinding tour with Jim Harding in the Atlanta airport. Harding is one of the expert "invisibles" that do critical, but generally unrecognized work profiled in a new book by David Zweig.

Hmmm. A well-written instalment, but a bit of an obvious treatment of the subject. I preferred it towards the end where it reveals that way-finding is increasingly about herding us around like cattle and not necessarily getting us about faster and more efficiently. These have been aspects of mall designs for a long time now, I think.

i disagree. if we make it so people dont have to make decisions they will get stupid. if EVERYthing was this easy we would get stupid

Ha...Philip Glass' "The Grid" as the background music. Clever.

Dessa just released a brand new single called "Quinine"!!! The track was produced by Paper Tiger with co-production by Lazerbeak and additional production from Dessa herself (shout out to that sweet marimba). A true family affair and ultimate collabo heat knocker in every sense. This is the first new bit of recorded music that Dessa has released since 2013's Parts of Speech album and hints at way more to come.
