When did aircraft become so dirty? If the passengers do not hand over the garbage to the crew before landing, the pressure on a cleaning team that only has a few minutes falls to prepare an airplane for its next trip. Therefore, it may be wiser instead of having a fascinating book and toilet article in your hand luggage, taking a dust bag and a miniature vacuum cleaner.
On a flight from Verona to London on Monday and watch me in the business class, the seat was crispy, the package was still in situ, the front bag with empty beverage cans. This is so common that the crews rarely apologize that they only take away the garbage from them without comment – so life is now my dear.
You should be particularly tailored to the potential need for a shell when you take a long -distance trip. I recently found a apple nucleus in a sock in my place during the flight (a chocolate on my pillow would be preferable), and when I was looking for a lost pen under my seat after a fallen pen, I discovered a lost world of teaspoons, salt bags and enough crumbs to get a schnitzel too bread. But here is a bit bigger – the failure of the industrial design.
Last year I went to a lecture in which an architect spoke about the potential points of contact between the cost reduction and the good. In a hospital or an industrial building in which there are tiled surfaces, he works in advance how to cover a wall without tiles being cut (saves time, no waste, good for the environment). But he also spoke about something else that I now made clear, where will you keep your ground -piston machines, your brooms? And what is even more important will you be able to keep this room flawless without using cherry pickers or the scrubbing days?
I wonder how often the makers of airlines, the bosses of the airlines, triggered packages with chips on a new design, drop a spoon (and one or two phones) into his recesses and asked a cleaning team what they can do with this apparatus. Can you clean it in the seconds that are given to you? If you don't want to sit in an update from Tracey Emin's bed in the meantime, don't forget to have Mr. Sheen as your travel buddy at the next.
And Verona Airport. It used to be tight and a bit chaotic. Now they have thrown millions on a new terminal – and it is charming. The new infrastructure is part of the preparations for the Olympic Winter Games of 2026 Milano Cortina (this will be an important goal) and admittedly not everything is ready yet, but you have to hope that it will develop from her current oral. Simple design details seem to have been forgotten. For example, the plaster on the walls has already been cut off to reveal the metal frame underneath. Did the architects ask the maintenance crew for buildings for their advice?
Sometimes things go wrong because of poorly managed value -added technology and bad designs – but also worthy laws is to blame. Is someone, apart from turtles, is someone really liked that the screw cap is tied to a bottle? I'm not about how to scratch your nose. My problem is that they don't work. They show signs of incontinence – bottles and leak in bags when they try to celebrate the linked lid again. Or they turn the position in the middle of the river, which causes fluid to dribble down shirts. I stick to rose bottles with cork this summer, while I take a point of view in this issue.
But there are some things in life in which design is everything. The perfectly planned wedding last weekend in Lana, Haldtirol, from two former colleagues who got to know each other in Midori House (thank you, Nolan and Hyo). The hotel in which we stayed in Villa Arnica, where every element was considered and precise, reserved and beautiful. The sets at the Kylie Minogue concert on Tuesday. The book, The Anthropocene IllusionFrom photographer Zed Nelson, whom I finally saw on Thursday at the start The forecast). All moments when someone thought about how people felt in a room or when they turned a side. Moments when good design won the day.
