Problem#1: <strong>Culture</strong><br />

This difference between seeing <strong>and</strong> looking has been<br />

described many times in science <strong>and</strong> is a thankful topic<br />

in literature <strong>and</strong> art but is generally neglected by <strong>the</strong> design<br />

community since design is very rarely concerned<br />

with looking at <strong>the</strong> ‘whole’ <strong>of</strong> a given environment as<br />

this environment is technically split up between planners,<br />

engineers, architects, industrial designers, media<br />

placement specialists, graffiti painters, greenery l<strong>and</strong>scapers,<br />

house painters, graphic designers <strong>and</strong> so forth<br />

<strong>and</strong> so forth with zoning committees as a kind <strong>of</strong> general<br />

overseers.
