Lectures @ Parsons the New School for Design
The psychology of spaceAn analysis of the cultural implications of proxemics and the behavioral issues related to our relationship to the spaces we inhabit.
the psychology of objectsAn analysis of brand, function and usability. This lecture maps out how the natural struggle between control and discovery shapes how objects are designed and evolve as humans continue to shape the narrative.
decoding boomers & post-ww2 narrativeA lecture on post WW2 narrative in the US and the impact it has had on Baby Boomers as they have grown up. Part of my Analyzing Trends class at Parsons the New School of Design.
culture networksThe idea is that there is a flattening of time and space and therefore a flattening of our traditional understanding of the relationship between subculture and pop culture. The new model of interaction is more ambiguous and requires a more expressive than reflexive view of how influence works.
the structure of trendsHow trends are structured in relation to our behavior. Part of my Analyzing Trends class at Parsons the New School of Design.
