Designers vs. engineers
New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) currently features an exhibition
called "The Value of Good Design." See https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/5032 Unfortunately, they include the 1960's Spacelander bicycle as an example of good design! See https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibi...image_index=34 I took one for a brief test ride many years ago. MoMA's standards are certainly far different from mine. It's hard to imagine a heavier, clumsier rattletrap of a bike. Heck, I'd prefer that Fiat 500! But then, the rest of the exhibition seems to glorify the 1950s and 1960s as an era of "good design." Weird. -- - Frank Krygowski |
