I admit that I cringe every time I end up driving on the double-deck portion of the 280 "extension", especially when I'm on the lower (northbound) part. (I cringe a little less driving on the Bay Bridge.) -- after the crash, there will be fewer resources, fewer products, less advertising... and fewer designers. there will be no more sumptuous coffee table annuals, no more mass-mailings on creamy paper inviting members to attend gala events in distant cities. phone messages will be left unanswered, email unreturned, websites unsurfed. there will be less paper and more trees, fewer cars and more walkers, less airtime and more air. people will feel less assaulted by images and products and more attentive to the spaces between them. and they will begin to call these undesigned spaces "nature." - Adbusters (www.adbusters.org)
