Shaping Behavior Through Intentional Design: Jeff Sharpe at TEDxAustin

[@BerlinTerrero-ov5cm]

We can support the well-being of our communities by designing mindful environments. It highlights how our environment shapes our daily emotions and behaviors. All things considered; it serves as a wonderful reminder of how much design affects our lives.

Well now, I realize I must learn more than I am right now. Though, I never thought of the iris in that manner. Thanks for sharing some intellect.

[@linou_77]

where to learn this ? any course book or good source to learn intentional design ?

The eye does have an aperture, affected by light and emotion among other things; stress, lying, sexual arousal and drugs for example, called an iris, or pupil. Open that aperture and the world gets brighter and harder to focus. Oddly, the speaker says open the aperture and make the image more broad (widen the angle) but the aperture doesn't do that. You're right though, we are in conflict with our surroundings and with nature.

opening the aperture on a lens makes the image LESS sharp.

Ok, but nothing specific, pure abstraction. Purpose and experience can mean plethora of things depending on who you are, where you are, when you lived, etc. The problem is that designers can't comunicate their ideas to laymen.
