Daan Roosegaarde
A dutch innovative designer that I have grown to have so much respect for over the past few days. After watching his TED talks and looking at the breakdowns behind some of his projects (I'll give his studio's website below) it's gave me a bit of breathing room for my own project.
Mister Roosegaarde created his own photo luminescent paint for public road use, then using that DNA to bring nature into a unique harmony with futuristic technology. Using this guy's innovation for a beautiful environment outside, as inspiration for my design. I want to take his outlook for the future of making environments less technological and bring the beauty back. He's going to be my rock.

What can we learn from nature? What can we take from nature and use it to make our lives and our future a much better place? We have so much technology starting to suffocate us, can we take it out of the computer? Can we bring back a real interaction with the world around us compared to zoning out in front of a screen?
People feel that Technology is solving our problems. Businesses are pushing us in their direction. I want to give us our own unique direction. I want the technology to be an extension of us. An enhancement of our lives. I don't want to force my idea onto people, I want them to have their own interpretation. The User and the Space will become one.
I want to show the future society how beautiful the environment is. The possibilities, what it can do for us, and how UNIQUE every one of us are.
It's not going to be HOW it works. I'm designing a new perspective, a unique outcome. As I design for the user, I'm also designing for myself.
Daan Roosegaarde, you'll never find this blog, but Dankuwel. I'll never say 'Yes, but' again. <3
