[TED] Don Norman: The three ways that good design makes you happy

“Design is to transform the world from the current to the desired state for other people. ” - Brian P. Baily(UIUC)

What is good design?
and What matters should designer care for their final design. During my university studies and when I do my studio projects, I am mostly seeking this questions to get good solution. and I have found my interests are focused in the relationship between space, nature and people and the interaction between these. In my designs I like to develop this relationship further.

In this video, Don Norman indicates some important point for people who hope their design makes good experience to its user.
he studies how real people interact with design, exploring the gulf between what a designer intends and what a regular person actually wants.

but he is himself and that makes him so pleasurable to listen to. So enthusiastic about his subject that i carried on lstening to him and started looking at more of his talks.

I believe his thinking and theory are of course hugely related with landscaep designing. Because Landscape architecture is also the design process to solve exisiting problems and offer good experience to its users. Urban designer and landscape architecture have to care about how their design will effect to its users and visitors.

I also recommend his books.
