Comment on Galeria Kaufhof advocates Universal Design by Klaus Strippel

Klaus Strippel — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 16:59:17 +0000

Yes, indeed, Galeria Kaufhof stays at the forefront of companies realising the demographical shift with its chances and using a really integrated approach on it.

Being the cooperation partner for the initiative “universal design cologne” (http://www.ud-cologne.de) for bringing the exhibition “UD – Designing our future” to Cologne within the PASSAGEN context (an interior design show) they helped showing the exciting UD principle to an audience not very often confronted with it.
And it’s a success!

Prof. Topel is right by saying its nothing new for designers, but still products and services often don’t serve the needs of all generations.

Thats where ud-cologne comes in bringing together players from all different fields to discuss ways to make universal design an everyday experience for everyone.

We from ud-cologne invite everyone from all parts of the world to join the network. Please just get in touch (strippel@ud-cologne.com)!

Comment on Excessing surveillance: Naked body scans by Tomas Estrada-palma

Nah. It’s worse that that. Do you suppose if this young woman knew the images would look this clear before they are blurred then released to a duped public she would have been scanned?

Oh by the way if you run into her tell her she buck naked on the Internet.

I do not have the technical specifications of those scanners. As it seems feasible that there will be more than one supplier, the radiation might vary.

What concerns me more is that you have “to put down your trowsers” anytime you want to fly. At least within Europe travelling by train becomes a true alternative. “Travelling with dignity” if you want…

Comment on Body heating against climate change? by Marco Siebertz

Hey Ulf!

Long time no see! Well – yes – about the potency problems, that’s a big issue. You should ask the company if they thought about that. Otherwise they might be in big trouble.
About the cold objects: maybe we should put a micro-heating in all objects that are likely to be touched in our houselholds…
