If you’re spending zero time walking around in nature, it’s much less obvious that you should prioritize it than it is to someone spending even ten minutes a day touching the grass.
In designing experiences, the cornerstone with which we start is the “who.” Who is this for? Who are they? What do they need? Where are they coming from? Where do we hope to take them? What are they nervous about? How might we care for them? How might we be generous with them, and help them be generous with others?
people need many points of contact with the natural world to be happy and AC loses a few of them
which might be OK but all the others have been lost too. In the dead of summer and winter people wear flip flops and travel in space bubble cars to space bubble buildings.
I think people would be better off if they learned to use the whole earth. All five senses. the world is a very sensual place you know. People joke by saying "touch grass" but its much more than that. There's so much more. It's really there.
