How do we require privacy?

We look forward to sharing ideas with you this coming Wednesday around privacy: how much is required, what constitutes a violation, and how our perceptions of privacy affect our interactions.

Let's hear it for Asymmetry!

Art historian, printer, typedesigner, Erik Spiekermann, presents a thoughtful case for Asymmetry.  Originally appearing in the August 2009 issue of Blueprint, this article makes the case that symmetry is easy, 

symmetry is boring,

(The Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, each side with this inscription: "A nation of poets, of artists, of heroes, of saints, of thinkers, of scientists, of navigators, of travelers")

and when it comes to symmetrical architectural design, "the impression ordinary people—that is, everybody except architects[, kings, or dictators]—get is one of feeling small and insignificant."

(Versailles)

So here's to Asymmetry for the every human and the living!  

Do you agree?  Post in the comments.
