原文语境

Good design relies on context: how a building fits its street, or how a chair fits a body. Today, these factors are often ignored because we live in an attention economy. This system rewards extreme designs that are instantly visible and easy to share online. In this process, it is easy to lose sight of balance and purpose. A house that dominates its yard or a restaurant designed just for Instagram are both responding to the same pressure: to attract attention first and think about the consequences later. However, there is a difference between ugliness and vulgarity. Ugliness can challenge our expectations in an intelligent way. But vulgarity begins when huge size, excess, or attention-seeking completely overwhelms context. Our designs reveal what we value. When buildings crowd their lots and storefronts battle for attention, we are left with a simple question: how much is enough?

好的设计依赖于环境:一栋建筑如何融入街道,或者一把椅子如何适合身体。如今,这些因素往往被忽视,因为我们生活在一个眼球经济中。这个系统奖励那些能立即被看见并在网上分享的极端设计。在这个过程中,人们很容易忽视平衡和目的。一栋占满院子的房子,或者一家专门为 Instagram 设计的餐厅,都在回应同一种压力:先吸引注意力,然后再考虑后果。然而,丑陋和庸俗之间是有区别的。丑陋可以以一种聪明的方式挑战我们的预期。但当庞大的体积、过度或追求关注完全压倒了环境时,庸俗就开始了。我们的设计展现了我们的价值观。当建筑物挤满地盘、店面争夺注意力时,我们只剩下一个简单的问题:多少才算足够?
