all the good things RSS

Everywhere in the world, amazing and wonderful things continue to unfold.

I appreciate the sublime
and things that are remarkable, smart, inventive or just beautiful. I also like to keep track of process and things that inspire. I also have a running set of helpful resources for UX design.


This site will give you a constant feed of amazing things in fields as varied as interaction design, web design, product design, business innovation, fine art, the humanities, and science.

My name's Jaireh. By day, I'm a UX designer for a big telecom company. I have also been: a designer of many things like this and this. Welcome to my internet Wunderkammer.

Historically the field of architecture has been dominated by 2 opposing extremes. On one side an avant-garde full of crazy ideas. Originating from philosophy, mysticism or a fascination of the formal potential of computer visualizations they are often so detached from reality that they fail to become something other than eccentric curiosities. On the other side there are well organized corporate consultants that build predictable and boring boxes of high standard. Architecture seems to be entrenched in two equally unfertile fronts: Either naively utopian or petrifying pragmatic. We believe that there is a third way wedged in the no mans land between the diametrical opposites. Or in the small but very fertile overlap between the two. A pragmatic utopian architecture that takes on the creation of socially, economically and environmentally perfect places as a practical objective.
