3 ways to create a space that moves you, from a Broadway set designer | David Korins

The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more.

People don't think about creating mood in their homes enough. I hate going through a home that's just white, beige, no texture. Where do you watch TV? That room should feel cocooning. Do you host parties in your dining room? It should feel decadent. Do you spend a lot of time in the kitchen? It should feel warm and inviting. If you're afraid of color, go for texture. There are zillions of great fabrics out there. Don't settle for the same boring fabrics everyone else has. Your home should be tailored to how you use it. It's beige and looks like a cheap show home, it probably doesn't say anything about who you are, or how you live.

I never clicked that fast on a TED talk
That Hamilton clickbait.

This was a very clever and inspiring speech to see!

I heartily disagree with his ending statement-revelation: that everything needs to be designed. Because there is beauty, symmetry, synchronicity, connection in finding our place as humans on our planet, and in our universe. Not everything needs to be designed for our egocentrism; we are part of a whole, of art and expression, and also of animal origins and humble growth.

wonderful way to stress the importance of an artistic vision, collaboration, and type of productions importance to the creation os a set. I am putting together a list of videos for theater kiddos warm ups next semester and this will be a big help to them :)

Speaking as an architect, he explained the human-space relationship better than most professors do 😂

Just randomly discovered this TED talk as I am stepping out of my comfort zone and hopefully designing a show. I disagree with the fact that mother nature cannot design and feel that we need to look at mother nature more. We are influenced by her all the time. For instance, the Aliens that feature in films such as The Alien Franchisee with Sigourney Weaver. I absolutely adored this talk and thank you for your insight.

He could easily star in one of the shows, he's so charismatic and funny! Great content too.

I see that there is an interpreter present. Is there any way you guys could film and upload ASL versions of talks?

[WallaJen]

It didn’t offer much. The three takeaways he stated could be summed up as: be yourself and design your personal spaces, with little regard to standardized elements, to reflect who you are.

Anything can change at any given moment in time.
