Explore the concept of intentional design and its impact on creating fresh life experiences in this 19-minute TEDx talk by Idan Chiang. Discover how viewing design from an artistic perspective can transform spaces and lifestyles. Learn about Chiang's conversations with avant-garde artists like Yayoi Kusama and Takashi Murakami, and how incorporating artistic elements into design can help us live in the present moment. Understand the "diffusive aesthetics" concept in spatial design, which emphasizes the connection and interaction between artistic ambiance and people, rather than mere arrangement of objects. See how Chiang's philosophy of diffusive aesthetics has changed lifestyles, helped the homeless transform their environments, and created abundant new living experiences for all. Gain insights from Chiang's background in sociology, her role as a professor of decorative arts design, and her approach to integrating elegance, comfort, and happiness in spatial design.
