How can an airport be so uninviting?
That was the thought that went through my mind as I walked through the arrival process of Nice airport. (Please do look at these photos to see how utterly depressing the arrival is!)
How is it even possible to have humans build something so uninspiring? Especially for such a tourism centered destination.
(And while we are at it: how can the airport designer be so uncreative that they do not understand that women want to use the restroom after they land? – just look at that queue!)
For 25 years I have been speaking and writing about how we need to become more creative – but recently this message has started to resonate more strongly with me.
I now feel we have to become MUCH (!) MORE CREATIVE!
The world is filled with problems and opportunities- and creativity is the tool we use to solve these problems and harnessing those opportunities.
From big problems like giving humanity access to clean drinking water – to ”small” problems like designing airports that do not make you depressed as you use them.
Come on humanity!
We can do much better than this.
Would love to hear your thoughts on LinkedIn.
