- Arthur Erickson

About this Quote

This quote by Arthur Erickson talks to the idea that in the modern-day world, there is a fascination with efficiency and efficiency that has actually taken precedence over the spiritual and instinctive elements of space and type. Erickson is suggesting that this fascination has actually caused us to focus on the aesthetic of the maker over the spiritual and intuitive aspects of area and type. This has resulted in a world where the focus is on the performance of the machine, rather than the spiritual and user-friendly elements of the area and kind. Erickson is recommending that this obsession with performance has caused us to lose sight of the spiritual and intuitive aspects of area and type, which can be simply as essential as the visual of the machine. He is recommending that we ought to put in the time to value the spiritual and intuitive elements of space and kind, as they can be simply as essential as the efficiency of the maker.
