If you tilt down your refrigerator does it look better? Maybe then kids wouldn't be able to hang stuff on it! But for sure we would still use it as a post-it board.
Come on Designers, where are you?
So far I can see only advantages, a "lower heat convection" and a "fantastic overview" of all products inside the fridge, just to start!!!
White goods have standardized dimensions so that we can plan easier the "right corner" for them.
Todays they are 10x better in terms of energy consumption. Although its design remains the same.
And, of course, architecture depends on how refrigerators look like.
But why? Why architecture has always to depend on existing cliches and obsolete models!
Why dont we change the obsolete models and cliches instead of the architecture? Because its cultural to use the comum fridge so that everyone can find it? Cultural facts are not relevant for white goods design! Architects have to save the world but they are not Elves, so please promote evolution within your generation.
As we all know, cultural it is not an intelligence synonym! "People still think in our Era, that they get sick if they dont were shoes". oh... oh... my left eye tingle each time I hear that!
There is so many obsolete things that architecture includes, trying to sustain preconceived needs that actually do not fit anymore. Stop worship Culture! We do not live in a "slow-motion evolution" anymore.
Each Architecture should integrate new systems that allow people to question themselves and contribute actively to an intelligent development or what ever you want to call it. Come on, if we live in this massive information age, make some use of it!!!
Architecture can provide the bridge to that "new evolution". Creating codes that help to re-educate and adapt Man kind within one generation.
