Evolutionary Product Design Timeline

Architecture, art, and product design have always been closely linked to the spirit of the times and the era's most advanced technology available to the public.  Classic examples include the Werkbund and the Industrial Revolution, as well as the Bauhaus and de Stijl.  However, if we take a look at the trends with the computer and telephone, we can see that size is decreasing and portability is increasing: a portable revolution, or what Paul Virilio refers to as "révolution de l'emport."

Urban migratory movement during Games

_Home Stayers: residents who opt to stay in the city instead of vacation elsewhere
_Runaways: residents who leave the city and take a holiday elsewhere
_Changers: residents who leave the city and take their holidays at the time of the Games rather than at some other time of the year
_Casuals: tourists from outside the city who would have visited the city regardless of the Games
_Avoiders: tourists who stay away but would have come without the Games
_Extensioners: tourists who would have come regardless but stay longer due to the Games
_Olympians: athletes, trainers, coaches, support staff, journalists, fans
