Design can be a picture on a page or a building in a city. It can be the placement of an object or the way something fits with all other elements. I traveled to Pittsburgh about a month ago and my family and I went into the REI store to check out some gear for my sister. As I walked around this store, it opened my eyes to adventure in another way. They had a rock wall that went two stories inside the store. I stood there and just watched the people climb. That day I made a promise to myself to start getting in shape to be able to get back on the wall.
So how is this design? The way the store was designed was one to open you to the wall as you walked in. The giant glass windows displayed the wall from outside and allowed you to dream and eventually pursue getting to the top. Also, the rock wall is not one you see everyday. It does not have movable rocks you can grab onto, as the whole wall is a rock. It is like you are doing the real thing.
