Architecture Workbook

After all, a kiosk has only a few moments of your attention, it cannot develop a sequence of experiences, it is a small stage upon which the delightful must play. If the total object is intriguing, that is a definite plus. If the object makes a wry reference to the atmosphere of the city in which it finds itself, that is a sophisticated move; if it marely fits in well with the place, that is maybe a civilised move, but less knowing. If some kiosks hardly care, concentrating only upon the trademark or the basic necessity of display, their relevance does not disappear completely, for now we have to look more closely at the detail.
