Works of procedural architecture function as well-tooled pieces of equipment that help the body organize its thoughts and actions to a greater degree than had previously been thought possible. These lofts address and reframe, right in the midst of the workaday world, what have thus-far been intractable philosophical problems, even at times giving rise to possible solutions. Set up to put fruitfully into question all that goes on within them, they steer residents to examine minutely the actions they take and to reconsider and, as it were, recalibrate their equanimity and self-possession, causing them to doubt themselves long enough to find a way to reinvent themselves. These tactically posed architectural volumes put human organisms on the track of why they are as they are. To be sure, every loft comes with a set of directions for use.

Wow, that makes me feel incredibly stupid. And yet I want one!

That's cool.

The 7 Habitrails of highly effective people.

So, chewy, can you give us a simple explanation of what these are? I didn't really have the patience to work through all the fluffy stuff to try to get a clue about what the basic concept might be, but it looks as though whatever it is could be interesting. (or maybe I missed a link on that page?)

Here's a quote from inhabitat's blog. The idea is that if you keep your mind alert by unexpected physical surroundings you will be more alert as you age:

Not everyone thinks that immortality would be a dream come true, but most people strive for a long, healthy life. Seekers of age-enhancing foods and lifestyle choices have often looked to Japan, whose population is known for living well into old-age with full physical and mental capabilities. This has been attributed to green tea, seaweed, tofu...and now, to an apartment design that will keep you agile and alert.

The Reversible Destiny Lofts were designed specifically to keep residents uncomfortable, always on their toes. Uneven surfaces, details that will make you trip and fall, stimulating colors all work together to produce an effect opposite the calm and tranquil setting we presume the elderly seek in a home. If you live in a Reversible Destiny Loft, the conceptual alternate universe will jostle you into good health and keep you ticking well into the 22nd century(talk about needing rent-control).

haha! I love it! Especially the part about tripping and falling! Reversible Destiny with full body cast options!

I'm glad I'm not the only one to feel stupid trying to read the blurb. And what the heck does it have to do with Helen Keller?!
