I first noticed rows of yellow bumps running down the middle of walkways in the Tokyo Airport. The second thing I noticed were kind signs and braille on the buttons lining the walls of bathroom stalls.
Infrastructure is a pretty good way to understand the collective values of a country, company, or perhaps any collective group.
How we build things over generations and in big groups is worthy of a closer look than most of my fellow Americans tend to give.
It's a little embarrassing for me to admit, but I'd never thought about how physical infrastructure tells the story of culture until my first trip to Japan. Now I can't stop thinking about it.
