让人们画自行车时会发生什么
What happens when you ask people to draw a bike (2016)
2016 — 2020，它一次次回到首页

导读
设计师 Gianluca Gimini 让数百人凭记忆画自行车，收集了大量结构错误百出的草图，再将这些'错误设计'渲染成逼真的自行车图像。项目揭示了人们虽天天见到自行车，却从未真正理解其结构，也展示了错误驱动的创意如何催生新颖的设计。
为什么经久不衰：它用一个简单实验揭示'看过不等于理解'的认知盲区，兼具心理学趣味与设计启发性，因此多年反复被翻出。

画不像的根源不是手上功夫，而是从未真正'看懂'过物体的结构。
绘画几乎全是一种视觉技能。握笔调色这类机械技巧几乎微不足道，难的是看清事物本来的样子。自行车是极简单的视觉形态，五秒就能涂鸦出来，但大多数人其实从未真正'看见'过自行车——他们知道它有两个轮子、链条、车座和车把，却从未注意过把这些部件连接起来的形状。

Drawing and painting is almost entirely a visual skill. The mechanical skills of wielding a pencil or mixing paint are almost trivial; the hard part is being able to see what's actually there. A bicycle is an incredibly simple visual form. You can doodle one in about five seconds. They're not rare or unusual objects and they're relatively homogenous. Nonetheless, most people have never actually seen a bicycle. They've looked, but they haven't understood its form, they haven't decomposed it into lines and shapes. They know that it has two wheels, a chain, a saddle and some handlebars, but they've never actually noticed the shapes that join them together. https://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Right-Side-Brain-Definitive/dp/1585429201/
把错误草图渲染成精美图像，本身就是一种错误驱动的创意设计方法。
往下滚动，设计师根据草图中的想法做出了对应的图像，非常美丽、令人着迷。我起初以为他真的把草图造成了实物自行车，后来发现只是电脑渲染。但这展示了'错误'驱动设计的力量，能催生新颖的想法。

If you scroll down, the designer has produced images that match some of the ideas from the sketches. They are beautiful and mesmerizing. At first I thought he had actually built out the physical bicycles from the sketches, but it turns out they are just computer renderings. Nonetheless it shows the power of "mistake" driven design, to generate novel ideas.
实验暴露了大众对自行车结构的普遍无知，作者借此呼吁加强自行车教育。
这个实验测了两件事：绘画能力和对自行车机械结构的了解。常见错误包括脚踏位置、链条运作方式和三角车架等，很多人画技尚可但机械细节全错。我认为社会会受益于更好的自行车教育——它能提高骑行率，进而改善气候、肥胖、交通和心脏健康问题，还能提升骑行安全。可以在高中开设类似驾驶教育的选修课。

There seems to be two things tested in this exercise. Technical drawing capabilities and knowledge of bicycle mechanics. I assume most people that drew bicycles have ridden one, but there are a few basic common mistakes. The location of the pedals (closer to rear wheel, very near to floor), the way the chain operate, and the triangle frame are some examples. I did not notice anyone drawing details around the gear mechanisms nor the breaks. Many people demonstrated acceptable drawing technique while getting mechanical details of the bicycle incorrect. I think this exercise highlights a great amount of ignorance around bicycles. I purpose society would benefit from better bicycle education. Better bicycle education might encourage bicycle adoption (needs testing to verify), and bicycle ridership improves climate change, obesity, traffic, and heart disease. In addition to increased adoption, bicycle education would improve bicycle safety. Bicycle education as a semester long optional course in high school is a great reach goal. It could mirror driver education where teenagers learn traffic rules and laws, and also basic bicycle maintenance. Perhaps with enough active bicycle riding time it could count as a Physical Education credit. A good first step would be more high quality videos and pamphlets on the topic of bicycle education.
与'提笔忘字'类似：认得和能再现是两种不同的记忆能力。
这让我想起'提笔忘字'现象：人们会忘记怎么写汉字/日文汉字，尽管他们认得这些字。
