So this is what being stuck in an elevator is like!

Our office building has this button. Anyone knows what it's for?

Interesting case study in usability and UX.

When I got in this elevator alone I pressed the 3. There was no depression so I realized it wasn’t the button. The button is the silver circle adjacent to it.

I laughed at myself. Then, when I got in with my wife to go back down, she pressed the 1. Looked at it for a moment, then realized she made a mistake. Same as me.

I'm living in for 25+ years now and know about the curved elevator in our town hall for nearly as long.

Still Tom Scott beat me, as he managed to visit it, while I have not…

Is there no set of heuristics, no guidelines, no flowchart that can prevent this kind of interface design?

You've just boarded a lift or elevator that as these buttons (illustrated). What button should you press?

"Place buttons vertically so the buttons for higher floors are higher than the buttons for lower floors."

Elevador is obviously in . But "ascensor" too. The same that in English we can use , along with elevator, in Spanish, you have elevador and ascensor. In the , you can see the distribution of both terms.

Today's Thing of Beauty: exposed wall. 2019. Never meant to be a final surface,this was exposed in preparation for installation at station . It's beautiful. At least to me. Photobyme.

The Four of this :

  • No slap
  • No play
  • Please don’t use theelevator when there is a fire or an earthquak
  • No Chaos Button

We are off to another pop up in Manchester City Centre today.

Having fixed the venue furniture last Sunday, I wonder what people will bring in today?
Electrial stuff probably.

Maker_of_Things,

This confused me last time.
Level 2, and Level 1.
But lift buttons say Level 0 and Level 1!

I want to go to Level 1 but ended up back where I started.

The buttons in the lift for: Door close Door open Key switch Alarm Level 0 Level 1

Uhhhh what? So much to unpack here.

I would DEFINITELY just be hitting all the buttons, like a toddler, and hoping for the best.
