 HK to Hold Competition to Restore Bruce Lee's HomeThe Hong Kong government will hold a design competition to restore a former home of late martial arts legend Bruce Lee that has fallen into disrepute.The project involves the restoration of Lee's former house in the Kowloon Tong district of Hong Kong plus the possibility of building an adjacent cinema and library, the South China Morning Post said. The decision to hold an open competition came late Friday after a meeting between the owner and Hong Kong's commerce and economic development secretary. Both agreed that the best design would be used as the blueprint for restoring the property, the government said. "The competition would allow the incorporation of suitable design elements to maximize the use of space when restoring the property to its original appearance," a government spokesman said in a statement that did not elaborate on the timeframe or what the winner would get. more www.msn...

 Cityscapers: Cardiff Chimera 2020Cityscapers: Cardiff Chimera2020 will be the unique vision of over seventy artists, designers, architects, urban planners and filmmakers as they come together to investigate and respond to the relationships and future inhabitation of Cardiff, and it's neighbourhoods as a model for small waterfront cities in the year 2020.The participating students will create solutions which are specific to the city but of international relevance deriving new propositions for Cardiff's future. Using their own approaches to professional practice, personal histories and unique experiences shaped by their own cities the participants from around the world including Wales, Australia, China, India, Japan and Singapore will work together as part of an intensive two-week studio in Cardiff. The studio will look firmly towards the future asking how we will tackle universal issues of global warming, population growth, natural disaster and changing urban economies when designing neighbourhoods of the future and how these issues might specifically be addressed in the city of Cardiff in 2020 and beyond. During the studio participants will research Cardiff and meet with a wide range of local organisations, artists, architects and residents to inform their work. event (ended) current design events more Cityscapers: Cardiff Chimera 2020 design directory Multidisciplinary Design Events added by Levent OZLER |
 MET Studio Designs the Manchester United ExperienceBritish experiential design consultancy MET Studio has completed the design of an exciting, new, immersive exhibition and experience for the world's most famous football club, Manchester United.The Manchester United Experience is a £1.5m, 1000 sq m indoor attraction, located within the Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel in Macau - a SAR (special administrative region) and former Portuguese colony in south-east China. It is the first ever visitor attraction featuring the club to be opened outside of Manchester United's Old Trafford heartland (and Asia's only interactive football experience) and has been created to appeal to both fans and a lay audience alike. "Our ambition in designing the space," commented MET Studio's Alexander McCuaig, head of graphics and AV on the project, "was to create the most exciting and world-class football experience outside of actually watching the beautiful game live." With the company's long experience in masterplanning major visitor attractions and in-depth knowledge of Far Eastern markets, MET Studio was ideally placed to help develop the look and feel of the scheme, jointly with the client, from the earliest stages. Visitors are taken through the highly interactive experience on a route, which covers everything from the earliest beginnings of the club to a real sense of what it means to support, play for and manage the world-class club of today. more MET Studio Designs the Manchester United Experience design directory MET Studio > Multidisciplinary Design Companies added by Levent OZLER |
 Turning Green: A Guide to Becoming a Green Design FirmReleased in 2004, Turning Green: A Guide to Becoming a Green Design Firm was developed to assist interiors designers who want to integrate sustainable design principles into their firms' business principles and practices.The guide encapsulates the knowledge and insights of the 13 designers and team members at Associates III, a residential and hospitality interior design firm in Denver, Colorado, who decided about five years ago that sustainability needed to be not just a part of their design practice but a guiding philosophy underlying their approach to every design project they undertook. Since there were no books at that time to guide them on how to go "green," they set about collecting as much information as they could and created a green manual for their firm. more www.asi...
