 CCA Leading by Design Fellows ProgramCalifornia College of the Arts announced the May 2010 launch of the Leading by Design Fellows Program, the first executive program of its kind in the United States.It will blend the traditionally separate domains of business, design, and sustainability into a single, integrated approach, by which professionals can proactively shape the future of their companies, even in a world of limited resources. CCA has a 100-year tradition of pioneering programs that bridge the arts and society, and the Leading by Design Fellows Program builds on that legacy. "Unprecedented changes in the world demand a critical shift in business thinking," says CCA Provost Mark Breitenberg. "A dramatically different paradigm is emerging. Success and growth are now measured by increases in values, meaning, and sustainability, not simply profitability. Our goal is to create a dynamic center of ideas and senior leadership by synthesizing design-led innovation, business strategy, and sustainable practices. In the 21st century, institutions must help people and societies reimagine, reinvent, and redesign the way we live to create a more sustainable world." Nathan Shedroff, noted experience strategist and chair of CCA's groundbreaking MBA in Design Strategy, says, "This program will provide an immersive, inspiring, and challenging experience. Our Fellows will be able to think further and faster, with more meaningful and powerful results." more CCA Leading by Design Fellows Program design directory California College of the Arts > Design Education added by Levent OZLER |
 Breathing Bathtub by Li Xi Wins the 3rd Edition of Jump the Gap by RocaRoca announced the winning project of the 3rd edition of the International Contest "Jump the Gap," chosen from 382 project presentations.Breathing Bathtub is an innovative concept that turns bathing into a healthier experience for the users and is significantly more efficient in terms of energy and water consumption. The bathtub is lined with a revolutionary material similar to a sponge. The material molds itself to the shape of the users, guaranteeing maximum comfort and as a consequence uses less than half the water used normally. more Breathing Bathtub by Li Xi Wins the 3rd Edition of Jump the Gap by Roca added by Levent OZLER |
