 Ron Arad: No DisciplineThe Museum of Modern Art presents Ron Arad: No Discipline, the first major U.S. retrospective of Arad's work.Among the most influential designers of our time, Arad stands out for his daredevil curiosity about form, structure, technology, and materials and for the versatile nature of his work, which spans industrial design, hand-crafted studio pieces, sculpture, architecture, and mixed media installations. Arad's relentless experimentation with the use of materials of all kinds-from steel, aluminum, and bronze, to thermoplastics, crystals, fiberoptics, and LEDs-as well as his radical reinterpretation of some of the most established archetypes in furniture-from armchairs and rocking chairs to desk lamps and chandeliers-has put him at the forefront of contemporary design. The exhibition will feature approximately 140 works, including design objects, architectural models, and videos. Most of the objects featured in the exhibition will be displayed in a monumental structure specially designed by Arad and developed with Michael Castellana from Ron Arad Associates, and loaned to this exhibition. event (ended) current design events more Ron Arad: No Discipline design directory Ron Arad > Industrial Design Studios design database Ron Arad added by Levent OZLER |

 Design Activism: Beautiful Strangeness for a Sustainable WorldDesign academics and practitioners are facing a multiplicity of challenges in a dynamic, complex, world moving faster than the current design paradigm, which is largely tied to the values and imperatives of commercial enterprise.Current education and practice need to evolve to ensure that the discipline of design meets sustainability drivers and equips students, teachers and professionals for the near-future. Design Activism reveals the power of design for positive social and environmental change, design with a central activist role in the sustainability challenge. Design activists seek to fundamentally challenge how, where and when design can catalyse positive impacts to address sustainability. This book collates, synthesises and analyses design activist approaches, processes, methods, tools and inspirational examples/outcomes from disparate sources and, in doing so, creates a specific canon of work to illuminate contemporary design discourse. Design Activism provides a rigorous exploration of design activism that will re-vitalise the design debate and provide a solid platform for students, teachers, design professionals and other disciplines interested in transformative (design) activism. more Design Activism: Beautiful Strangeness for a Sustainable World design directory Design Activism: Beautiful Strangeness for a Sustainable World > Sustainable Design Books added by Levent OZLER |
