I remember the first time I held one in my hands. I was about ten years old, and the photographer at Hershey Park just snapped a picture of my family and handed me the print.

What do you get when you combine a Pritzker, a Fan and a Handbag? It has been called everything from “genius” to “commercialization gone awry” to a “Star Trek –style spacecraft.” Whether you love or hate it, the 7.500 square foot epicenter where architecture, art and fashion collide is landing in Central Park in October.

Journalists write. They don’t design.
With newspapers nationwide suffering from lost advertising, revenue, and market share, how can we imagine a solution that can breathe new life into these failing brands? The start of some of my thinking is of the role designers may have in saving the newspaper. A new breed I am calling the "designalist".

I'm obsessed with cars. As a kid I would memorize everything about them. I think it surprised my family, as my eyesight percluded my chances of driving. Nonetheless, I would sketch new dashboard designs, quiz car dealers on MPG and horsepower, and drive the rest of my family—who honestly didn’t care as much about cars—a bit crazy. So, it is with some childlike glee I can tell you about two new cars, and one concept car that are attempting to finally, truly decrease emissions.

Domus, color is the first thing you notice in their ads.

Pop quiz, hotshot— your PR guru runs around the country with her MacBook Pro, preparing tons of presentations and proposals for important clients. Unfortunately, all of this takes place outside of your in-house Mac network. Worse yet, when she's in the office, she does not plug into the network to back up her documents. What do you do?
WHAT do YOU do?...

A truly fascinating read in this month's
Harvard Design Magazine arguing for architecture to embrace more mass production and step away from custom design. I found the read exhilarating as it embraced some of today's intriguing ideas: rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and Building Information Management (BIM). I actually found the article through
Tree Hugger which gets very excited
about the idea of "printing buildings" which would much better control the use and removal of building products....
