I am not an expert on art though I do have a fascination with it. The majority of my knowledge is rooted in its history, and as I do not have a place to put the pieces I admire, I had little experience attending a show of current (living) artists.
My curiosity brought me to the Armory Art Show at Pier 92 and 94 on the west side of New York this weekend. For an art fair, it was surprisingly structured. There were aisles, informal booths, and it looked much more formal than I had imagined. I wanted gritty, arty, struggling but alas even art is a business it seems.

Tracing its fifty year history through video interviews and delightfully kitschy takes on office design through the ages, Contract magazine paused to celebrate the interiors industry with some 800 people who attended the Interiors Awards in New York City on January 29. It was early morning breakfast event that highlighted the best interior projects in a variety of sectors like corporate, healthcare and education design.

Call us superstitious but we think that a great start to 2010 is a sign of fantastic things to come. Yes, there is optimism in the air.
And we hope we didn't just jinx it.
After a very merry holiday break, DMD Insight PR team has reunited (some traveled near, others far) and hit the ground running in the New Year. We’re thrilled by the pick up our clients received in 2009, and have entered 2010 with new ideas and excitement to ensure that momentum continues.

Interior Design magazine hosted the selection of new products and projects on Dec. 3.
While the crowd was still excited about the Hall of Fame dinner from the night before, hundreds packed the theatre in the Guggenheim to celebrate the best new products and projects of 2009. The competition was stiff, too.

The design industry came out in full force for the Interior Design’s Hall of Fame event at the Waldorf Astoria last night, Dec. 2. Nearly 1,200 joined in the celebration—cocktail parties, dinner and even some dancing.
As a first timer, it was exciting to see a room filled with some of the most glamorous in interior design. The Waldorf Astoria was all decked out in its holiday gear as well.
Inductees Tony Chi, tonychi and associates; Vladimir Kagan, The Vladimir Kagan Design Group; Nick Luzietti, VOA Associates; Leo Marmol & Ron Radziner, Marmol Radziner + Associates took their time at the podium and thanked their staff, families and took a few extra minutes to show us some personality.
Nick Luzietti, a crowd favorite, even managed to change costumes during his acceptance speech.
For the first time, a firm was inducted as Gensler was presented with a 25th Anniversary Special Award.

Check back tomorrow for a report from Interior Design’s Best of Year Awards tonight!

Growth. It was the buzzword at last week’s Greenbuild and as someone who attends multiple A+D events a year, it’s the first time that I’ve heard it associated with a tradeshow in 2009.
Perhaps it is the niche market, federal money, or relevance of sustainable design but Greenbuild’s numbers were up this year. The conference, which is less than a decade old, celebrated a much-quoted 30,000 visitors.

As an editor, I always wondered how PR people worked. There are tons of crude names for PR, but ‘PR person’ was my generic catchall for someone who stood between me and the photo that I needed to go to press.
My exposure to PR came as editor of
boutique DESIGN, a hospitality interior design magazine that I launched for Boutique Media Group in 2005.
As of last week, I am now working on the PR side here at DMD Insight in New York. And I’m learning that, as with most things, there’s a lot more to it than it seems.

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.

The
USGBC's
LEED green building rating system has been embraced as the golden-child of architectural mega-firms and corporate real estate developers, alike. But has this dummed-down approach to green design done more harm than good?

DMD set out on the first of our summer outings yesterday. We took a tour of the architecture and design galleries at MoMA lead by Christian Larsen, curatorial assistant. Recharged, we are now making a once a month outing as a team over the summer. More on the power of escape, what we saw (and heard) after the jump.

Hospitality Design Expo happens every year in Las Vegas. This year, though, it has been placed on the same week as American Institute Of Architects in Boston, and the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in NYC. So our team has been in full-blown trade show mode, not sipping, but gulping down design. Here is what the media is saying so far, a round-up, round-up if you will allow me.

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

I did not attend Interaction 08 conference, but luckily they posted all the videos. I've been enjoying watching these on planes and trains, and discovered that boring users may inspire action, pacing in storytelling can create engagement, and that users don't want to click. But you have to click here if you want to see my takeaways and the videos.

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....

Cultural institutions are increasingly turning to architectural talent to define their organization. Seeking to make a footprint that extends beyond the building to the brands local, national and international stature, cultural institutions go through an extensive architectural selection processes. Further, these organizations must go through extesnive development planning and--upon opening the doors to their new home--large public relations, advertising and online communications campaigns.....
