DESIGNING TO CHANGE THE WORLD!
November 10th, 2009Whether we realize it or not, we live in a designed world. The question is: will this be a design for destruction or for a sustainable new world that we can safely hand down to our children and our children’s children?
Our idea of design goes beyond the way things look to the way things work. To paraphrase Marcel Duchamp, we set out to liberate design from “the tyranny of the eye.” Surveying the world we found hundreds of examples where visionaries were using design to effect positive change in the world. We called this pattern Massive Change.
MEMORIZE THE PERIODIC TABLE WHILE FILLING YOUR BELLY WITH FOOD.
November 3rd, 2009When you’re hungry you want nothing else but something to eat right in front of you to satisfy your appetite, right? Imagine someone in that state asks you to do some work like reading or writing. Bad though! The Periodic Picnic Table might coerce you to do so but only if you’re suffering from chemistry mania. Going through the periodic table is not so good idea when you’re damn hungry but oh so cool when you just wanna kill time and recall your school days. A nice piece of home furniture, the Periodic Picnic Table of Elements wherever placed (indoors or outdoors) does the miracle of grabbing each one’s attention.
