While preparing a chapter on AI and design research, I came across this very interesting book. #AI #designresearch #bullshit https://www.cambridge.org/core/elements/philosophy-bullshit-and-peer-review/F54B9C195549B08D69311EF385DF3D56

In the lead up to #WorldDesignDay I'm highlighting #Design projects that change the world for the better.

First things First Manifesto (1964)

'Written in 1963 and published in 1964 by Ken Garland along with 20 other designers, photographers and students, the manifesto was a reaction to the staunch society of 1960s Britain and called for a return to a humanist aspect of design. It lashed out against the fast-paced and often trivial productions of mainstream advertising, calling them trivial and time-consuming. It's solution was to focus efforts of design on education and public service tasks that promoted the betterment of society.'

It matters as it gave designers permission to push back againt capitalist and materialism norms and to seek to do deeper important work as part of redefining what it meant to be a designer. Yeah not everyone got onboard, but it further a movement of designers critical of being tools of excesssive capitalist production. The poster also features a nice modernisit typographic design that remains easy to read and engage with

Il y a quelques temps, j'évoquais IKEX et l'atelier de son designer fraîchement installé en plein cœur du centre de Blois.

Jeudi dernier, lors d'un passage à la Bibliothéque, je suis tombé sur une singulière exposition. Celle de l'Agence No-Futur - Tout doit disparaitre. Une agence immobilière particuliére, dystopique et saisissante, qui se propose de vendre et acheter des biens existants ravagés par le chaos et la désolation.

Ce travail, d'agence immobiliére fictive, de Dominique Hermier est fascinant, empreint d'humour, d'ironie et de messages forts.

P.S: J'ai souri en voyant l'Exode Urbain happé par les flammes, comme clin d'oeil personnel.
