A Pritzker, a Fan and a Handbag
Posted by Duke Sherman on July 31 at 1:02 PM 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.

- DMD insight BlogFinding Gems at the Armory Art ShowPOSTED BY Rebecca Goldberg ON MARCH 6 AT 12:21 PM
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. .
- DMDxd BlogUnconferencePOSTED BY Jesse Poe ON FEBRUARY 12 AT 7:02 AM
Today’s UnConference was a smash hit. Hosted by DMD and Arne van Oosterom (Owner and Strategic Design Director at DesignThinkers, a strategic design agency based in Amsterdam, founder of WENOVSKI design thinkers network) at Parsons The New School for Design. A collection of 20 great cross-disciplinary thinkers from San Francisco to Finland and in between, met for 4 hours to discus solutions for urban design. The unconference started as a mummer, quickly raised to a rumble of fantastic ideas and thousands of possible directions for making world of design better. After an hour of this exciting fray of thinking, GK VanPatter (Co-Founder, HUMANTIFIC, CoFounder, at NextDesign Leadership Institute Founding Editor at NextD Journal), stepped in with his own brand of design, making sense of cross-disciplinary innovation. And make sense of it we did! Broken into 3 timed sessions we: discovered the issues we all had burning within us and were addressing in our own ways distilled them all down to the most potent and effectual problem to solve, the problem which when solved would begin to unravel the tensions around other problems and open them up for solving finally coming up with 50 possible solutions to that one issue Amazing day. Amazing minds. Amazing results that got at the heart of not just possible directions for making world of design better, but possibly making the design of our world better through better interactions. Look for more on this Unconference what we learned, what we can share, and what/when the next one will be!.
