Book excerpt: Konstantin Grcic ist einer der wichtigsten Designer unserer Zeit. Seine Entwürfe verbinden industrielle Ästhetik mit experimentellen, künstlerischen Elementen, sie sind ernsthaft und funktional, sperrig und teilweise irritierend. Manche von Grcics Designs, etwa der »Chair_One± (2004) oder die Leuchte »Mayday± (1999), gelten bereits heute als Designklassiker. Mit »Konstantin Grcic – Panorama± präsentiert das Vitra Design Museum die bislang größte Einzelausstellung zu Grcic und seinem Werk. Eigens für die Ausstellung hat Grcic mehrere raumgreifende Installationen entwickelt, die seine persönlichen Visionen für das Leben von morgen darlegen: ein Wohninterieur, ein Designatelier und einen Stadtraum. Sie zeigen fiktive Szenarien, konfrontieren den Betrachter mit den Inspirationen, Herausforderungen und Fragen des Designers und stellen Grcics Entwürfe in einen größeren gesell-schaftlichen Zusammenhang. Höhepunkt dieser Inszenierungen ist ein 30 Meter langes Panoramabild, das eine Architekturlandschaft der Zukunft zeigt.0Ein vierter Ausstellungsbereich richtet einen konzentrierten Blick auf die tägliche Arbeit von Konstantin Grcic. Hier werden viele seiner Produkte, aber auch Prototypen, Zeichnungen und Hintergrundinformationen gezeigt, ergänzt um Fundstücke, Alltagsgegenstände und Werke anderer Gestalter, die Grcic inspiriert haben – von einer alten Teekanne und einem frühen Apple-Computer bis hin zu Werken von Marcel Duchamp, Gerrit Rietveld oder Enzo Mari. Mit dem Wechsel der Perspektiven zwischen dem großen und dem kleinen Zusammenhang zeigt die Ausstellung, dass Design für Grcic nicht nur Problemlösung ist, sondern ein assoziativer Umgang mit Bildern, Zufällen, Brüchen und Entdeckungen.0Exhibition: Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein, Germany (22.3.-14.9.2014) / Z33, Hasselt, Belgium (1.2.-24.5.2015).

Book excerpt: We have entered a post-post-studio age, and find ourselves with a new studio model: the transdisciplinary. Artists and designers are now defined not by their discipline but by the fluidity with which their practices move between the fields of architecture, art, and design. This volume delves into four pioneering transdisciplinary studios--Jorge Pardo Sculpture, Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design, Studio Olafur Eliasson, and Åbäke--by observing and interviewing the practitioners and their assistants. A further series of interviews with curators, critics, anthropologists, designers, and artists serves to contextualize the transdisciplinary model now at the fore of creative practice. Including interviews with Jorge Pardo, Konstantin Grcic, Olafur Eliasson, and Åbäke; and Vito Acconci, Gui Bonsiepe, James Clifford, Dexter Sinister, Martino Gamper, Ryan Gander, Caroline Jones, Ronald Jones, Maria Lind, Alessandro Mendini, Rick Poynor, and Andrea Zittel. The Transdisciplinary Studio is the first volume of a series of books by Alex Coles on the expanded studio model and contemporary praxis.

Book Synopsis The Auto-Ethnographic Turn in Design by : Louise Schouwenberg
Download or read book The Auto-Ethnographic Turn in Design written by Louise Schouwenberg and published by . This book was released on 2022-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Auto-Ethnographic Turn in Design' is emerging from a growing recognition of design?s capacity to make sense of one?s world while at the same time to express and convey this personal insight or knowledge through rich, layered, and ultimately meaningful processes or objects. Auto-ethnographic design seeks to come to terms with one?s context and self?as well as the materiality that mediates these two. In doing so, it offers a vision of design that is free of commercial commissions, assumed users? needs, or well-intentioned do-goodism, and reveals a sincerity and genuine commitment in the process of design that is too often missing.00The book is divided between ?Ideas and Dialogues? (reflections and conversations between critics, theorists, educators, and practitioners), which ground conceptions of auto-ethnography and the ?self? and explore how experiences can be relevant and meaningful starting points for design and visual art; and ?Projects and Practices,? which embody auto-ethnographic qualities?whereby design objects and practices are embedded with personal sentiments, experiences, desires, fears, and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BIO 50 breaks with the traditional system of awards, choosing instead to award collaboration, its process and outcomes. Recognizing the idea that design is a discipline that permeates all layers of contemporary life, BIO launches an unprecedented effort to engage designers and agents from Slovenia and abroad in a collaborative approach that will address themes that affect everyday life. Guided by a group of mentors from various disciplines, eleven teams have tackled the topics Affordable Living Knowing Food Public Water, Public Space Walking the City Hidden Crafts The Fashion System Hacking Households Nanotourism Engine Blocks Observing Space Designing Life Each team has created specific projects that are developed and implemented during the Biennial. Drawing from the complex network generated around BIO 50, "Designing Everyday Life" serves as a reader, compiling written and visual material on the many layers that compose the biennial. Notes, essays, and interviews, along with sketches, photographs, and diagrams, are aggregating the manifold dimensions of each team s collaborative work process, and illuminate strategies and roles for design in a contemporary world. An opening section introduces the topics discussed throughout the different components of the publication, arguing new priorities for the design discipline in contemporary times. Essays and visual material come together to articulate new roles for a discipline that has changed beyond the universe of mass-made products and solutions, and instead inhabits a fundamentally new universe in a series of small-scale, customized scenarios. Exploring the changing definition of design will illuminate its possible future. The concluding chapter reflects on the history and legacy of the world s oldest design event. It uses the history of BIO as an opportunity to explore changes in the last fifty years within the design discipline, western society and everyday life. With contributions by Slovenian and international experts, a series of reflections on BIO as a meeting point for design between East and West in Central Europe allow to extrapolate conclusions about European design in the immediate future. "Designing Everyday Life" also features interviews with Alice Rawsthorn, design critic at New York Times, Konstantin Grcic, industrial designer, and Sasa Machtig, industrial designer. MAO co-produces "Designing Everyday Life" with "Z33," a space for contemporary art based in the Belgian city of Hasselt. Since 2002, Z33 has been realizing projects and exhibitions that encourage visitors to see everyday things in a new way. http: //www.z33.be/en/z33/mission "
