Here are some rough designs created for a new project at Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH) - University of Luxembourg. The ideation part is in progress, it's just one of the design styles we've already tried. #ConceptArt #MoviePoster #ContemporaryHistory

🔬 At the Gaudí Institute of Design and Innovation (#GIDI), we're driven by a mission to inspire and educate the next generation of creators. By applying Gaudí's timeless principles to contemporary challenges in design and innovation, we push the boundaries of possibility. We advance research inspired by his work, integrating his principles with modern technology and sustainability practices, merging traditional techniques with futuristic visions. We are proud to honor these revolutionary ideas while addressing contemporary challenges. Want to know more? Check out our official site and current projects! #GaudíWorldFoundation 🌍

It is rare to see such a wide definition of service design, that spans the Industrial Revolution, and talks of the complexity of the public sector. Describing the narrowness of the Neo-liberal service agenda and digital, and the caution that is needed. This definition of service design, with its integration with systems thinking, management, behaviour and social applications, moves service design into the realm where it should be. It is so important to widen our definition to talk about examples like Buurtzorg in The Netherlands.

This thesis is concerned with how two main genres of public art: traditional and ‘new genre public art’ evolved in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong between 1990 and 2012 in response to political, economic, spatial, social and cultural changes. Since 1990, Chinese public art has focused on traditional forms of public art and the relationship of public art to architecture and urban planning. Unique forms of public art and architecture, I argue, have also been emerging amidst a dynamic of unprecedented rapid urbanisation and the country’s significant engagement with the global community.

The first talk from the Service Futures Lab public event series this year is now online Service Design – Historical frames and contemporary issues. Professor Dr. Alison Prendiville Starting with a historical lens this lecture will explore the nature and emergence of service to contextualise key developments that have come to define it. Different perspectives on service design will then be presented to explore its role and contribution to contemporary challenges. This first talk from the Service Future Lab at London College of Communication, University of the Arts London (recorded: 1st February 2023) opens by setting the scene for understanding the historical origins of service and different ways of designing for service. Having worked in service design research and practice over the last two decades, I have observed its emergence and rapid adoption that started tentatively with its early focus on improving user experiences, to today’s more comprehensive engagement with organizational transformation, and societal challenges. In parallel, I have always had an interest in design history and culture and how people are connected, and the relationships formed through design. Starting with the infrastructural nature of services during the industrial revolution, and their role in enabling the transportation of people and goods as a key component of the capitalist system, the session presents general principles that come to define today’s global systems and raises questions on the ethical role and potential for service designers in the current climate. What follows is reflections from projects with local government, and transdisciplinary projects in human and animal health in India, to highlight some of the methods that make service design so well suited to tackling complex systemic challenges. In parallel consideration will be given to different ways of conceptualizing designing for service and how this may assist our understanding in configuring relationships between humans, more than human, technologies, institutions, and place. This lecture is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in service design research and practice and more generally those students or professionals curious to better understand the opportunities for design to address societal challenges.

BEHIND THE FORMS X SPATIAL METAPHOR North Gallery @northgalleryscut, Guangzhou, China 09/18 - 10/20 2023 Part I | SPATIAL In the specific context of our current era, the rapid developments of the economy, society, and culture in the external world, along with the constraints and norms that often occur unconsciously within, seem to burden architecture with excessive material meanings. Consequently, in the realm of its spiritual significance, the non-material constructs concerning emotional projections, memory associations, imaginative thinking, and even cultural identities, are then habitually reduced to technical issues, placed and exposed within a more utilitarian and extreme material context, attempted to be integrated into the discussion within a framework that ignores the other characteristic of the discipline. #JXYStudio #culture #art #architecture #exhibition https://lnkd.in/gd77jcdE

What can building materials and renovation processes tell us about museums? Lena Stina Andersson's new doctoral thesis studies architectural and material change processes at national museums in northern Europe. It also contributes with a historical study of the museum as a renovation and construction site and the relations between them. The thesis is structured around three case studies: Museuminsel/Pergamon Museum in #Berlin, Nationalmuseum, Sweden, #Stockholm, and Victoria and Albert Museum in #London. Each architectural and material renovation project brings together actors from the construction industry, museum institutions, and global actors. By exploring museum practices, international agreements, commodity chains, local development plans and ambitions, and hidden labour and workers, the research aims to clarify the reasons why national museum buildings are changing - processes that take place over decades and even centuries and are motivated by a range of global, national and local ambitions. Supervisors are Jennifer Mack and Anders Bergström, assistant professors in Architecture at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

It's more about to dive deep from humanity nowadays to the historical part of our society to see what's way beyond our ways how to proceed an use design at it's best. Braun Household, De'Longhi Group, Politecnico di Milano, TU Delft | Industrial Design Engineering

BEHIND THE FORMS X SPATIAL METAPHOR North Gallery @northgalleryscut , Guangzhou, China 09/18 - 10/20 2023 Part II | METAPHOR In relation to the discussion of this part, the exhibition presents a variety of investigative explorations that attempt to elucidate the duality of architecture from different angles, covering spatial creative expressions emphasizing abstractions and generalizations of painting, reconstructions of spatial typologies starting from theatrical logics, reinterpretations of spatial experience modes based on traditional view of nature, and spatial morphological representations of transformations and reconfigurations relating to urban scale. These open examples particularly focus on the broader and more diverse spatiality within architecture, taking architecture as the basis while not limited to it, generating forms while not constraining them, which attempt to propose possible methods, modes, and perspectives of thinking. #JXYStudio #culture #art #architecture #exhibition #spectacle https://lnkd.in/gVZnXHUY

Starting today, in the next three days I will be sharing three short videos that are premiering right now. In these videos, I talk about beauty, architecture, art, transcendence, and more. They are part of a large project called "Beauty at Work" led by Associate Professor Brandon Vaidyanathan at the Catholic University of America and supported by the Templeton Religion Trust. In this first video, "Why Beauty Matters in Architecture," I discuss the role of beauty in architecture today, why it is important, and why it is so often overlooked in modern culture. I hope you enjoy it. https://lnkd.in/eAbSktrJ
