World Changing Response #3
Collaborative Design Pg. 123
Two things about this article stuck out to me. One, a 3-D design program that automatically tells you the environmental impact of your design choices would be quite nice and very visual (which is good, I, and most designers are, very visual people), but I’ll believe that when I see it. How in the world would you implement this? What would it base its impact analysis on? Would you need to inform it of the context you are designing in? It’s an interesting question, and I would certainly try and give their solution a chance, but something has to be said for a holistic approach to sustainable design on a personal, designer-to-designer level.
The other part that stuck out to me was the portable light project. It stuck in my head not really for its novel use of technology, but that University of Michigan students helped Kennedy design prototypes. Dang it, what happened to projects like this at Michigan Art & Design! It’s sad really this total lack of real world application of art and design that is taught here. You know what concept before construction spells? Starving artist.
