Exhibited in Working In Progress Show at Royal College of Art REVERSE CULTURAL ENGINEERING The project will start with you analyzing your chosen thing. Through rigorous research we would like you to get into your system. Think about the nature of it, what it does? What are its values? Why does it exist? What is its history and context? Think macro and micro. Once analyzed, you should know everything there is to know about it. We will ask you to present your research to Platform 13. How might you do this? Slide presentation? Diagram? Site visit? Video? Performance? What ever suits best to communicate your chosen analysis and deconstruction. Once you have analyzed and deconstructed your chosen subject, you will start to rebuild it. Here you will think about why it needs rebuilding and develop a specific point of view. These will inform your conditions. Your conditions could be real or speculative, but will be relative to the research and analysis you have produced. Your final outcome, ready for the interim show in December might be a public or private intervention, an installation, a reworking of an existing product/object, the proposal for a new system. Think how best your project will be communicated within the context of the show.
Invited by Jurys of Design My Youngsters DMY Berlin is a contemporary design platform founded in 2003. It developed from a visionary nucleus of leading creative thinkers from the Berlin design scene, whose expertise lay in the recognition and transformation of current as well as coming trends in culture and design. The objective from the beginning until today is to bring together the powerful potential of contemporary design; to give it a space and setting and to expose it to a wide array of audience. At the same time the industry and economy are given the opportunity to get in contact with innovative developers and designers and therefore make use of the developed synergies.
Exhibited in London Designers Block 2008 Since 1998 we have been pioneering the approach of working with building owners to effectively utilise transitional architectural spaces. We believe this approach provides the best possible platform for the presentation and communication of progressive design and new ideas. From launching the Truman Brewery as a major design destination with the first designersblock show we have gone on to use St Pancras Station, the Tea Building and the Nicholls & Clarke Buildings in Shoreditch and in 2008 No1 The Piazza Covent Garden. Designersblock events launch buildings, landmark areas, and by introducing new audiences to new places act as catalysts for urban revitalisation. Our shows take place in accessible, central locations at the same time as established and emerging design trade events such as 100% Design London and Tokyo, Milan Salone Del Mobile and the London Design Festival. For every event we develop a multilayered communication strategy with local partners and we communicate regularly with our international design industry database of over 15,000 subscribers including over 2000 journalists. Designersblock shows are joined up events for all sectors of the industry. We bring together the diverse out-put of designers from different backgrounds and levels of experience, from Students and graduates to established design companies. We attract a dedicated and active audience of architects and design professionals, journalists, retailers and manufacturers, cultural and educational institutions, trend forecasters, opinion formers, students and public. The results are exhibitions regarded as being the most exciting, innovative and memorable design events in the world of their kind, vehicles for high quality content, dialogue and collaboration.
