Provoking Rituals
Rituals create a framework and provide foothold and orientation. Both the interpretation of existing rituals and the creation of new ones may be the intention pursued by an object of design.
Lucerne Poster Scene
As long as posters obtain recognition and find an echo not only with culturally interested people, but also with the poster-appreciating public, they are formative for the perception of a venue, a designer, the discipline or a city as the example of Lucerne shows.
Keep on Brushing
Brushing one’s teeth is a life-long task after all. At least twice a day, for three minutes – or so the experts recommend. How can design enrich this task in both aesthetic and functional terms?
Research
Dilemma-driven Design
Dilemma-driven design is an approach that considers emotional dilemmas of people as fruitful starting points for user-centred design activities. This approach has been used to address a wide range of societal challenges.
Fairs
World IA Day
Wherever digital applications intervene in our everyday working and learning processes, users are faced with information architecture. Accordingly, the term is closely linked with user experience. Information architecture links the lateral thinking of designers with logical approaches by computer scientists.
Agenda
Exhibitions, fairs, festivals, events, conferences, symposia, and competitions
Count Less Steps
Quantified Health
Wherever data collection and evaluation become an end in themselves and networking and presentation of findings besides unlimited self-optimisation are also considered a status symbol, the use deviates from the conceptual idea of the product.
Go for Gold
Geräte für den Spitzensport
Peak performance is achieved when the athlete can be sure of having the best and perfectly adapted equipment, which also embodies speed and efficiency with its design.
Raumschrift
Translating Movement
Choreography has for centuries been identified with processes of translation between movement and writing, and then, from the end of the 19th century, between movement and visual media.
Material
Nachhaltig Wegwerfen
Challenging Sustainability
Are self-denial and product longevity the only solutions when it comes to a more sustainable consumption? Or can disposability be more sensible and sustainable than longevity?
Transforming Design
Together with Munich-based design agency Hyve, Siemens has visually reworked its transformer portfolio.
Carte Blanche
Tor Brandt
Kevin Lucbert
Training
Two pages for free design, two creatives whom we have invited to fill them.
Discourse
Falling Stars
The ingenious author designer has evolved into a topos, yes, even into a marketing mythos, which the media, enterprises, the cultural sector, but also the design world still cultivate. The new perception of the role design plays is however hardly compatible here.
African Design Centre
Modell Bauhaus
Innovation. Thinking outside the box. Building outside the box. That is the approach of the African Design Centre, which has set itself the goal of becoming nothing less than Africa’s very own Bauhaus.

GGK was founded in 1959 in a half-timber house near Basle Minster, expanding over the following decades to São Paulo and New York’s Broadway. Its staff included two Documenta contributors, a future bestseller writer, and four honorary members of the Art Directors Club.
Media
New books, DVDs, magazines, websites, and apps
Radical Technologies
No doubt today’s innovations bestow pioneering benefits upon us, just as, once upon a time, the invention of the wheel, the microscope or the thermometer did. But at what price? Adam Greenfield’s argument takes its rise from this point.
