LEAP Dialogues: Career Pathways in Design for Social Innovation Book

 

The new publication from Designmatters, LEAP Dialogues: Career Pathways in Design for Social Innovation, winner of Design Observer and AIGA’s 2015 50 Books | 50 Covers competition in both categories, is now available for purchase from Amazon and Distributed Arts Publisher.

Edited by [DSF list member] Dr. Mariana Amatullo, Bryan Boyer, Liz Danzico and Andrew Shea, LEAP Dialogues captures 84 designers, educators and thought-leaders from across the U.S. discussing career paths for designers at a critical emergent moment: when the recognition of and demand for social innovation design is growing, but the challenges and opportunities concerning designers’ work in the field are not fully realized.

The dialogues, case studies and essays are brought to life by the award-winning graphic identity and dialectic structure, developed by renowned designers Lupi Asensio and Martin Lorenz of TwoPoints.Net.

WikiHouse - Open Source Construction

WikiHouse is an open source construction set. 

It's aim is to allow anyone to design, download, and 'print' CNC-milled houses and components, which can be assembled with minimal formal skill or training.

“Baixe casas e componentes que são criados e compartilhados por uma comunidade aberta de designers pelo mundo afora.”


A partir de um plugin que pode ser baixado no próprio site do projeto, o usuário poderá acessar modelos de casas e suas partes editáveis. Uma vez adaptado o desenho as suas necessidades, poderá “imprimir” sua própria casa através de uma CNC.
