News: Dutch Design Week has announced its new director as business manager and consultant Martijn Paulen.
He will be tasked with providing financial stability to the annual Eindhoven event after an audit last year revealed that Capital D, its publicly funded parent body, had racked up losses of €945,000.
Paulen, who is director of innovation and learning strategies at TiasNimbas Business School, an institution with campuses across the Netherlands, takes over from interim director Bas Braad, who was appointed in December to replace creative director Hans Robertus and business director Robert-Jan Marringa.
Capital D has now obtained additional financing to cover last year’s deficit and fund this year’s Dutch Design Week and the Dutch Design Awards, the Eindhoven organisation announced. The new funding will also enable Capital D to continue running two European schemes – digital media project SmartCulture and design initiative PROUD.
Eindhoven’s design community has undergone a turbulent year, with Design Academy Eindhoven last month appointing graphic designer Thomas Widdershoven as its new creative director after a period of turmoil that saw the departure of school’s chair Anne Mieke Eggenkamp and the resignation and subsequent return of the heads of the three masters courses.
Our coverage of last October’s Dutch Design Week included a furniture production line set up in an old factory and a lamp that can cast coloured shadows – see all news from Dutch Design Week 2012.

News: Frank Gehry has launched his studio’s paperless system for sharing and collaborating on drawings as a scaled-up product for the architecture industry.
The GTeam software by Gehry’s technology development and consulting company Gehry Technologies is now integrated with cloud-based storage service Box, enabling Box’s customers in the fields of architecture, construction and engineering to easily access and manage blueprints, CAD files and contracts.
The paperless system was refined by Gehry’s studio during the construction of New York by Gehry (pictured), the 265-metre-high apartment building completed in 2011, where sharing digital files enabled the architects and engineers working on the tower to significantly reduce the number of expensive alterations required during construction.
Box has now scaled up the software to bring it to the wider industry and allow others to benefit in the same way, according to company CEO Aaron Levie.
“I think when you can bring these tools to the masses, it really opens up innovation in an incredible way,” he said.
The software was developed by Gehry’s studio over the decades to eliminate the need for paper.
“My dream is to do buildings paperless. And it can be done,” Gehry told technology magazine Wired. “I discovered that, using the computer, we had more information, which kept us in control and allowed us to protect the owner from a lot of waste in the process.”
GTeam can incorporate files from other design software, such as Rhino and AutoCAD, and is already being used in the offices of Zaha Hadid and SOM, according to Gehry.
In a similar mood of collaboration, Dutch firm UNStudio this week announced it will relaunch in June as an “open-source architecture studio” inspired by technology start-ups, using an online platform to encourage the exchange of ideas between its own architects and those outside the company.
Gehry was recently asked to “tone down” his plans for Facebook’s new Silicon Valley campus, while earlier this year a Utah congressman launched an attempt to scrap the architect’s proposed Washington D.C. memorial for former president Dwight D. Eisenhower – see all architecture by Frank Gehry.

News: the internet has become a more vital resource in the home than water, heating or television, according to a survey of Londoners.
Asked which household utility they couldn’t live without, 38% of respondents said they’d be most stressed out by not having internet access, while 32% said having no water would be their main priority and 18% said a lack of heating.
No television was a top concern for just 8% of people, while 4% said they’d be most annoyed by a lack of washing machine.
A similar survey carried out in 2012 found 17% said they couldn’t live without an internet connection, but a year later that figure has risen to 27%.
Asked how long they thought they could manage without getting online, 27% of people said they didn’t think they’d cope at all, 25% said they could last a day and 29% said they’d manage just a few days. Only 4% of people said they didn’t need the internet at all.
Respondents also revealed that losing the internet connection at work is more stressful than being late, experiencing a bad journey to the office or dealing with a computer crash.
The street survey of 1000 commuters was commissioned by Infosecurity Europe, organisers of an annual information security event in London, which this year takes places from 23 to 25 April at Earls Court.
Last month a study of people’s bathroom habits found that the under-30s are using their time on the toilet to check social media – see all news about technology and find out more about the latest wearable technology that allows people to stay connected all the time, such as the Google Glass voice-controlled headset and the Pebble smartwatch.
