blockquoteI’m describing a way of looking at the world through a fresh lens. Rather than look at the world and think about extraction and consumption, it’s about looking for ways to preserve, steward and restore assets – human and natural ones, or so-called net present assets, that already exist.
pDesigners have an important contribution to make. Not much, any more, as the creators of new products, buildings, and communications. New is an old paradigm./p
pWhat designers can do is cast fresh and respectful eyes on a situation to reveal material and cultural qualities that might not be obvious to those who live them./p
pThis kind of regenerative design re-imagines the built world not as a landscape of frozen objects, but as a complex of interacting, co-dependent ecologies: energy, water, food./p
pNabeel Hamdi points out that “design disturbs that which it touches…we need to give priority to the existing life and intelligence of place. There are vast latent resources in existing situations.”/p
pHamdi, the author of “Small Change” and “Housing without Houses” is working with Habitat for Humanity on a “mind shift” – from “building shelters” to a greater appreciation for existing social and ecological assets./p
pWhat I experience, in muntiple contexts, is the re-emergence of a ethical framework. /blockquote/p

Milan 2010: Brazilian designers Fernando and Humberto Campana have designed a range of furniture for Italian brand Edra, including this storage unit entirely concealed by dangling lengths of raffia. (more…)
 | Over the winter (ironically enough), dress shorts became popularized as the latest evening-appropriate replacement for the mini, and now that summer is looming ahead, we’re bound to see the trend even more frequently among club-goers. One place we haven’t seen them too often, however, is the red carpet. Until now, that is. Gwyneth Paltrow rocked clean white shorts and a matching blazer at the Iron Man 2 world premiere, while Amanda Seyfriend donned a black Viktor & Rolf set at the Tribeca Film Festival (the fact that they’re in contrasting color schemes is just begging for a “who wore it best” duel!). And fashion blogs everywhere are throwing a fit! Are dress shorts chic enough for a Hollywood event, or is the red carpet meant to be a sacred place of style saved only for suits, skirts and dresses? Weigh in below on which actress you think pulled off the look in a premiere-appropriate manner, or if you think shorts are not suited for the carpet at all!
