Mariscal - Drawing Life
1 July - 1 November 2009

The Design Museum presents the first UK retrospective of Spanish designer and artist Javier Mariscal. Regarded as one the world’s most innovative and original designers of our time, Mariscal’s rich and diverse body of work spans kooky cartoon characters to stunning interiors, from furniture to graphic design and corporate identities.
The exhibition and graphics will be designed by Mariscal, promising an immersive experience for the visitor into the world and mind of Mariscal. The exhibition space will be a fully illustrated environment, rich with orchestrated scenarios and installations, each telling the story of Mariscal's pivotal projects, designs and the drawings that shaped them. Sketches, designs, films and photographs will be on display alongside furniture and textiles. Mariscal will also design and paint an elaborate mural for the exterior of the Design Museum showcasing his unique vision and signature design style.

Potter's field

I visited this site for our park life presentation. It is not a huge park but useful green open space along the riverside. Extensively landscaped in 2007, the park you see today has been transformed into a beautiful, world class facility, which hundreds of people pass through and enjoy on a daily basis. Landscape architects Gross Max created a place for public events and private contemplation; a park which reflects upon its distinctive local history, and provides a safe, clean and restful space within the bustle of the city.

Heather and Ivan Morison: I am so sorry. Goodbye

It was Barbican Waterside. Available enter inside and a serving some drink.

I am so sorry. Goodbye explores the relationship between the built environment and nature. The double-domed pavilion takes its inspiration from the structures built by utopian communities in the west coast of the US in the 1970s. Designed as a tea house, I am so sorry. Goodbye provides a place of rest and shelter, where one is served hibiscus tea, a beverage popular in various parts of the world and thought to have medicinal properties. A transparent dome at the top of the structure alludes to a spaceship or futuristic aircraft, a vehicle which might transport one away from a time or place of catastrophe.

Radical Nature
Art and Architecture for a Changing Planet 1969–2009

There are so many interesting ideas from nature. Radical Nature draws on ideas that have emerged out of Land Art, environmental activism, experimental architecture and utopianism. The exhibition is designed as one fantastical landscape, with each piece introducing into the gallery space a dramatic portion of nature. Work by pioneering figures such as the architectural collective Ant Farm and visionary architect Richard Buckminster Fuller, artists Joseph Beuys, Agnes Denes, Hans Haacke and Robert Smithson are shown alongside pieces by a younger generation of practitioners including Heather and Ivan Morison, R&Sie(n), Philippe Rahm architects and Simon Starling. Radical Nature also features specially commissioned and restaged historical installations, some of which are located in the outdoor spaces around the Barbican while a satellite project by the architectural collective EXYZT is situated off site.

Teach - in

I visited V&A lecture room for ecological and sustainability literacy in design education by 2012. Speakers included John Thackara, Andrew Simms, Jonthan Crinion, Stephanie Hankey, Richard Hawkins, Ben Gill and Emma Dewberry.
Design education must move quickly to respond to urgent environmental pressures. Climate change is a severe problem that will require a response from all sectors of society. Design education must embrace its unique ability to facilitate change by engaging with the concept of ecological literacy, communicating key concepts of environmental sustainability, and initiating a wide-reaching learning process. This re-focus of priorities within design education will help make design a key player in our collective response to global environmental imperatives.
Ecological literacy is an understanding of ecological systems and an awareness of how society operates within natural imperatives. Informed by an understanding of ecological systems, new concepts and tools can help the design industry become an important player in the transition to a sustainable system. This project is lead by EcoLabs, an ecological literacy initiative in London.
