Sound Of Sirens

Starting new conversations on design and innovation.

Doors of Perception is a design blog that not infrequently picks out the issue of design and sustainabilty.

I.e. read this article about ‘Ecocide’!

‘[...] A good example of ecocidal policy in action was an announcement last week concerning the Design Centre of the North (DCN). The regional development agency, One North East, has published a public call for tenders for organisations to run the new institution.

The word sustainability does not appear, once, in the accompanying text - despite the fact that 80 percent of the environmental impact of products and buildings is determined at the design stage. [...]‘

‘[...] Professional design bodies and old-paradigm design schools will persist in dragging their feet - but they are baggage we can afford to leave behind.’

Word!

It’s all about bookmarking these days… now the internet has FFFFound!, which is into pictures only.

It’s a from-designers-for-designers project and as you can see the collection’s average quality is quite well. At least one reason to join is the terrfic Logo (to the left), isn’t it?

FFFFound!’s unpretentious (though neat) interface is build in japanese and english. Unfortunately the software is still a closed public beta, but you can contact us for invitation codes!
