“We travelled from Munich to Berlin, crossed the Italian Alps and jumped from the UK to the US – interviewing visionaries, pioneers and designers around the globe by asking: how do they define and shape living spaces? How does architecture interact with nature, with leisure design, with working environments? Which is the most sustainable way in all of this? And what needs will people have?”

Biannual Magazine, 208 pages, offset-printed and perfect bound, full color on uncoated and coated paper.
Printed in Germany. English language

“Our tour started in Munich’s city centre, interviewing Axel Meise on how he went about shaping “a new culture of light”. Heading west of the city to Neuhausen, Professor Markus Allmann spoke to Oliver Herwig about the quality of a dialectical approach. Up near the River Rhine, Frank Wagner talked to Dr Marc Brunner and Steffen Kehrle about the nate collection. Sigurd Larsen and Georg von Hausen outlined their inspiring philosophy of sustainable products, as designers of the first piece of furniture that comes to mind when talking about living spaces: sofas. Sophie Dries delves into the challenges of designing those private spaces.

Former startup founder Frederik Fischer aims to reinterpret rural living with a new community mindset and has developed the KoDorf (co-village) concept. We spoke to Markus Bader, architect, professor at Berlin University of the Arts and co-founder of raumlabor in Berlin, and read about his excitement of the unexpected – be it in the form of people, events or experiences. From Berlin to the Italian Alps, we met up with Tobias Luthe at MonViso Institute – a real-world lab for trialling sustainable living spaces.

The changes wrought in our living environment by the advance of digital technologies are a long-standing preoccupation of London-based architect and UX designer Keiichi Matsuda, who examines what they means for our daily routines and how fiction can enhance our understanding of our possible futures. Karianne Fogelberg held a transatlantic Zoom interview with Rania Ghosn and El Hadi, and Kimberly Bradley portrayed Lisbon-dwelling curator and architect Mariana Pestana.”

Live a good life in a good world
We believe in a world that makes it possible for everyone to live a good life. It is our heartfelt conviction that design, in all its multifaceted diversity, is a discipline that shapes our world in a positive way, with the potential as yet undeveloped to the full to make a sustainable contribution to shaping our future.

 

Anticipating Future and Accentuating the challenges
We are an interface between the future and the present. We anticipate future-facing developments in new technologies, new societal trends, new forms of living and accompany them as they evolve, identifying their challenges and, against this backdrop, addressing their impact both on global society and on the world of the individual.

 

Emphasizing visionaries, makers and pioneering ideas
We are engaged in a dialogue with the global creative community the designers, architects, artists, authors, scientists and entrepreneurs who devote their force of inspiration, their wealth of ideas, their knowledge, their talent and their creativity to constantly improving existing aspects of life.

 

The world through the eyes of design to initiate a new design culture
Seeing the world through the eyes of design means studying it, shaping it and passing it on with a view to the present and future needs of humanity. A new understanding of design involves adopting an integrated perspective that extends beyond our aesthetic and function-focused understanding of today and embraces a new future-facing and holistic design culture.

 

The voice and the stage of the global creative community
We are the voice for everyone seeking to make a difference in order to shape our world. We shine spotlights, bring individual voices together into one great voice, and thus equip good ideas with the attention they need to reach the wider world. In addition, we are a stage for the people, brands, companies and initiatives that seek to interact with these individuals and join them in dialogue.”
