Where Design Meets Life With Alice Rawsthorn





01/10/2013 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Design is one of the most powerful forces in our lives. When deployed wisely, it can bring us pleasure, choice, strength, decency and much more. But if its power is abused, the outcome can be wasteful, confusing, humiliating, even dangerous. None of us can avoid being affected by design, whether or not we wish to. It is so ubiquitous that it determines how we feel and what we do, often without our noticing.

The International Herald Tribune’s Design Critic Alice Rawsthorn will discusses these issues in her new book, Hello World (Hamish Hamilton, 2013). Rawsthorn will be joined by curator, writer and editor Omar Kholeif for a conversation where they will discuss how warlords, scientists, farmers, hackers, activists and designers have used design to different ends throughout history.
