DESIGNING FOR MASSIVE CHANGE
by Katharine Logan
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2004/1110/news_1-1.html
"Massive Change: The Future of Global Design," an
ambitious new exhibition on the domain of contemporary
design, began its three-year international tour at
British Columbia's Vancouver Art Gallery in October.
A 16,000-square-foot (1500-square-meter) installation
of staggering scope, Massive Change gallops the visitor
through the current issues in design, from the
challenges of an ever-expanding built environment and
an increasingly modified nature, through the
possibilities of composting plastics and aerated
super-insulating glass, to the dilemmas of genetically
engineered salmon and a human nose growing all alone
afloat in a glass jar.
Along the way and without slowing down, the exhibition
poses the question: "Now that we can do anything, what
will we do?"
"Design is one of the most powerful forces at work
today," says the exhibition's principal designer, Bruce
Mau, known for his interdisciplinary design practice
and his manifestos Life Style and "S,M,L,XL," the
latter in collaboration with Rem Koolhaas. "Design is
no longer simply a mechanism for adapting to the world
in which we live," Mau says, "but is profoundly
affecting change on a global scale."

Does it feel like the air is extra "charged" these
days? The air waves are buzzing with communications
from cellular telephones, remote control devices, and
global positioning devices. Our digital world is being
transformed by these technologies and, most recently,
by wireless networks.
