Product Description
Product Description
Would it be great if... (the Dott 07 Manual) accompanies the Designs of the time (Dott 07) Festival. The Dott 07 Festival celebrated a year of community design projects, events and exhibitions based in North East England that explored what life in a sustainable region could be like - and how design can help us get there. It is called a manual (rather than a book, or catalogue) because it's about practical ways for people either to join Dott projects themselves, or do something similar where they live.
About the Author
John Thackara is a symposiarch who designs events, projects, and organisations. He is renowned internationally for his work as director of the design innovation network, Doors of Perception. Doors creates projects and festivals in which designers, together with grassroots innovators and other citizens, develop new services and products for daily life. This unique network of paradigm-changing designers, technology innovators, and grassroots innovators is inspired by two questions 'What might life in a sustainable world be like?' and, 'What design steps are needed to get us there?' John has lectured in more than 40 countries and is the author of 12 books. His latest is In the bubble: designing in a complex world. John edited Design magazine for five years, was later Modern Culture Editor of Harpers & Queen and design correspondent of The Guardian. He worked as Director of Research at the Royal College of Art, and was twice chairman of the European Design Summit.
