Buckminster Fuller and Cedric Price were mentors when Peter Murray OBE was studying architecture in the 1960s. Peter Cook and the Archigram Group were idols, “they were the Beatles of architecture at the time”. Not a bad selection of teachers for someone interested in the craft from the age of ten.  Since then, Murray has had a huge impact on shaping the city of London. Although he qualified as an architect, he didn't become one. His calling was to carve out a huge career writing about and promoting it. He founded the design and architecture magazine Blueprint and the global communications company Wordsearch. And curated major exhibitions at the Royal Academy in London. He also started the London Festival of Architecture - now a significant annual event in the cultural life of the capital.  Murray has written and published books about architecture, been a Mayor's Design Advocate, Chairman of the London Society and a Visiting Professor at the IE Business School in Madrid. He is Chairman of the Temple Bar Trust and has gathered a huge list of accolades through his career. Including the OBE he received for leadership in the arts, architecture, city planning, design, publication and charity in 2021. He's also a keen cyclist, raising money for charity each year through cycling, and advocate for active cities.   Today, his time is focused on the New London Architecture centre, which he founded in 2005 as a centre for debate and discussion about the changing face of the capital. Some might say London is a better place to live thanks to him.  Listen in as Vince and Peter discuss working in design media in swinging 60s London, how his wildly successful studio Wordsearch came to be, and why, when you see an opportunity, you have to take it.  https://nla.london/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Peter has written and shared a lot about Large Language Models in recent posts and blogs. We wanted to get his perspective on various things, especially now that Voiceflow have incorporated LLMs into their tool. How can conversation designers use LLMs now? How does Peter use the LLM as a sounding board to help him craft prompts? Where might we be using them next? How can we document dynamic conversational designs (when LLMs can allow conversations to go off-rails)?Ben asked him these questions and more…0:00:00Start0:02:44About Peter0:05:44What's your favourite bot?0:06:57What Aussie lingo should bots know?0:09:36Pick 3 words to describe your career so far?0:12:03Do you draw on your former jobs for inspiration?0:14:06What's it like being the first Conversation Design Advocate at VoiceFlow?0:18:12What's the best way to incorporate VoiceFlow into a workflow?0:21:24Are you seeing more interest in conversation design now?0:23:18Where do you see LLMs being used now?0:28:52Could conversation designers become an organisation's knowledge experts?0:31:15We're all making our first steps with LLMs0:33:43It's easy to fall under the spell of an LLM and think it knows everything0:35:36Has conversation design changed forever now?0:37:08Are we over-excited or being too timid?0:40:08Now we can design conversations that are far more dynamic0:41:54Are there best practices for documenting designs with LLMs?0:44:10How does Peter use an LLM to help write the prompt?0:46:42Have you found ways to avoid 'hallucinations'?0:49:56How would a conversational system work without an NLU?0:53:32Are we about to see a new use case for LLMs?0:57:55How will this affect the work of conversation designers in the next 15 years?1:03:12Why's there not been more shocking news about misuse of LLMs?1:05:39We need to constantly monitor where this tech is going1:06:52Outro Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we delve into the relationship between design as a creative discipline and how systems and tools shape this creativity for better or worse. We also talk about why it helps designers to customize their processes and how this allows designers to focus on where they can have the most impact, which is often the strategic side of design, as well as the psychological aspects of the creative problem-solving process.In this episode, we look at:How can you challenge the design brief while avoiding "quick assumptions/solutions"?How do you choose the best methods to solve the problem (JTBD, Sprints, etc.)?How do you incorporate principles of visual perception and affordance into your design process?How do you create artificial friction in your designs?How can designers envision the future using today's tools?And plenty more!Thank you very much for your time and knowledge, Mustafa!******The GuestMustafa is a Staff Product Designer at Twitter working on design systems.

Per la prima volta è proprio grazie a questo podcast che è avvenuto l'incontro con il nuovo ospite. Ho conosciuto Matteo Gratton dopo uno scambio di commenti su LinkedIn e ho scoperto non solo che ascoltava già NOIS3 about Design ma che ha tantissimo da raccontare. Matteo ha una lunga esperienza professionale, dopo aver lavorato come VP in Barclays Corporate Banking e Head of Design in Midas Consoles (Music Tribe) per 4 anni, attualmente è Design Advocate di Sketch. Ma che cos'è un Design Advocate? E un Design System? Questo episodio va a scandagliare esattamente l'importanza e i benefici del sistematizzare i processi al fine di realizzare non solo prodotti migliori ma riutilizzabili e di conseguenza scalabili. Può cambiare in meglio l'approccio delle aziende e della collaborazione all'interno dei team ma è anche molto delicato perché spesso “bisogna aprire porte che sono ermeticamente chiuse”.

Paloma is Head of Product & Creative Director of Patch, a startup developing a ‘Work Near Home' ecosystem of coworking clubs and cultural venues across UK high streets.Prior to joining Patch, Paloma co-founded Assemble, the social impact design studio whose innovative, purpose-driven approaches were awarded the Turner Prize (2015). Paloma writes, speaks, and advises on cities, culture, and technology, regularly presenting and advising in the UK and internationally, with roles spanning Design Advocate to the Mayor of London (2017-21), to judge of the European Prize for Urban Public Space (2022).  Paloma studied architecture at Cambridge University and the Royal College of Art. She was awarded the Loeb Fellowship at Harvard University (2019-20), where she concentrated on technology's scope to power inclusive change. She's active in the UK's startup and venture communities, and in 2021 completed the Newton Venture Program with the London Business School and LocalGlobe VC – a first-of-its-kind tech investor program.

Susan Szenasy is one of the best known design critics and editors of the past four decades; she served as editor of Metropolis magazine from the mid 1980s until a few years ago. In 2017, she was the winner of a Cooper Hewitt National Design Award. During her tenure, Metropolis became one of the most expansive design publications in the American media landscape -- covering all disciplines and tackling sustainability as part of design early and deeply. We talked to her about ethics, Trombe walls, why the disciplines don't talk to one another much, and how the “architects pollute” cover story in 2003 spotlighted built environment emissions. Susan's view on design is all encompassing. She has the appreciation of a historian and the the gravity of a pragmatist (perhaps rooted in her childhood in Communist Hungary). She showed how a media platform could elevate voices and ideas -- about who design is for, how it relates to ecology and planet, how we teach design and ethics for designers, and how design is valued and funded. A collection of her writing and talks is available in Szenasy: Design Advocate (Metropolis Books, 2014).  

The voices featured in this trailer are Ash Oliver, Design Advocate at Maze, David Hoang, Director of Product Design at Webflow, Brian Lovin, Product Designer at Github, and Jeremy Le Van, previous co-founder at Sunrise and former Director of Design at Microsoft. Stay tuned for new episodes coming soon.

A wonderfully insightful, open and frank conversation with one of the UK's most successful and impactful entrepreneurs. A journey from Morecambe to Blackburn to Wigan (mostly the Casino) and on to London where Kensington Market sparked the flame for winning fashion brand. A fascinating story of two highly successful businesses borne out of a strong, dynamic relationship. Our guest came to prominence in the 1980's with fashion brand Red or Dead, created by Wayne and his equally talented partner Gerardine Hemingway MBE. In this conversation we explore the opportunities, challenges and decisions that shaped a global fashion brand and subsequently the driving force of Hemingway Design, project successes and future plans. Outline · Early years, Piers to Casino's · Finding a Partner in Life and Fashion · Rent or Debt to Red or Dead · Growing a Global Brand · Next Chapter… Hemingway Design · Passion in Business and Design · What fires you up and drives you in your role? · Advice for Partners in Business Website: https://www.hemingwaydesign.co.uk Twitter: @HemingwayDesign Bio: Bio - Wayne Hemingway MBE. One bright day in 1981, Wayne “borrowed” his girlfriend's (now wife) Gerardine's rent money to buy practice space for the band he then played in. To recoup the cash, he emptied their wardrobes, which were full of handmade and vintage clothing and to his amazement quickly sold out from his pitch on Camden Market. The realisation that money could be made from fashion suddenly dawned. Alongside Gerardine, Wayne built Red or Dead into a globally-celebrated label and, after 21 consecutive seasons on the catwalk, sold it in a multi-million-pound deal to the Pentland Group. In 1999, fresh from the sale of Red or Dead, Wayne and Gerardine embarked on a new adventure: HemingwayDesign. And the rest, they say, is history. Wayne qualified from University with a BSc degree in Geography and Town Planning which he has subsequently had an opportunity to put to very good use with collaborations with major builders including Wimpey on an award-winning site, Staiths, in Gateshead. Wayne spent 6 years as a Design Council Trustee Board and having been with CABE for a decade since its inception (as Chair of Building For Life), has been a Mayors London Leader and currently supports the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan as a Design Advocate. He is an advisor to House of Commons Select Committees on coastal regeneration, got an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list of 2006, is a Professor in The Built Environment Department of Northumbria University, a Doctor of Design at Wolverhampton, Lancaster and Stafford, and an Honorary Fellow of Blackburn College, the University of Cumbria and Regents University.

NFT stands for "non-fungible token." This kind of token is like Bitcoin, except while you can trade Bitcoin and have more of the same thing that represents real money at a varying market value, each NFT is unique. You possess the token that says you own something, like an art piece, and you can trade it, but if you do, you'll be getting an entirely different piece. To keep all the parts in place, there's enforced (artificial, but isn't everything?) scarcity.

Mark Mirchandani and Michelle Casbon take over the show this week to discuss AI and the PAIR Guidebook to Human-Centered AI. Mark Mandel pops in on the interview, and Di Dang, Design Advocate at Google, talks about her role in designing and building the guidebook with the intent of helping others create quality AI projects. Di describes human-centered AI as a practice of not only being conscious of the project being built, but also considering how this AI project will impact us as humans at the end of the day. We influence machine learning so much, both intentionally and unintentionally, and it’s our job to look at the project and results as a whole. In the guidebook, topics like data bias in machine learning, what design patterns work, how to establish trust with the user, and more are addressed. Di explains that the guidebook is a work in progress that will develop with input from users and advances in technology. Di Dang Di Dang recently joined Google’s Design Relations team as a Design Advocate supporting emerging technologies such as augmented reality and machine learning. Previously, she worked as a Senior UX Designer and led the Emerging Tech group at Seattle-based digital agency POP, advising clients on how VR/AR, web/mobile, conversational UI, and machine learning could benefit their end users.

In this episode, Design Advocate and host of the new Design Notes podcast Liam Spradlin speaks with Senior Interaction Designer Roman Nurik about Google’s Firebase mobile development platform, the unique challenges of designing for developers, and his approach to building design tools. Subscribe to the Method podcast on Google Play, iTunes, or RSS. A few highlights: On designing UX for developers, 18:00 “We really want to make sure that if you come into Firebase not having ever built a database, or not ever having done any sort of analytics, that you have a good experience.” On the question of density in Firebase and Material, 21:30 “Density is one of those things that depends on what you're looking at, so we focus a bit more on the content… We make choices at almost an individual page level of what is the best way to present this information. Should it be dense? Should it be sparse?” On building digital tools for designers, 29:15 “I love building tools that empower the designer to tell a computer how to do something rather than doing it themselves. Time is a very precious resource for everybody. Literally anything that can save time for designers, I try to do.” Handy info and links for this episode: Firebase: Google's mobile platform for quickly developing high-quality apps.
