Today, we have a very special guest joining us. We talk to the legendary Don Norman, also known as the godfather of design, who started his interesting career life as electrical engineer, ended up to be a psychologist, cognitive scientist and computer scientist, and eventually a designer. Don has authored many design classics, such as The Psychology of Everyday Things, and his latest book, Design for the Better World is coming out this March. Don shares his interesting career stories and we talk about writing books. Our main focus in this episode is on designing for a better world and what's law got to do with it. Design thinking has become very popular during the last decades, and has expanded to many new areas of business and society - such as law - with a promise of driving innovation and positive transformation. Lawyers, managers, doctors, civil servants, business owners - you name it - are encouraged to think and act like “designers” and organize their work like design teams do. But is there some red flags in this development and what are Don's thoughts about this? The way law seeks for betterment of society is by passing on new regulation. However, law may not always be the best tool to influence human behavior. We discuss that instead of making new laws, should we design the legislation more in a way that would lead to a smaller amount of laws and try to figure out a way to guide people's behavior in other ways and what those other ways could be from Don's point of view. Lastly, Don explains how he sees the future of design thinking and does it have the potential to become the default approach to problem solving, no matter the discipline or the context. Don Norman has lived multiple lives: University professor, Industry executive, consultant, keynote speaker, and author. He has been an electrical engineer, a psychologist, cognitive scientist, computer scientist, and designer. He retired from the University of California, San Diego in 1993, returned in 2014 to become the founding Director of the Design Lab: He retired in the seventh year of his five-year appointment on Dec. 31, 2020. He also has retired from Northwestern University, from the Nielsen Norman group, and from being a trustee at the Institute of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology. He now has retired five times and has the title "emeritus" from all four places. He is the co-founder and principal of the User Experience/Usability consulting firm, the Nielsen Norman group, where he is now emeritus. He has been an IDEO fellow and a member of the Board of Trustees of IIT's Institute of Design in Chicago (now emeritus at IIT). Along the way he has been a VP at Apple, an executive at HP, with experience at startups ranging from investor, adviser, and member of the board of directors. He has received three honorary degrees, the Franklin Institute medal for Cognitive and Computer Science, and membership in the National Academy of Engineering. In October 2021 he went to London to receive the Sir Misha Black Medal for Distinguished Services to Design Education for 2021. While in London he spent three days with people from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and at the London Design Museum which just opened its exhibit on "The Waste Age." The major topic at both places was "What Can Design Do?" as we discussed how to convince manufacturers and designers to design for the Circular Economy with Circular Design principles. Both these visits played a major role in his new book.

Rosalie McMillan and Adam Fairweather are co-founders of the materials, design and manufacturing house, Smile Plastics. They have a factory in South Wales which takes plastics and other materials traditionally classed as waste and transforms them into extraordinarily eye-catching, large scale, solid surface panels. Over the years, the company has worked with the likes of Stella McCartney, Christian Dior, Paul Smith, Selfridges and the Wellcome Trust to name just a handful. Interestingly, this is the second coming for the material. I first came across it in the mid-1990s, when it was created by the designer and educator, Jane Atfield, for her renowned RCP2 chair, a piece that is in the permanent collections of the V&A and the Crafts Council and which is currently included the Yinka Ilori show, Parables for Happiness, at the London Design Museum.In this episode we talk about: the history of Smile Plastics; reviving the company in 2014 after it had closed four years earlier; how Adam and Rosalie started in a bomb shelter next to piles of compost; why the company was ahead of its time; the craft behind the material's process; Adam's early fascination with coffee waste; Rosalie's other career in jewellery; their live/work balance; calling the factory's machines Colin; and their ambitious plans for global growth.Support the show

In this episode of the Out of the Clouds podcast, host Anne Muhlethaler interviews former Commonwealth British gymnast, dancer, choreographer, entrepreneur and now certified breath coach Aicha McKenzie (@AichaMcKenzie). Aicha is the CEO and founder of the AMCK Group, which she launched in 2005 with AMCK Dance - an award-winning international premium dance agency with the most elite selection of dancers, choreographers, and creative directors - as well AMCK Models in 2008, London's only exclusively male model agency, counting over 150 male models on its books, shooting campaigns for Prada, Gucci, Burberry, among many others. Aicha has made many TV appearances, appearing as a judge on reality dance shows in the UK and the US. Aicha has also been responsible for choreographing 300 Olympic dancers during the London 2012 Olympic Games.Aicha and Anne met on a very special project with burlesque cabaret dancer Dita Von Teese, a filmed performance that was to be turned into a hologram, the keystone of the famed shoe designer Christian Louboutin's 20th anniversary retrospective at the London Design Museum. Over the course of this very personal interview, Aicha shares her amazing story, or her ‘many lives' as she refers to it: from her first life as the first Black gymnast to win a medal at the Commonwealth Games, supported by her amazing mother, to becoming a commercial dancer and working as a choreographer with top artists, to her latest pursuit launching, running, and expanding an award-winning AMCK Group, which consists of four entities, AMCK Dance, AMCK Models, AMCK Fit and BreatheByAMCK.The two of them move to talking about the stress of managing it all, Aicha's health scares, and how movement has been a through line for her, even in difficult times. The conversation moves to managing burnout, launching a wellness arm with AMCKFit, learning to let things move through and the value in slowing down. Anne and Aicha also discuss the power and purpose of our breath. The certified breath coach shares this wisdom: “Breath is the whole story: balance, reset, energise, activate, transform, heal, exhale” and said that she ‘loves working with the breath because it's allowing that pause to exist, allowing yourself to literally take a breath.'Having helped so many talented individuals at some point in their careers, the mother and CEO says that her work in its entirety is about the connection to being oneself, not being someone else or following another's path.A very powerful, moving and inspirational interview with an incredible woman.

Meet Ai-Da; a robot artist named after mathematician Ada Lovelace. Its artistic portraits are being featured at the London Design Museum. Aidan Meller, Creator of Ai-Da 00:35 #AiDa #Robot #Artist

Without empathy, it would be very hard for any of us to live any type of productive life. In fact, we need it in order to collaborate and understand others. Right now in the world, there is said to be a dearth of compassion, they use the word polarisation. Some studies as discussed within this interview with Enni, show that empathy among college students in North America had declined 40% between the 1970s and the 2000s. Some of that is potentially attributed to an uptick in the use of technology and its detriment to connection. What does it mean to show compassion or relate to someone else's feelings?  That forms the intellectual backdrop for Enni-Kukka Tuomala a new and talented Finnish artist/designer based out of London who has been causing quite a stir with her unique and unorthodox projects like the Empathy Echo Chamber and Forest Empathy. Her goal is to bring people closer together through spontaneity & discussion.   That was indeed the result here in this podcast, we crossed many terrains exploring the challenges we face in a polarised world, how consumerism plays on our empathy and of course that infamous 'be a cunt' game she has so wonderfully created. Working all over the world, and with a range of tools. She has earned praise from many quarters for her unconventional approach. From reworking the interior environment of the Finnish parliament to creating challenging art spaces for us to interact with. We need to have a serious rethink about how we function in private and public spaces and the rules that we have embedded within them. It is clear, we need artists and practitioners like Enni to show us a new world where meaningful exchanges are encouraged. To see more of Enni's work please check out her website. "Forest Empathy" is currently on show at the London Design Museum online exhibition "Care".

Operating far outside the lines of what he calls the “humanitarian-industrial complex,” freelance culture hacker and FreeSpace founder Mike Zuckerman has been going into refugee settlements around the world, working with their citizens to create spaces and places that better serve their communities. While the NGOs wrung their hands over how to deliver aid in the COVID-19 pandemic, Zuck spent most of last year on the ground in Uganda, working with the people of Nakivale, a refugee settlement of 120,000 near the Tanzanian border. Together they built civic spaces including an amphitheater, a library, a radio station, and a Virtual Reality room in a shipping container, which they used to connect Nakivale to the Burning Man online multiverse last summer. With projects like these, Zuck is bringing the lessons of Black Rock City to other temporary spaces around the world, helping displaced persons overcome “agency deprivation disorder” and reclaim their innate plowers of self-reliance and self-expression.http://www.mikezuckerman.comhttp://freespace.iohttps://opportunigee.orghttps://burningman.org/culture/burning-man-arts/grants/globalLIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG

Natsai Audrey Chieza is a designer who has built an extraordinary career by working with bacteria. She grew up in Zimbabwe, before moving to the UK at the age of 17 and training as an architect at Edinburgh University. Subsequently though, she changed tack and completed her MA on the Material Futures course at London’s Central Saint Martins. Now through her experimental studio, Faber Futures, she operates between biology, design and our wider society, working, for instance, with microorganisms to find new, ecologically-sound, processes for dying our clothes. As one magazine put it: ‘For Chieza, designing with biology presents unique opportunities to address significant ecological challenges, squaring the circle of sustainable production and finite resources.’ Her work has been exhibited in places such as the V&A, the London Design Museum, and the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation. She also has a wildly successful TED talk under her belt. More recently she has set up a multi-media storytelling platform with Ginkgo Bioworks, entitled Ferment TV, looking at the future of synthetic biology, Covid 19, Black Lives Matter and an array of other issues.In this episode we discuss: growing up in Zimbabwe; racism in the design world; changing the way we consume; learning to work with bacteria; and why our future is biological. It’s kind of eclectic but hugely important.Discover more about Natsai here.And you can find out more about me and sign up to my newsletter here.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/materialmatters)

¿Qué es el diseño sin apellido? Javier Mariscal sin duda es uno de los creadores españoles con más proyección internacional. Valenciano de nacimiento, barcelonés de adopción y ciudadano del mundo. La vida de Mariscal es una historia de amor con el dibujo.Pintor, diseñador, dibujante de cómics… trabaja en todo tipo de soportes y disciplinas: diseño gráfico, paisajismo, pintura, escultura, Ilustración, animación, diseño de producto, diseño de packaging, multimedia; sin dejar de traicionar nunca su identidad de dibujante. En este episodio conversamos acerca de cómo es su proceso proyectual, basado en la intuición y el caos. Me contó cómo se apoyó en el dibujo para entender la vida y cuál fue el momento preciso donde nació su relación con el packaging, o mejor dicho con los paquetes. También hablamos sobre el rol de los diseñadores en la sociedad y por qué la gran mayoría de los diseñadores nos la pasamos jugando.Desde joven imagina formas, historias y personajes que escapan de cualquier etiqueta y estereotipo, mostrando siempre su particular universo vital, lleno de historias, personajes, divertidas caligrafías y sus líneas distorsionadas que rompen límites.Su osadía va en paralelo a los grandes retos que ha asumido, desde Cobi, la mascota de los Juegos Olímpicos de Barcelona, al diseño global de un hotel de gran lujo, la ilustración de portadas del New Yorker y la creación de la película de animación Chico & Rita junto a Fernando Trueba, ganadora de un Goya y nominada a los Oscars como mejor película animada.Diseñar la mascota de los Juegos Olímpicos de Barcelona'92, “ese perro aplastado por un camión en la autopista” de nombre Cobi, será el pistoletazo de partida para crear su Estudio Mariscal en una vieja fábrica de curtidos a cinco minutos del mar.Premio Nacional de Diseño (1999), expone en el Centro Georges Pompidou de París y participa en el Documenta de Kassel, a las que se suman retrospectivas como Mariscal Drawing Life en el London Design Museum, Mariscal en La Pedrera o The Art Player en Korea.

The latest (sort of) lockdown special episode of Material Matters features the excellent Fernando Laposse. The up-and-coming designer has made his name in recent years with his colourfully beautiful veneer, Totomoxtle, which is made from the husks of Mexican corn grown in the tiny village of Tonahuixtla. The product was included in last year’s exhibition Food: Bigger than the Plate at the Victoria and Albert Museum, as well as being shortlisted for the London Design Museum’s Beazley Designs of the Year in 2018.In this episode the Paris-born but Mexican-bred designer talks about the background of this deeply personal project, which involves macro-economics (and Mexico’s controversial free trade agreement with the US and Canada); agricultural heritage; global food culture; old family friends and childhood summer holidays; as well as craft and, of course, corn. Importantly it illustrates how design thinking can genuinely make a difference to an entire community, showing that traditional techniques and ways of living can still thrive in the globalised economy. As Fernando says his work ‘is preoccupied with sustainability, the loss of biodiversity, community disenfranchisement and the politics of food’. It's fascinating stuff.To find out more about Fernando and his work check out: www.fernandolaposse.com
