Charlie Paton RDI, award-winning product developer, maker, designer and forester will give this year's RDI Address.Earth, Wind and FireJust add water – a climate recipeAs we lurch from one crisis to the next, our present and future is looking decidedly sub-optimal.  We have the tools and technologies to fix things, but are we using them wisely?For everything we make or use, the materials have either grown or been mined. Everything either comes from plants or a hole in the ground. The products have all been designed somewhere by someone. Does that make designers part of the problem or part of the solution? If so, how?Can we conceive of solutions to our world's climate emergency, forest fires and rising sea levels, conflict and the hunger that goes with it – all while cooling the planet? Charlie offers some suggestions. Prior to the Address, 4 new Royal Designers for Industry (RDI) and 3 new Honorary Royal Designers for Industry will be welcomed to the Faculty.  The title ‘Royal Designer for Industry' is awarded annually by the RSA to designers of all disciplines who have achieved sustained design excellence, work of aesthetic value and significant benefit to society. The RDI is the highest accolade for designers in the UK.

Erik Spiekermann ist Setzer, Drucker, Kunsthistoriker, Informationsdesigner, Schriftentwerfer und Fachautor. 1979 gründete er MetaDesign, ein Unternehmen, das ganz erheblichen Einfluss auf die Designentwiklcung und auf unzählige Designer:innen-Karrieren genommen hat. 1989 folgte die Grünung von FontShop, dem weltweit ersten Vertrieb elektronischer Schriften. Nach dem Ausscheiden aus dem aktiven Geschäft ist er heute Aufsichtsrat bei Edenspiekermann, Berlin, Amsterdam, San Francisco & Los Angeles. Seine Typografische Werkstatt p98a.berlin verbindet digitale Techniken mit dem analogen Buchdruck. Er hat so viele Preise gewonnen und an so vielen Jurys teilgenommen, dass eine Aufzählung unsere Shownotes sprengen würde. Mehr zu ihm ihn den anliegenden Links. Dr. Mateo Kries, Direktor des Vitra Design Museums, schreibt über ihn: "Erik Spiekermanns grafische Identitäts- und Designarbeit ist seit den 1970er Jahren ein distinktiver Teil der visuellen Welt. Als Gründer von »MetaDesign« und »Edenspiekermann« gab er unter anderem dem ÖPNV Berlins, der Deutschen Bahn, dem »Economist« und Unternehmen wie Audi, Volkswagen und Bosch ein unverwechselbares Erscheinungsbild. Seine Arbeiten wurden mit den prestigeträchtigsten Preisen Europas ausgezeichnet, nicht zuletzt ernannte ihn die britische Queen zum Royal Designer for Industry. »FontShop«, das erste Versandgeschäft für Computerschriften, geht ebenso auf seine kreative Initiative zurück wie zahlreiche Schriftentwürfe, u.a. ITC Officina und FF Meta – beide sind inzwischen als Klassiker auf vielen Festplatten vorhanden. Bis heute ist er eine zentrale Figur der deutschen und internationalen Designszene. Nach seinem Ausscheiden aus dem aktiven Geschäft betreibt er heute in Berlin eine experimentelle typografische Werkstatt unter dem Motto »Hacking Gutenberg«." Fontwerk über Erik Spiekermann https://fontwerk.com/de/designers/erik-spiekermann "Der Mann, dessen Regal Preise für sein Lebenswerk der renommiertesten Verbände und eine schön gerahmte Ehrendoktorurkunde schmücken. Dessen Fachbücher und die über ihn erschienene Designerbiografie internationale Bestseller wurden. Der mehr erfolgreiche Schriften gestaltet hat, als das Gesamtprogramm der meisten Foundries umfasst. Der als kurzweiliger Gast in Film-, TV- und Audio-Produktionen auftritt und der BBC bereits in den Achtzigern Typomanie erklärte. Der in drei Zeitzonen zu Hause ist und in jedem Ort mehr Fahrräder besitzt als eine sportliche Großfamilie. Der am Aufbau zwei der relevantesten Kreativagenturen, eines legendären Letterpress-Workshops, den zeitweilig wichtigsten unabhängigen Fontvertriebs und der größte Bibliothek zeitgenössischer Schriften mitwirkte."

Ron Arad was born in Tel Aviv educated at the Jerusalem Academy of Art and later at the Architectural Association in London. He co-founded the design and production studio One Off with Caroline Thorman in 1981 and later, in 1989, Ron Arad Associates architecture and design practice and in 2008 he set up Ron Arad Architects. Ron was awarded the Royal Designer for Industry (RDI) in recognition of his ‘sustained excellence in aesthetic and efficient design for industry' in 2002, and was awarded the London Design Medal in 2011. He was professor of Design at the Hochschule in Vienna from 1994 to 1997, and later Professor of Design Products at the Royal College of Art in London. In 2013 he was elected as a Royal Academician by the Royal Academy of Art in London. Ron Arad's constant experimentation with the possibilities of materials such as steel, aluminium or polyamide and his radical re-conception of the form and structure of furniture has put him at the forefront of contemporary design.

It's my work but it's also all my passions - soil diversity, urban forestry, rain water management and the connection with the natural cycles and connection with everything that feeds the soul and gives you a joy of life.” (Johanna) “To me, a city is a landscape.” (Johanna) “It's not muck-away, this is one of the most important, critical infrastructures of the planet and we talk about muck-away. It comes from ignorance, it comes from a mis-understanding or nobody pointed it out in the first place.” (Johanna) “There is a disconnect with nature and the most fundamental aspect of terrestrial life on earth… is soil.” (Johanna) “A handful of soil has more microbes than there are people on this earth.” (Johanna) “We do like digging holes. Because when you dig a hole you reveal all sorts of secret horizons, a layer cake of human endeavour, of natural cycles, it depends if it's urban, brownfield, greenfield… and therein lies the story.” (Johanna) “The whole re-cycling energy is to do with the soil and not touching it… letting it repair itself.” (Johanna) “Nature is resilient if we would let it be.” (Johanna) “Composting… because it is (soil) like black gold. You take your good quality waste, you put it into a hot rotter (?) and it comes back as soil. It is quite a magical thing.” (Johanna) “Despite all our best endeavours… we rely on six inches of soil and the fact that it rains.” (Johanna) Social Media Johanna Gibbons Web:  www.jlg-london.com Instagram: @jlg_london David Pearl (Host) Twitter @DavidPearlHere Instagram @davidpearl_here Website www.davidpearl.net Andrew Paine (Producer & Audio Engineer) Twitter @ItPainesMe
