“One of the first leadership roles I had was on a program called Sea-based X-band radar. It is a massive radar, sitting on a mobile platform in the middle of the ocean. It’s about 300 feet, so think of a football field size platform sitting in the ocean with a massive radar on it.

Her rise up the corporate ladder led her to a role where she has an impact and can guide what is important to her.“Deciding on how we invest our dollars today means that we get the best technology in the future to give to the men and women serving our country,” she says. “You want them to have the best possible equipment to protect themselves, and making the investments today to enable that is, to me, really important. Based in New York City and Princeton, New Jersey, she divides her time between professional practice and writing about design. She has worked in the offices of leading global architects, among them Moshe Safdie and Richard Meier, and held editorial posts with Abitare, World Architecture News, and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Christian Narkiewicz-Laine is an architecture and design critic, formerly the architecture critic for the Chicago Sun-Times and editor of Inland Architect magazine. Such printed buildings can be recycled, which is unique compared to current construction.

Coming to the rescue of leaflets, typefaces and ticket stubs is the People’s Graphic Design Archive, a crowdsourced database that recently went live after eight years of development. The digital archive, which currently contains about 5,000 items, allows anyone, anywhere in the world, to upload — and thereby keep — any piece of ephemera. For the German-born designer Jan Kath, now living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, rugs are not just decorative objects; they also reflect global politics. His “Rug Bombs” exhibition of 11 handknotted works at the Alte Brüderkirche, a church in Kassel, Germany, follows a modern tradition by artisans in troubled countries of weaving images of violence and warfare into textiles. This article is part of our Design special section on how looks, materials and even creators evolve.

Courtney Nagle serves as Senior Vice President at WTWH Media, where she is responsible for strategic planning of the industrial division. Courtney joined the company in 2012 and holds a B.A from Bowling Green State University.

Each rug takes from three to five months to compete, he said. One of Ferarro’s early projects was working on the massive Sea-based X-band radar, which sits on a mobile platform in the middle of the ocean. Her father and oldest brother are chemical engineers; her second oldest brother and her oldest sister are civil engineers. The Greenland ice sheet was chosen as it is smaller, making it a bit easier to study, and it’s closer to the United States. The goal was to map Greenland topography to a centimeter-level resolution to measure where there might be melting going off into the ocean and land mass shifting. Ferraro was on the first NASA P-3 aircraft that mapped all of Greenland for a topography baseline.

It was used to create a 600-square-foot, single-family home made of wood fiber and bio-resin materials that are recyclable. Dubbed “BioHome3D,” it showed an ability to quickly produce homes. To meet the growing demand for housing, Maine alone will need another 80,000 homes over the next six years, according to MaineHousing. Our programmes are designed to enable collaborations among the global industrial design community, to identify challenges and opportunities and to address some of the world’s most significant economic, social and environmental challenges, from a design perspective.

Dagher said there’s a shortage of both affordable housing and workers to build homes. The university wants to show how homes can be constructed nearly entirely by a printer with a lower carbon footprint. Luckily, there were so many interesting presentations on view that braving the crowds felt well worth it. Inspiring young engineersMultiple efforts have been made to encourage more women to pursue engineering as a career.
But it can be used for a variety of other creations and already has been used for a range of things, from boats to defense department structures. In the past, the university showed off a 25-foot boat created by the first printer. Upcoming projects with the new printer include a 50-foot boat and houses to serve homeless people, Dagher said. The original printer, christened in 2019, was certified by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest polymer 3D printer, the university said.
No one person could possibly solve some of these technically complex issues that we’re trying to resolve. It’s absolutely essential to work as a team to bring in the right subject matter experts. And I think this aspect of engineering is not emphasized enough. Many women who might have considered this field might have resisted it thinking it’s a solitary role.
We provide news, product developments, application stories, technical how-to articles, and analysis of engineering trends — particularly in the semiconductor, off-highway, medical, aerospace, machine tool, and packaging industries. In addition to a 40,000 print circulation audience, we have more than 100,000 online readers each month. Our editors are extremely active on a variety of social media platforms, and they produce webcasts, videos, podcasts, and more to stay connected with the Design World audience. In just over a decade, Design World has grown to be the #1 publication in its space. Browse the most current issue of Design World and back issues in an easy to use high quality format.
Special guest-edited issues concentrate on particular themes, such as design history, human-computer interface, service design, organization design, design for development, and product design methodology. Founded in 1930 and located in Pasadena, California, ArtCenter College of Design is a global leader in art and design education. With a current enrollment of approximately 2,423 students (57% female and 43% male, representing more than 50 countries), the College has a student/faculty ratio of 8 to 1. ArtCenter offers 11 undergraduate and 10 graduate degrees in a wide array of industrial design, visual and applied arts disciplines, as well as minors for undergraduate students in Business, Creative Writing, Material Science, Research, and Social Innovation.
The brand’s name pays homage to the cult Italian designer Carla Venosta, who created modernist furniture and interiors in the 1970s and ’80s. The first American academic journal to examine design history, theory, and criticism, Design Issues provokes inquiry into the cultural and intellectual issues surrounding design. Regular features include theoretical and critical articles by professional and scholarly contributors, extensive book and exhibition reviews, and visual sequences.
“You can basically deconstruct it, you can grind it up if you wish, the 3D printed parts, and reprint with them, do it again,” Dagher said before the event. The printer’s frame fills up the large building in which it’s housed on the UMaine campus, and can print objects 96 feet long by 32 feet wide by 18 feet high (29 meters by 10 meters by 5.5 meters). The aesthetic was institutional furniture meets Italian grandma’s house.
