Emily Pilloton, fundadora do "Project H", já aqui anunciado e disponível nos links ali à direita, acaba de lançar este livro: "Design Revolution - 100 Products that empower people". O livro mostra 100 produtos que alteraram vidas e pode ser "pré-encomendado" na Amazon.Pode ler-se na contracapa:
Urgent and optimistic, a compendium and a call to action, Design Revolution is easily the most exciting design publication to come out this year. Featuring more than 100 contemporary design objects and systems--safer baby bottles, a high-tech waterless washing machine, low-cost prosthetics for landmine victims, Braille-based Lego-style building blocks for blind children, wheelchairs for rugged conditions, sugarcane charcoal, universal composting systems, DIY soccer balls--that are as fascinating as they are revolutionary, this exceptionally smart, friendly and well-designed volume makes the case for design as a tool to solve some of the world’s biggest social problems in beautiful, sustainable and engaging ways--for global citizens in the developing world and in more developed economies alike. Particularly at a time when the weight of climate change, global poverty and population growth are impossible to ignore, Pilloton challenges designers to be changemakers instead of “stuff creators.”
Aproveito a ocasião para avisar que o site do "Project H" tem uma cara nova e pode ser visto aqui.

Cláudia,
ResponderEliminarOra essa! De nada. Obrigada pelo comentário. É bom saber que andam outros por cá além de quem habitualmente escreve.
Boas férias!
