Finally I beated the silly Quiz!




- If we talk about design, if we talk about vases, if we talk about Japan, if we talk about life, we can’t avoid mr Shiro Kuramata.He is one of our long-lasting loves. Start exploring from this link… “The Temple of the Golden Pavillion” is a very good book by Yukio Mishima. If you haven’t read, it wouldn't be bad to do so...
Mr Sottsass was one of the most influential designers of the whole XXth Century.We already shared the link to this video, but to see it once again, it isn’t a bad thing.
- We met mr Noguchi several times. Till now, it was about lamps.
Now, take a look to his vases… Here for instance. Or this other one, for example…If you forgot about him, here you have the link.
By the way, Momofuku Ando, is the one who invented the instant noodles.
- Dieter Rams is a very important designer, but he never had partners when working.If you answered C, you were close. Pierre de Meuron is a partner of Jacques Herzog, not Werner. To get in the right mood for this week class, take a look to this short movie: “The Great Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner”. It’s a masterpiece. All designers should watch it!
- If you never heard about this Voynich Manuscript, follow this link and get lost into it...
- The one who came out with Taylorism was Frederick Taylor.
Mick Taylor was, for some years, the Rolling Stones’ lead guitarist. After Brian Jones, before Ron Wood. So good that one day he woke up and left them out of the blue.
- Although Queneau’s book is very nice, it was a way to introduce you to what we have in mind as our class' final exhibition.
- Check Kaufman’s website. A lof of special stuff there. The famous Israeli designer based in London is Ron Arad. While Bezalel, is an excellent school, but we don’t know the name of its dean.
- Kazuio Sejima. Check it out. Isn’t it special?
- Paolo Ulina. Here the link for you to check. Anyway, he is actually very good.
Check this other link. Here you have his website.
- Ecolo.Check it out!
