The Design Challenge
Let a crisis become an opportunity! New rules intended to grow more density offer designers a chance to rethink the San Francisco home. Send us your visions for 21st century duplexes and quadriplexes that offer up innovative approaches to lifestyle and architectural style, and show that the single family house is not the only dream home in California. As society grapples with challenges including homelessness, a changing climate and social fragmentation, consider forms of housing that are light on the earth, obtainable in cost and social in nature.

Dichotomy, a student published journal, strives to be a critical link between University of Detroit Mercy students and the discourses on design, architecture, urbanism, and community development.

An urban space quipped to handle residents and strangers alike and to make safety an asset in itself. A thriving city neighborhood must have three main qualities: First, there must be a clear boundary between what is public space and what is private space. Public and private spaces can not ooze into each other as they do typically in suburban settings or projects. Second, there must be eyes upon the street, eyes belonging to those we might call the natural proprietors of the road. The buildings on an urban street should be equipped to handle strangers and ensure the safety of both residents and strangers. They must be oriented to the street. They cannot turn their backs or blank sides on it and leave it blind. Third, public spaces must have users on them reasonably continuously, both to add to the number of effective panopticons and to induce the people in buildings surrounding the space to perform as active characters responsible for the safety of the space.

Feeel Design World Prize – award for designers and creative people who build material environment.

Beyond the rhetoric of the green and contemporary exploitation, the landscape is - in itself - an element of conflict. It is an alterity both considering the inhabited world and to the world of design. It questions new codes, aesthetics, tools, and vocabularies. It is therefore a probability. But the landscape is also otherness with respect to the inhabited world, it is a project that clarifies, reveals everything that instead the design world wants to mask, conceal, embellish, pacify. With this in mind, Seeds questions the original and primary meanings of the landscape and of our way of inhabiting the Earth: it investigates the landscape as a detector of the world’s asymmetries and, at the same time, as design alterity.
