Ian Fitzpatrick writes, collects and shares things here.

Some of these things have to do with brands, some of them have to do with buildings and places or machines or computers (which are, you know, machines, too). Each of them has to do with people, and the ways in which we respond to the stimuli around us.

Repairs without Borders

One of the more ingenious things I’ve seen in some time. Speaks for itself, I think.

From the Platform21 website:

Platform21 is a platform for people curious about the future. An old, round chapel in Amsterdam is our public design laboratory. Here we organise exhibitions, lectures and other events.

To us, design is a vehicle to dream about the future. What is possible, what will change and where lay the most exciting creative challenges? Every new project starts from a recent theme. This can be the future of the car or the possibilities of a technique like folding. Within such a theme we ask designers, artists, architects and scientists for a creative contribution. Existing works are combined with work in progress. Platform21 thus functions as an international meeting place, real and virtual, where professionals, amateurs and public inspire each other.
