0 The 'More SKY' Windows Design Project by Aldana Ferrer Garcia

What a great design idea if you live in a small house or small space!

The Dubai Design Week, held from 26 – 31 October, 2015 had a host of creative designs and innovative projects under their 'Global Grad Show' exhibition which features some of the most innovative projects from world's leading design schools.

The expansive exhibition, curated by Brendan Mcgetrick, is housed within the Dubai Design District (d3), spotlighting 50 projects from 10 universities under 6 themes: construction, health, home, memory, play and work and among them was the 'more sky' thesis project created by Argentinian architect Aldana Ferrer Garcia - an experiment in expanding and rethinking the limits of assumed architectural space.

0 GENERATION PRAKTIKUM - A NETWORK OF YELLOW-SHIRTED PEOPLE

A project by '2x4' from New York, NY, USA

Invited to showcase their work in the Design Fair in Frankfurt, they began with the exhibition theme – "Private Identity" – and adapted it into their response: a pop-up t-shirt store as a commentary on the t-shirt's status as the ultimate embodiment of self-branding. They have created a series of 500 unique t-shirts, offering 500 individual identities to the shopper. As each shirt was purchased, they photographed the buyer with their new acquisition. The photograph then was placed where the shirt once hung. As the show progressed, the pop-up shop transformed into a pop-up exhibition: a gallery of portraits revealing views of self-perception and identity.

So each yellow t-shirt was unique as the individual.
