TALK SERIES VOL. 6 David Sim “Making Cities for People”
2017.10.6(Fri.)
Gehl work round the world making towns and cities better places for people to live, putting the value of public life and public space on the agenda. Building on the legacy of the Danish architect Jan Gehl, they always strive to find the human dimension in planning, architecture and design. Gehl work in many different cultures and climates, different political and socio-economic contexts, but they always start by putting the human experience at the centre of every situation. David Sim will introduce the Gehl philosophy, some of the unique methods and tools they use, as well as present some case studies from the Gehl portfolio, demonstrating how these “pragmatic idealistics” have made cities for people.

TALK SERIES VOL. 5 Christian Holmsted Olesen “Danish Design – an international idiom”
2017.9.22(Fri.)
*This lecture was suspended due to the lecturer’s personal reason. The series of talks will cover an interdisciplinary selection of topics across the fields of design, education, medical care and urban planning with a view to deepening the understanding of the exhibition. Danish Design – an international idiom 1949 American journalists began to write about Danish Design. The American avant-garde wanted to return to the good old days – and this made the quality craft products from the old and not overly advanced agricultural nation, Denmark, quite popular. Danish Design became an international brand. But what characterizes Danish Design from the past and today? The Danish designer Hans J. Wegner described the essence of Danish design as a purification process. By this he meant that designers were building on a long-standing tradition which they continually cultivated and refined. No other nation in the world has had a similar focus on studying older objects and developing them into contemporary objects. Forms from other cultures, especially Japanese culture, informed the development of what gradually became a highly cultivated design society, where every space and object, private as well as public, essentially shows the influence of virtues from tradition and crafts. Perhaps that is why Danish design is often said to be timeless or, at least, durable. It rests on a long-standing tradition.
