CORE77 OPEN, ALL CITY ALL STARS EXHIBITION From Broadway to Rockaway, Pelham to Freshkills, 8.2 million people call New York City home. On the occasion of NY Design Week, Core77 took a moment to survey the landscape of all five boroughs with an open call to designers to represent their hometown. Since its very beginnings, the city has been a trading grounds—a venue at the crossroads of ideas, commerce, materials and innovation. The 35 designers representing nearly as many neighborhoods in the ALL CITY ALL STARS continue to explore that space, negotiating technologies, materials, histories and futures in the crucible of a dynamic city.
CORE77 DESIGN AWARDS 2012: LIVE BROADCAST SCHEDULE Since launching the Core77 Design Awards program last year, we've had an incredible outpouring of support from all corners of the design community and we couldn't be more delighted at the huge amount of participation this year. With that being said, there's more excitement to come! Mark your calendars because July 8-16 we will be broadcasting LIVE over 9 days from eight countries with our distinguished judges announcing the winners for our 17 categories.
COLUMN: THE POWER OF BAD IDEAS Ideation, or if you prefer, brainstorming, is a structured activity with many degrees of freedom within that structure. When leading sessions, I emphasize divergent, generative thinking, and ask participants to defer evaluation and prioritization. Defer, not disregard. Of course we need to bring convergence into the process, but not until later. As you'd expect, much of the energy and focus for these ideation sessions is on the creation of good ideas. But there's an interesting important role for bad ideas to play. By Steve Portigal
CATALYSTS FOR CHANGE: HOW TO GAMIFY A PATH OUT OF POVERTY What if all of that brain power could be put toward social issues, like finding a way out of poverty? Catalysts for Change, a game initiative put out this past April by the Institute for the Future, is an attempt to do just that. It ran off their popular Foresight Engine, a game platform originally designed by Jane McGonigal to drive insights and innovation through an aggregate of hundreds of mini, 140-character forecasts structured in a fast-paced card game.
COLUMN: AUTOMOBILE REVIEWERS, STUCK IN THE PAST Like many of you, I live in the 21st century, a time when society is recognizing the damage done to the environment through our inattention to the side effects of our technologies. But one specialized niche of the world still lives in the 20th century: those who write the automobile reviews for magazines and newspapers. By Don Norman.
20 YEARS OF KIKKERLAND, Q+A WITH FOUNDER JAN VAN DER LANDE Commemorating their 'Vicennial' anniversary on the occasion of the ICFF, our friends at the Dutch-via-NYC design company share an abridged history. Founder Jan van der Lande was happy to indulge us with the inside scoop on particularly memorable moments of the past two decades, adding a few anecdotes to the comprehensive chronology.
PHOTO GALLERY: NY DESIGN WEEK 2012 The best of NY Design Week 2012. Bright colors, mixed materials, primitive shapes and multi-functional objects permeated the collections we saw at ICFF, WantedDesign and NoHo Design District. A bubbling of satellite shows (including the Core77 Open Exhibition) also injected a new sense of excitement. We especially loved American Design Club's Raw and Unfiltered exhibition, Model Citizens and Matter's Next World Exhibition hosted in a former subway station entrance.

What's the Meaning of Designed in USA? 1. What would qualify such a claim on a package?
Hiding the Mess The only things I've designed for production are small aluminum milled parts in SolidWorks. And we order these by the hundreds, not handful. I am very lost with this one. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start? The boss thinks a curved plastic cover would look cool. I was leaning towards some angular sheet metal. In any case, I wouldn't know how to proceed down either of these paths. I would like to go with something that isn't going to cost big $ up front in tooling..."
