NY Design Week 2013: SVA Products of Design's ALSO! Project Offers a New Perspective on WantedDesign
All photos by Kathryn McElroy
It's been quite a year for the MFA candidates in the School of Visual Arts' Products of Design program, not least because the first-year students are also the first ever students in the fledgling program. This past weekend, the first half of their graduate studies culminated with ALSO!, a winsome design intervention at WantedDesign, which the tight-knit cohort of 16 students realized in the three weeks leading up to NY Design Week. They'd originally developed the concept for Sinclair Smith's five-week Design Performance studio intensive, and the NYCxDesign festival (which wrapped up just two days ago) was a felicitous opportunity for them to put their studies into practice.
Through a roving set of mobile interventions, visitors to the show participate in an unfolding narrative around celebration, sustainability, digital mediation, storytelling and scale, each expanding the conversation around design beyond form, function and materiality.
Broadly speaking, each of the six stations (two wearable, three carts and a single immobile station) offered a different perspective on not only the work on view at WantedDesign but also one's fellow attendees and the venue itself. From the uniforms—white short-sleeve button-down (with the logo emblazoned across the back), dark denim, white plimsols and orange socks—to the seamlessly constructed equipment, which remain as the tangible artifacts of the experience, the students crafted a thoughtfully executed body...

Working out of the Box is a series of features presenting architects who have applied their architecture backgrounds to alternative career paths.
In this installment, we're talking with Larraine Henning. Larraine graduated with a Master in Architecture degree, but has opted for a non-traditional career as a nomadic, independent designer / illustrator / photographer. Larraine is currently seeking funding for A Practical Guide to Squatting on Indiegogo.
Are you an architect working out of the box? Do you know of someone that has changed careers and has an interesting story to share? If you would like to suggest an (ex-)architect, please send us a message.

Architect and furniture designer Florence Knoll Bassett (neé Schust) was a modern woman on many levels, and definitely way ahead of her time career-wise. Born in 1917 and orphaned at age twelve, she showed an early interest in architecture. Her appointed guardians enrolled her at Kingswood, an all girls’ boarding school on the campus of Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, MI. While still in high school, she befriended Finnish architect and industrial designer Eero Saarien who was teaching at Cranbrook. The Saarien family welcomed young Florence into their family and acted as mentors throughout her life.

Knoll Design via their PinterestFlorence went on to college at Cranbrook where she encountered Ray and Charles Eames and designer Henry Bertoia. Her later professors included Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, Modernism master Marcel Breuer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the icon Ludwig Mies van der Rohe at the Illinois Institute of Technology, where she completed her bachelor’s degree. Her solid background, world-renown mentors, and A-list connections permitted a seamless move to New York where she mets Hans Knoll, her future husband and business partner.
