An interesting interview on icon magazine about the actual situation in design education.
Read it here.

"These are some of the opinions aired at a round table discussion hosted recently by icon and Nesta – the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts. The purpose of the discussion was to hear the views of design professionals who scoured last summer’s degree shows, talent spotting for Nesta’s Graduate Pioneer Programme. We expected a bit of moaning about the quality of some of the work they saw, but we didn’t expect such widespread criticism of the education system and the triviality of contemporary design."

Bussiness Week is running a nice feature on design consulting firm IDEO and about the power of design in general.

This is another collection of sustainable cardboard design. The authors are young designers from the Design department of the University of Duisburg-Essen.
It seems that this kind of thinking is returning to get more popular.
Probably there is some hope fore mankind...

In Rome in the house of architecture, there is an interersting exposition about sustainable design with cardboard by known authors like Frank O. Gehry and others, but also young designers from the Department of Architecture "Ludovico Quaroni" of "La Sapienza" University of Rome.
