It’s Different, the theme proposed by the Architectural League for Young Architects + Designers for the 2011 competition on view at Parsons The New School for Design, asked the question: what is the new role for designers?
The winning answers from architects and designers 10 years or less out of school range in provocative and pragmatic views on technology, natural resources and dynamic structures.
It’s Different fantasizes about perforated pavilions designed to react to temperatures from Thermaespheres by Jason Kelly Johnson and Nataly Gattegno while Kiel Moe of Boston echos lower rustic technology but for higher performance. And designers from form-ula and NAMELESS use creative symbolism to advocate earth’s fragile ecosystem.
