We just found out that Philip will be on campus next week and have partnered with the Stanford Center for Image Systems Engineering to set up a talk! Philip brings 20 years of experience in the fashion industry to his specialist field of research, which is in the convergence of fashion design and technology, regularly collaborating with international experts in the fields of human, material and computer sciences to develop new approaches to design thinking and practice. He has worked with 3D printing for a decade in the field of fashion and mass customization. He has recently exhibited work in Milan, London, Hong Kong and Stockholm and is a regular commentator and author, most recently published in “High Heels: Fashion, Femininity & Seduction” pub. Thames & Hudson, on the creative use of 3D Printing in fashion footwear.<br /><br />This talk describes the uptake of 3D Rapid Prototyping technology into the fashion industries and presents case studies in fashion and sports footwear using components which have been laser sintered in Titanium and Polyamide. Increasing uptake of digital manufacturing into industry, combined with improved build speed, finish and size has allowed for greater flexibility in production of low volume, customized and bespoke products. The presentation also describes the innovation potential for these technologies to cross domains, and suggests that their creative exploration by designers may be the key to developing new market opportunities.<div>

Pete Nelson is the co-founder of The Treehouse Workshop in Seattle, Washington. Pete designed his first treehouse while in high school and though it was never built, the foundations were laid for his future work. Pete established The Treehouse Workshop in 1997 and has designed and built treehouses all over the United States as well as in Japan, Spain, and Morocco. His creations range from small structures that serve as play spaces for kids to full-scale homes and educational facilities. Each treehouse is a unique structure that must fit the living trees that support it and leave room for them to move and grow. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
Pete is also an active educator and evangelist for treehouses. The Treehouse Workshop provides specialty hardware and offers courses in treehouse design and construction. In addition, Pete has written five books on treehouses, treehouse construction, and treehouse living.</div>

Kalman's work has frequented the covers of the New Yorker, most notably an illustration called New Yorkistan, which depicts the boroughs of New York City with neighborhoods named with their cultural descriptors (e.g. "Central Parkistan" and "Botoxia.") The New York Times has been home to Kalman's illustrated storytelling column including the current "And the Pursuit of Happiness" and the former "Principles of Uncertainty," which has been published in book form. She has authored 12 books for children (or fresh-minded adults) and brought to life a illustrated version of Strunk and White's foundational "Elements of Style."<br /><br />Beyond the printed page, Maira and her late husband Tibur Kalman have brought their singular perspective to the design of watches, clocks, and accessories under the name M&Co, which are currently distributed by the Museum of Modern Art.<br /><br />In addition to her continued contribution to print, Maira Kalman teaches graduate Design at the School of Visual Arts and is the cofounder and member of the Rubber Band Society, a group sharing a love for rubber bands. <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />GENEVIEVE BELL</span><br />MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9TH, 6:00PM in <a href="http://campus-map.stanford.edu/index.cfm?ID=01-320">Braun Hall (Bldg. 320)</a> Room 105<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqrc4SautOoUlbQKGf_G8-C3OKsy-j7PP_33vUp-Dg_oWjjhdZrhK0lMFfymQjCbcp01V0BefNH-NPTJt_Tak9xsWFrRG-0rV_o23afWdHOGKmR05SZdUnFGC6Z6_0PmyLJjlqQeAuEtk/s1600-h/GenevieveBell_Intel.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 223px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqrc4SautOoUlbQKGf_G8-C3OKsy-j7PP_33vUp-Dg_oWjjhdZrhK0lMFfymQjCbcp01V0BefNH-NPTJt_Tak9xsWFrRG-0rV_o23afWdHOGKmR05SZdUnFGC6Z6_0PmyLJjlqQeAuEtk/s400/GenevieveBell_Intel.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389176884440713122" /></a><br /><br />Named one of the top 50 most creative people in Business (Fast Company,) Genevieve Bell is an Intel Fellow and director of the User Experience Group within the Intel Digital Home Group.<br /><br />Bell joined Intel in 1998 and has come to lead an R&D team of social scientists, interaction designers and human factors engineers to drive human-centric product innovation in Intel's consumer electronics business.

Dr. Cagan is the <span style="font-weight: bold;">director of <a href="http://www.mpd.cmu.edu/">Carnegie Mellon University's graduate program in Product Development</a></span> and a distinguished professor in the department of Mechanical Engineering. Cagan has written two fantastic books on the topic of product development: <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.amazon.com/Creating-Breakthrough-Products-Innovation-Financial/dp/0139696946/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b">Creating Breakthrough Products</a> and <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.amazon.com/Design-Things-Come-Ordinary-Extraordinary/dp/0131860828/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240885694&sr=8-1">The Design of Things to Come</a>. Both books skillfully navigate the arc from the fuzzy front end of product development all the way up to program approval. The texts also bridge the chasm between qualitative and quantitative values in a way that is actually understandable.

This talk will present studies in both of these areas. From the perspective of how designers create innovative solutions, we will look at a series of cognitive studies that uncover how designers utilize both useful and misleading information while carrying open goals of unsolved design problems. From the perspective of the person using the product, emotion plays a critical role. We will examine new methods to capture aesthetic preferences and agent-based computational tools that use those preferences to guide generation of preferred design forms. </span>d.goligorskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05780941340832559172noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752835380117879617.post-72950357491824998242009-04-25T20:21:00.000-07:002009-04-25T21:22:04.354-07:00Liu Lecture No. 51: Andy Spade<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9JIRpU0PcK_Kjci6DimNwg9BccQQr-CS2EV7arVhdschoZVK0gHakgmHnfng7Gofr1Qio1XgEI3rsyREondyXe80Hd7pb-Qr4jyM9chlhrBRB-S3NCk0NiF7NOn6maBHwWsw8vxHO_38/s1600-h/AndySpadeLiuLecture.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9JIRpU0PcK_Kjci6DimNwg9BccQQr-CS2EV7arVhdschoZVK0gHakgmHnfng7Gofr1Qio1XgEI3rsyREondyXe80Hd7pb-Qr4jyM9chlhrBRB-S3NCk0NiF7NOn6maBHwWsw8vxHO_38/s320/AndySpadeLiuLecture.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328835451148941442" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Andy Spade at the Stanford Design Loft<br />Chatting with the graduate students before the talk<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;">Thank you to everyone who made it out for Andy Spade's talk!

He's the branding and marketing man behind Kate Spade and Jack Spade (the companies that he and his wife created.) He has also been tapped to design the experiences of a number of companies including Delta's Song Airlines and J. Crew retail experiment The Liquor Store. Spade's latest project is Partners & Spade. It includes a highly conceptual retail experience in downtown Manhattan. Beyond all these business ventures, Spade is heavily involved in the art world. He is a patron to emerging artists, co-owner of a gallery, and curator of several exhibitions. Spade's projects merge emotional branding, experience design, brilliant collaboration, and always a touch of surrealism.<br /><br /><b>Dr. Jonathan Cagan will be speaking on Monday, May 4th.</b> Dr. Cagan is a co-director of the Masters in Product Development program at Carnegie Mellon and also the co-director for the school's Center for Product Strategy and Innovation.

Dr. Cagan is the author of two books: Creating Breakthrough Products (co-authored with Craig Vogel), and The Design of Things to Come (co-authored with Peter Boatwright and Craig Vogel). He has consulted with a variety of small and large companies in diverse areas on product development, brand strategy, and strategic planning. He is co-founder and chief technologist of DesignAdvance Systems, Inc., a company focused on developing CAD software for the early synthesis processes. Cagan teaches New Product Development at Carnegie Mellon and runs executive training sessions in small and large companies.<br /><br /><b>Alex Wipperfürth will be speaking on Thursday, May 21st.</b> Wipperfürth is a partner at Dial House in San Francisco. He is the author of <i>Brand Hijack</i>, and the upcoming <i>The Co-Creation Myth</i> and <i>The Fringe Manifesto</i>. Dial House is part think-tank and part creative hot shop. The client list is diverse: from fringe (Napster, Doc Martens, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Jones Soda, Red Stripe, Altoids) to cutting edge (Current TV, New Yorker Magazine) to blue chip (Diageo, IBM, P&G/Clorox, Toyota, Coca-Cola). Projects range from innovative strategy, innovative research, meaningful creative expressions with DIY production to brand innovation. In earlier work, Wipperfürth had interviewed actual cult members and people in "consumer cults" (like Apple or Harley-Davidson fanatics) and made fascinating insights about their similarities.<br /><b><br /></b>d.goligorskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05780941340832559172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752835380117879617.post-14587862308696564932009-03-28T17:58:00.000-07:002009-03-28T18:08:59.873-07:00Liu Lecture No. 50: Stefan SagmeisterMarch 5th, 2008.<br />Sagmeister, Inc.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyQhB6wXC3SiukHWcLYzze0fxxxQiyuyaEwbGoQDSB6EGwpCuwM1Q1kZt0XrLSe-q_scqvtFN2_yE8F54PMNABAhlP9AdzrWzMK9Y7hjlwg9ORj58AlsnsZmdZoqukbFKlv1_PuQJSuYg/s1600-h/Sagmeister.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 295px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyQhB6wXC3SiukHWcLYzze0fxxxQiyuyaEwbGoQDSB6EGwpCuwM1Q1kZt0XrLSe-q_scqvtFN2_yE8F54PMNABAhlP9AdzrWzMK9Y7hjlwg9ORj58AlsnsZmdZoqukbFKlv1_PuQJSuYg/s400/Sagmeister.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318409764155179442" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><span style="font-style: italic;">poster design by Andreas Brændhaugen</span></div><br />Stefan Sagmeister is one of the most influential graphic designers in the world working today.
