Platform 12
The ambition of Platform 12 is to examine the reintegration of design with function. Design is not only about entertainment, where obsession with the latest fad or the predominance of individual genius far exceeds commitment to the collective effort that is needed to construct a new landscape for industrial design. Platform 12 attempts to achieve a better balance – whereby design can be seen as communication, a celebration of a model for how things work, where once again we can treat function as beauty, instead of merely treating design as form and image.
