Massive Change response paper, due next class, Feb. 20th
“The Massive Change Project explores the legacy and potential, the promise and power of design in improving the welfare of humanity.� (from the Massive change web site: http://www.massivechange.com)
For this week’s written assignment I’d like you all to research Bruce Mau and Bruce Mau design. Look up the online exhibition of “Massive Change�: and consider the themes of the exhibition as well as the ones we read in the exhibition at Rapson Hall---manufactured housing, the legal system, and sustainability. Can you take one of these themes (either from the exhibit in Rapson Hall or from the online exhibition) and relate it a contemporary issue in Minnesota or in the Twin Cities. In what way could design be used locally to improve “the welfare of humanity�? What improvements are needed?
Write a response to this including a short description of Bruce Mau (who he is and what the “Massive Change� project is all about), followed by relating an aspect of life in Minnesota: Typed double space approx 350 to 500 words.
