Tippelzone Revised

Louise Schouwenberg

Source 04 presents research and design proposals concerning the issue of drugrelated prostitution in Eindhoven, Holland. At the request of the City of Eindhoven, the Design Academy’s Master’s Degree Program, IM, researched a designated prostitution area in the Woensel West district and created alternatives. In 2003, to combat problems generated by drug-related street prostitution, the city established a tolerance zone or tippelzone. It helped. Public disturbances were reduced, care for prostitutes improved and the area became safer. The city, however, does not wish to continue facilitating prostitution. They also hope to offer the women other alternatives to help them escape their dependency on drugs and pimps. This requires creative and, most of all, unorthodox solutions. Source 04 includes research, essays and photographic documentation by visiting scholars, professors and student, of the resulting design proposals.

Designing Global Choices

Louise Schouwenberg

The worldwide trade in consumer goods has resulted in a uniformity of supply, threatening the survival of local traditions.

Designers can play an important role in the discovery of new possibilities, according to this fascinating book from the IM Masters program at the prestigious Design Academy in Eindhoven. The multi-ethnic student population investigated traditional techniques from their own home countries and formulated design proposals that would give these techniques and traditions a place in our time.

STATIC!

Designing for Energy Awareness

Ramia Mazé

The product of a Swedish Interactive Institute symposium, this engrossing reader asks us to re-think the form and future of electricity. Though much of our modern lifestyle is powered by electricity, the energy itself is largely invisible, and today its economic and environmental costs require us to think again about how we use it and waste it. With a thought-provoking collection of texts, drawings, photos, schematics and charts, this book explores how the design process can increase awareness of energy, re-interpreting familiar furnishings and products to make the use of electricity more visible. Grounded in passion and humor, rigor and research, the book asks designers and consumers – that is, all of us – to look at the future of energy use in a new way.
