Group Discussion

One of my newest discoveries, was learning about to manifestos: First Things First Manifesto 2000 http://www.art-omma.org/NEW/past_issues/theory/ and Incomplete Manifesto for Growth (Bruce Mau) http://umcf.umn.edu/events/past/04nov-manifesto.pdf

These two manifestos had to be read and understood in order to formulate a team discussion, whereby we were able to state what it is these manifestos meant or portrayed.

Here is the discussion on the first manifesto "First Things First Manifesto 2000", the manifesto is based on the fact that designers are under appreciated and that people think that there is nothing to designing and that it can be done quickly without any thought behind it. I mean they don't actually understand how important designers are. Fundamentally designers add meaning to every aspect of every day existence. Therefore without designers, there would be no colour in the world around us.

Here is the discussion on the second manifesto "Incomplete Manifesto for Growth (Bruce Mau)", based on our understanding of the manifesto, we have identified the idealistic behind it, was to create a statematic point about the way designers should live and what they should or should'nt do in order to attain a good lifestyle.
