Dwell Conversations
April 24, 2009
Aaron Britt and a panel of thought-leaders in design gathered at the Autodesk Gallery at One Market to discuss how the story of America is intrinsically tied to the story of our stuff. From cars to clothes to refrigerators that simulate the Arctic better than, well, the Arctic, we as a culture love our objects. But as economic and environmental tides shift, we're faced with the fact that we simply can't continue as we have been. You might rightly argue that we've designed our way into this mess, but can we design our way out? This conversation touches on how we relate to the objects in our lives, how they shape the world around us, and what we can do about it.
