Say hello to the Human Skull of a Graphic Designer. A 15-part, 1/2 scale (for half the cognition) plastic model kit that comes with every copy of The Life and Death of the Human Soul of Design. A reminder of what is at stake when designers surrender creative authority to A.I. and stop asking why. Assemble it. Take it apart. Then read the book. The Life and Death of the Human Soul of Design is available for pre-order at Basheer Graphic Books. #humansoulofdesign
I will be at Basheer graphic on the 18th April 3pm for a talk on The Life and Death of the Human Soul of Design. Pre-orders are now open. Contact @basheergraphic to reserve your copy.
The project benefits from the extensive research conducted by Fondazione Prada in close collaboration with Rem Koolhaas and Giulio Margheri, Associate Architect at OMA. The expertise of Sietske Fransen, Max Planck Research Group Leader, Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck Institute for Art History, was instrumental.
As stated by Rem Koolhaas, “In my view, the diagram has been an almost permanent tool. For example, in the early stages of our research, we discovered three-dimensional diagrams from South Africa dating back to 40,000 BCE, as well as wood-carved maps of the Greenlandic coastline made on the island of Ammassalik. This demonstrates that the diagram is an enduring form of communication that adapts to whatever medium exists at the time. Regardless of the medium, a diagram serves didactic (explanatory) or suggestive (persuasive) purposes. This means that it not only exists by default in any new medium but can also be applied to virtually any area of human life. Fashion, religion, or the history of social inequality can be interpreted as a diagram. I deeply enjoy this interdisciplinary aspect of the diagram, its invariable attribute—its independence from language (words) makes it one of the most effective forms of representation.”#basheergraphicbooks #singaporearchitect #malaysianarchitect #arsitekjakarta #arsitekindonesia
