Art Gensler, Founder and Chairman, Gensler LAS VEGAS Once a generation, Las Vegas reinvents itself. In the Rat Pack era, it embraced midcentury modernism. Then, The Mirage and Bellagio remade The Strip as an entertainment resort 12/16/09 destination. Early in this new century, MGM MIRAGE CityCenter Grand Opening envisioned a “city within a city”—a new symbol of Las Vegas that, in the words of CityCenter’s Bobby Baldwin, combines “the vitality of Las Vegas with the experiences tourists seek in great cities around the world.” In 2005, master plan in hand, MGM MIRAGE asked Gensler to join it and make CityCenter a reality. How our team helped reinvent Las Vegas is a case study in design leadership.

  • Linking Design Management Skills and Design Function Organization: an Empirical Study of Spanish and Italian Ceramic Tile Producers
    CASTELLÓN (SPAIN) LINKING DESIGN MANAGEMENT SKILLS AND DESIGN FUNCTION ORGANIZATION: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF SPANISH AND ITALIAN CERAMIC TILE PRODUCERS Ricardo Chiva (1), Joaquín Alegre (2), David Gobert (3), Rafael Lapiedra (1) (1) Universitat Jaume I, (2) Universitat de València, (3) ITC, Universitat Jaume I, ABSTRACT Design management is an increasingly important concept, research into which is very scarce. This paper deals with the fit between design management skills and design function organization, ranging from solely in-house to solely outsourced and including a mixture of the two. We carried out a survey in the Spanish and Italian ceramic tile industry, to which 177 product development managers responded. Our results revealed that companies have different degrees of design management skills depending on the approach to design function organization. Solely in-house design approach companies are the most skilled firms and solely outsourced ones are the least skilled. Despite the fact that the design function has apparently evolved towards outsourcing, this research supports the idea that, under certain conditions, the in-house design department is the best option in order to attain higher degrees of design management skills. Implications of the findings for both academics and practitioners are examined. P.BA - 79 CASTELLÓN (SPAIN) 1. INTRODUCTION In today’s competitive environment, design is becoming increasingly important. Good design, though, does not emerge by accident but as the result of a managed process (Bruce and Bessant, 2002, p. 38). Apart from the development process leading up to the creation of an artifact or product, the concept of design has traditionally involved a series of organizational activities, practices or skills that are required for this development to be achieved (Gorb and Dumas, 1987).

  • Privacy When Form Doesn't Follow Function
    Privacy When Form Doesn’t Follow Function Roger Allan Ford University of New Hampshire [email protected] Privacy When Form Doesn’t Follow Function—discussion draft—3.6.19 Privacy When Form Doesn’t Follow Function Scholars and policy makers have long recognized the key role that design plays in protecting privacy, but efforts to explain why design is important and how it affects privacy have been muddled and inconsistent. Tis article argues that this confusion arises because “design” has many different meanings, with different privacy implications, in a way that hasn’t been fully appreciated by scholars. Design exists along at least three dimensions: process versus result, plan versus creation, and form versus function. While the literature on privacy and design has recognized and grappled (sometimes implicitly) with the frst two dimensions, the third has been unappreciated. Yet this is where the most critical privacy problems arise. Design can refer both to how something looks and is experienced by a user—its form—or how it works and what it does under the surface—its function. In the physical world, though, these two conceptions of design are connected, since an object’s form is inherently limited by its function. Tat’s why a padlock is hard and chunky and made of metal: without that form, it could not accomplish its function of keeping things secure. So people have come, over the centuries, to associate form and function and to infer function from form. Software, however, decouples these two conceptions of design, since a computer can show one thing to a user while doing something else entirely.

Ed. B. Herzogenrath. New York: Editions Rodopi ________________________________________________________ Natasha Dow Schull Oasis/Mirage: Fantasies of Nature in Las Vegas* I had the great fortune of arriving in Las Vegas at dawn in an airplane. It was light enough to see the city and part of the desert, but it was still dark enough so that they hadn't turned the signs off for the day. I never saw such a sight in my life. It looked like an entire city was lurching across the desert. It was an incredible movement! I rented a car and started driving and I saw an extraordinary thing: the horizon, the skyline, was not made of trees and it was not made of buildings. It was all signs. Tom Wolfe (in Stern 1979:11) The towns of the desert end abruptly; they have no surround. And they have about them something of the mirage, which may vanish at any instant. You have only to see Las Vegas, sublime Las Vegas, rise in its entirety from the desert at nightfall bathed in phosphorescent lights, and return to the desert when the sun rises, after exhausting its intense, superficial energy all night long, still more intense in the first light of dawn, to understand the secret of the desert and the signs to be found there: a spellbinding discontinuity, an all-enveloping, intermittent radiation. Jean Baudrillard (1989:127) Almost everyone notes that there is no “time” in Las Vegas, no night and no day and no past and no future; neither is there any logical sense of where one is.

  • Strategic Approach to Product Design and Development Process, And
    İşletme Fakültesi Dergisi, Cilt 8, Sayı 1, 2007, 43-67 STRATEGIC APPROACH TO PRODUCT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, AND EFFECTIVENESS OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN PRACTICES Aykut Berber *, İbrahim Aksel ** ABSTRACT Emerging economies face international competition and moreover, similar technology applies to organizations in the relevant industry. Therefore companies must strive to keep their market positions or create new business opportunities. Novel and innovative strategies are required in either case, which depends on differentiation in the market. Recognized as a value for sustainable competitive advantage and commercial success, industrial design (ID) has an essential role. This paper proposes that strategic approach to product design and development process is beneficial for the effectiveness of ID practices. Context of the research in the study is divided into two sections. The first section derived from a study previously conducted in Poland and aimed to observe whether Turkish companies recognized ID as a strategic tool for differentiation. A comparison of the results was made with the results obtained in Poland. The second section of the research context focuses on Turkish companies. To explore how strategic approach to product design and development process impacts on ID practices; factors and hypotheses were generated through principal components analysis prior to regression analysis to analyze the relationship. 198 companies from textile, furniture, and home appliances industries took part in the research. Major indications of the research show that strategic effect of teamwork has a central role in effective ID practices. Keywords: Industrial Design, Strategic Innovation, Product Development ÜRÜN TASARIM VE GELİŞTİRME SÜRECİNE STRATEJİK YAKLAŞIM VE ENDÜSTRİYEL TASARIM FAALİYETLERİNİN ETKİNLİĞİ ÖZET Gelişmekte olan ekonomilerdeki işletmeler, hiç kuşkusuz bir yandan uluslararası rekabet koşullarıyla öte yandan aynı alanda faaliyet gösteren diğer işletmelerin aynı teknolojiyi kullanmasının yaygınlaşmasıyla mücadele etmek durumundadır.

  • Design Leadership Skills Questioning the Difference Between Design Leadership and Generic Leadership in SME Manufacturing Organisations
    Design leadership skills Questioning the difference between design leadership and generic leadership in SME manufacturing organisations Author: Jennifer Alnelind & Cecilia Alvén Supervisor: Olle Duhlin Examiner: Lars Lindkvist Date: Spring 14 Subject: Thesis Level: Master (60hp) Course code: 4FE66E Abstract Title: Design leadership skills - Questioning the difference between design leadership and generic leadership in SME manufacturing organisations Authors: Jennifer Alnelind & Cecilia Alvén Supervisor: Olle Duhlin Examiner: Lars Lindkvist Course: 4FE66E, Företagsekonomi IV, examensarbete, 15 hp Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe and develop what set of skills a design leader require and if these differentiate them from the generic leader in SME organisations. Theory: The themes and concepts we have based the research on is first and foremost design leadership and skills. We have utilised studies by for example: Miller and Moultrie (2013), Joziasse (2011), Turner (2013) and Mumford et al. (2007) in order to develop an extensive theoretical framework. Methodology: We have approach this research in a deductive and qualitative manner through a descriptive and somewhat exploratory design. We have conducted six semi-structured interviews with leaders at manufacturing SME organisations in ‘Småland’. Conclusion: Through this research we have established a set of skills that a design leader requires in manufacturing SME organisations. In conclusion we found that the design leader requires well developed generic leadership skills in form of; learn/adapt, speak (convey information), listen (attentive), motivate, inspire, analyse, manage, problem solve, project manage, observe, plan and apprise as well as design specific skills; draw, synthesize, envision-imagine-visualise, edit, design and employ technology. We also identified the difference between the design leader and generic leader, whereby we found a slight difference, even though most generic leaders interviewed utilise aspects of design leadership due to positions interlinking.
