Anyone who models things in some way is a designer. Which is why nowadays we even talk about design in rela­ tion to customising technical or production processes. But usually the term refers to an object’s aesthetic quali­ ties. Our current definition of design developed with the progression of industrial production in the 19th Century. Mass art While furniture, cutlery and textiles used to be individually manufactured to order, prototypes now had to be produced for serial production. Manufacturers commissioned artists to ensure that the now unknown customers would actually like their products: They designed lamps, chairs or kitchen appliances to satisfy consumer taste. The creativity of craftsmen, architects, engineers and theatrical experts also had a great impact on the design of industrially manu­ factured everyday objects. As pioneers, the first designers were guided by the fa mil iar, the historic. But the new style of manufacturing demanded its own forms. The “Journal of Design” appeared in Great Britain in the middle of the 19th Century. Amongst others, the publisher Henry Cole critically addressed the issue of modern design and initiated an international exhi­ bition of products. Consequently, in addition to the retro­ spective ideals, there were early efforts to grasp industrial production as a new artistic design challenge. What makes premium products so desirable? A decisive influence upon this new direction was ex­ Cutting-edge technology, service and, in- erted by the Weimar Bauhaus, which can be credited with creas ingly, design. A glimpse into a world being the first school that offered a higher education for that is playing a growing role in the global artist­designers in a modern manner, being founded in 1919. Industrial design started with Bauhaus: simple, aes­ economy. thetically pleasing, basic forms that could be manufactured serially by machines. They dictated the style of the New Objectivity movement. Today, this steel frame based resi­ dential design with its clear lines is referred to as “modern classic”. ■ Hotel Dar Hi in Nefta, Tunisia, by Matali Crasset. An artistic synthesis of design and architecture, environmentally sophisticated with regional materials, and constructed by local craftspeople. 4 Logwin Magazine 02|1 2 www.logwin-logistics.com 5 focus — design Differentiation A second vital stimulus for modifying design emerged from the USA at the same time. Because of mass production, there was an oversupply of comparable consumer goods. Design now became a competitive factor: the more attractive the form and colour, the greater the commercial suc­ cess. The signifi cance of design as a diff erentiating factor increased, and industrial design as a profession was born. As one of the fi rst companies to do so, the automotive manufacturer General Motors established the department “Art and Colour” as early as 1926, promoting sales through attractive styling – “Good Design Is Good Business” was coined as a motto. At the same time as design was increasing in importance, people became more conscious of brands. Not only the products, but also the public image of a company now embodied potentially unmistakable features. Today, corporate design is an indispensable part of brands and companies: It lift s their public profi le and boosts recognition. In times when branded products such as cars, sports shoes and handbags are status symbols, this is an important aspect of sales.

    ROZPRAWY NAUKOWE Akademii Wychowania Fizycznego we Wrocławiu 2019, 65, 1–15 Julia Anna Jastrząbek Poznań University of Economics and Business THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN POST-SOCIALIST CITIEs – a rEAL goAL OR DISTANT FUTURE? CASE STUDIES OF CRACOW AND ALMATY The collapse of the Soviet Union has led to historical transitions in Central and Eastern Europe. The political and economic transformation in countries located in this world’s region has caused their dynamic socioeconomic development and more stable position on the international stage. Regarding the potential of hosting the Olympic Games as an opportunity for infrastructural im- provements, employment boost, and presentation of a positive image and traditions of a country, post-Soviet cities have entered the race for staging Olympic events. The main aim of this article is to analyse the bidding process for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games with an emphasis on case studies from two bidding cities with post-socialist history – Cracow and Almaty. Characteristic patterns and features of both cities’ bids, as well as differences between them are drawn, with conclusions on why these were unsuccessful. Cracow and Almaty’s bid paths in the 2022 Winter Olympics process were different. Cracow pulled out from the race during the applicant phase because of referendum results: the city residents were against the Olympics, while Almaty reached the final phase and lost to Beijing in final voting. It seems that post-socialist countries still have a weaker bargaining position in the bidding process than candidates with advanced and estab- lished economies. Key words: Winter Olympic Games, mega-events, post-socialist cities, political economy INTRODUCTION Since the disintegration process of the Eastern Bloc was accomplished, many new independent countries or those which regained their sovereignty lost after the Second World War have appeared on the world map.

  • Local Government and Economic Development in Kazakhstan By
    Local Government and Economic Development in Kazakhstan by Madina Junussova A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Policy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2017 Madina Junussova ABSTRACT The main objective of this dissertation is to understand the role of local government in economic development, with a focus on the cities and regions selected by the national government of Kazakhstan to be the drivers of national economic development by the Regional Development Program 2020. The dissertation presents three studies based on qualitative assessment of locally obtained evidence and locally produced data. The first essay examines administrative decentralization and studies how the Almaty city and Almaty region governments failed to use delegated urban planning for the management of urban development. The second essay challenges the fiscal system by exploring how the Almaty and Astana governments struggled to use national transfers provided for the implementation of national projects. The third essay focuses on political decentralization reforms and assesses the capabilities of elected representatives from Almaty, Astana, Shymkent and Aktobe city governments in managing urban transport based on public needs. Together, these three case studies provide a broader picture for understanding the productivity of the implemented administrative, fiscal and political reforms. It argues that the absence of a functioning decentralization strategy is leading to unexpected development outcomes and a lowering of public trust in local and national governments. The main contribution of the three studies is that they allow identification of key institutional weaknesses and obstacles faced by local governments in the management of local development in Kazakhstan.
