What do you get when you combine a Pritzker, a Fan and a Handbag? It has been called everything from “genius” to “commercialization gone awry” to a “Star Trek –style spacecraft.” Whether you love or hate it, the 7.500 square foot epicenter where architecture, art and fashion collide is landing in Central Park in October.

DMD set out on the first of our summer outings yesterday. We took a tour of the architecture and design galleries at MoMA lead by Christian Larsen, curatorial assistant. Recharged, we are now making a once a month outing as a team over the summer. More on the power of escape, what we saw (and heard) after the jump.

Hospitality Design Expo happens every year in Las Vegas. This year, though, it has been placed on the same week as American Institute Of Architects in Boston, and the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in NYC. So our team has been in full-blown trade show mode, not sipping, but gulping down design. Here is what the media is saying so far, a round-up, round-up if you will allow me.

I did not attend Interaction 08 conference, but luckily they posted all the videos. I've been enjoying watching these on planes and trains, and discovered that boring users may inspire action, pacing in storytelling can create engagement, and that users don't want to click. But you have to click here if you want to see my takeaways and the videos.

Tree Hugger which gets very excited
