NoDesign

Why is it open questioning by the models of success such as the Apple, iPhone, iPad. Proponents of open innovation have they forgotten something?

Designer Jean-Louis Frechin, founder and teacher at NoDesign ENSCI (Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle), introduced the concept of digital design.

I am publishing with his permission, a text written by Philippe Aigrain in 1985. This text calls for the creation of a software design and taking into account the general public in providing software. At the base of digital , this call remains tragically relevant, when we analyze our difficulty in addressing the public in French technology offers product / service consumption. (This article was originally published in the journal South axis, No. April-May-June 1985)

That says

(Update) An interesting article from Alice Rawsthorn on the British National Design. The icons across the Channel is among the best. They sign their perfect season of conception and are perfectly territory and Great Britain. Jonathan Glancey architecture critic of the Guardian replied here in an interesting essay. For Glancey English designers are always as good and even better. What has changed is our world, became a merchant and our lifestyles. Glancey added that to find good British design, it must now go buy it in stores. for better or for worse sometimes. At the time, or one that speaks in public design, office design, design of public service, whose English was one of the developers or the "buzz makers. However, I find that the connection of our Emeritus criticism is a bit short. Our social life and our public spaces have always need signs, customs and service identity. The commodification of public services and the historic arrival of the marketing image in these areas has a high value product identity around the world from mediocrity proportional to the budgets spent. And in among gallic? It is remarkable that our neighbors Overseas polémiquent handle two titles and is launching a controversy over strategic issues. This controversy is another flavor if we debate this matter in France or Paris or non existent. An example to illustrate our practices! SNCF in the 70s working with Louis Dandrel (sound signature), Roger Talon (Design of the car coral), Peter Keller (graphic identity). The Corail coach asked the standard modern intercity train (pre-TGV). This design took 30 years and is a public utility, commercial and aesthetic identity but also transport services of the hexagon and an image of France. (An agricultural plain, a few trees, cows and a train Norman). Just as strong as the English phone booth. I recall that the train is a mobile infrastructure components and exceptionally strong identity (lez TGV, Coral, Capitol red, etc. ....). Today, the SNCF is soupoudrage, sticker, and a logo that would not have the average first year of BTS. The sonic identity became an advertising jingle. The whole forms a visual stew shameful but mostly unmanaged, without vision or direction. Stations are smart, SNCF has an exceptional grasp of the subject through his architecture firm AREP integrated. But the SNCF has no vision and design identity. I'm not nostalgic. It must change, must change. But spending talent as "Talon Keller" to concepts of communication "inhuman", and disembodied "aculturelles. this does not work and leads to what we see today. Of course, we will oppose it has been tested and that is what people chose. Practice, this avoids having an opinion, a vision and a clear proposal. It is our way not to build an identity and suffer the result. When Andre Malraux Paris is clean, he has done more than anyone for the identity of the capital. No one believes now back. The objects and things that we share in the public space is one approach and consequence. We can not let logic has no single crop or market oriented. A word to the English and thank you for opening the debate.

Daniel Kaplan Fing calls beneficial to the creation of a Parisian FabLab. I had the chance to participate and co-organizing a Workhop with Waag Society , at Future in Seine. Waag is the representative of European FabLabs from MIT in Europe Some thoughts that bind me to the concept of FabLabs.
