displaying futures - Seamless Transitions - Hardcover

Building bridges, creating networks - such are our tasks in the context of Displaying Futures . We are neither archi­­­­tects nor IT specialists. But we are involved in buil­­­ding and shaping the future. We recognize that the complexity of the global markets in which we operate requires innov­ations that can scarcely be achieved via conventional channels. Which is why we have expanded our radius of activity. Joining forces with our clients as well as creative heads from a wide range of disciplines we have embarked on a path to conquer new terrain. We began in fall 2011 in the center of Tokyo, where we had been invited to the German ambassador s residence. Here, under the title Perceptions we initiated a dialog between our clients and renowned experts from design, architecture and science including Ryue Nishizawa, co-founder of the prize-winning architectural firm SANAA in Tokyo, Stefan Diez, one of the most sought-after German designers with his own design studio in Munich, and Stefan Karp, who established the owner-managed design studio ma ma Interactive System Design in Frankfurt/Main, and could also be persuaded to join the 2012 symposium in Taipei. Entitled Seamless Transitions from urbanity to products , it was the continuation of Displaying Futures on Asian terrain. Underlying the Displaying Futures concept is the aim of bringing together experts from different areas and ­enabling them to design a future vision from their own ­respective perspectives. The initiative seeks to enable a lively, interdis­ciplinary dialog and supply inspiring ideas on the future characteristics, requirements and applications of displays as a fertile basis for the future competitiveness of all those involved.
