the notion of public space for jurgen habernas, historian, was formed in France and England from the 18th century, after the newspaper, lounge and coffee

is a space between privacy and the monarchical state which is still in place is by the bourgeoisie, rising class that needs to keep abreast of how state, changes in credit and economic developments, and also to know and convey their reactions to promote itself

this posture was erased when the state was no longer satisfied to arbitrate and intervened increasingly in administering services and in economic activities and when the public media have become the receptacles of opinion, playing more on emotion than on collective development of thinking and information sharing, obeying the incentives of advertising and advertisers / it the journey takes us through Thierry Paquot


who owns public space and what is the role of the designer?

other countries and European help us find an answer
in Japan, compared to public / private status overrides / person, and the passage of domestic space to the joint space is achieved by a series of Overlapping successive terrace, corridor, alley and passage
in the Arab world, the term public space does not exist / the street is an area fraught with dangers that we protect ourselves by making the blind house, and privatization of public the private / public areas, terraces, stalls /

occurs naturally as much history / the Middle Ages, the street is a place of contact, in the classical period, it is a performance space, the industrial revolution, space traffic and, today, a space of connections and networks

since 1980, public space has become plural: public spaces /
after the common space shared by all, "the street and place have become forms of urbanity but are not the basic element that connects these locations together / street facilitates the meeting, but it can also refuse, "according to Jean Rémy, sociologist

indicates the plural as the power given by the multiplicity of decision makers that the gradual disappearance of the single image and the monopoly of the sovereign state

public spaces have become places of multiple expressions, where each decision maker expresses his tastes, his culture, his training and his intentions, for better and sometimes for worse cases, like many of our outings City

is an individual, that Be it shopping, trustee of building, industrial or elected official who chooses the color of the facade of his shop, the model of its balconies, the architecture of its plants, the design of its nuclear waste containers and the logo of his city

facing him, facing her, is also an individual, the designer who will design the shapes, colors and materials, street furniture, traffic in public areas of light and temperature

insights regarding the financing of furniture, it also fits into the modern / each search and find solutions, such as garden plants in Paris, which finances the creation, manufacture and installation of its furniture / benches, trash cans, planters, water fountains and signage / By the call to private sponsorship
everyone can become a donor today's garden plants
through 1800 euros for a single bed and 3 600 for a double bed, the donor may choose the location for its furniture, with a recognition plaque bearing his name and a brief message of his choice

street furniture tells its time, its design, by its forms and materials, as well as its financing and the steps undertaken for the installation, which are also now, often the designer is well

/ designer and story teller is relay / relay between the private and public, between the individual and the collective and / story teller / he tells the story of the strata of the past, changes in our diets and our body / bigger, fatter, heavier / our aspirations / recyclable materials / facilities and developments decisions among state, local and civil society

What Does The Old Ohio Drivers License Look Like

What we missing / Anne-Marie Buille


An air of lament pervades everywhere before the overflow of objects around us "Too many objects, too much material without raises the important question of relevance," said Philippe Starck.
"In the middle of our human history, resolutely political, Philippe Starck urges us to become smarter collectively, to mobilize the intelligence of the social and symbolic values to defend and define creative new ways to" engage the right action moment. "
At this time, he said, the only object still acceptable must prevail will be where its political representation, economic reality that reflects and its ecological dimension.
What's in our future, beyond our disappointment, before the showcase of all that we offer our consumerist Industrial Society.
To restart the machine to innovate, "reconnect with enthusiasm, joyously learning to reinvent the future, what are we missing it?
That is the essence of the problem, the engine of desire has seized.
Desire is the essence of man, says Spinoza, but, unfortunately for him, a long philosophical tradition was inextricably linked to the lack, marketing and conquering new markets did the rest. Bernard Stiegler

developing very powerful state of asphyxiated desire of our societies. He accuses
hyperconsumériste system of capitalism that, by dint of having misappropriated the desire and impulse to the creation of purchase, a company manufactures chilled by the repetition compulsion, unmotivated and self-destructive lost confidence in her and finds less less pleasure in eating.
"Triumph of the drive on the desire that destroys social bonds, creates flocks of evil beings and evil to become, in default of future misery resulting symbolic. "
"The desire for consumption, not desire. "
The desire is not proof of lack of evidence but a power.
And the development of digital technologies that can give us this great power to be involved in the transformation of our society.
In view of new models of bottom-up innovation in the process of inventing itself, we are witnessing the overthrow of the producer / consumer, asset / liability towards the development of a shared distribution model and a real contribution to the infrastructure gathers on preferred territories (clusters), designers, artists, engineers, musicians and managers (a "creative class") to form innovative culture broths *.
Is it the promise of a return of singularities, a reactivation of the desire to found an alliance of the two faces of progress, useful and subtle? This
are now the real challenges of our future design.
"There will be no political future that is not a policy of singularities" *.
At random, about one in Gerard Balzagette exciting exhibition catalog Grand Hornu: "This Ergonomics is not who is the subject of art is something else out of pure functionality and is unusual, the presence of the subject ..., this slight distortion which says the presence of subversive and subtle his desire, and this is immediately political subversion. "

Rethinking the progress of our civilization, reduce our consumption but increase another thing: the quality of social bonds.

In this perspective, do not miss the beautiful moment of conviviality to come: Designer's Days Paris from 9 to 14 June 2010

* Bernard Stiegler, desire asphyxiated
