Visual thinking

A new online magazine from Google; beautifully put together and a true pleasure to view and browse through or take in deeper by resting your eyes and mind on an article. This is what Google says about their magazine:

...."But in a world of accelerating change, we all need time to reflect. Think Quarterly is a breathing space in a busy world. It's a place to take time out and consider what's happening and why it matters. Our first issue is dedicated to Data – amongst a morass of information, how can you find the magic metrics that will help transform your business? We hope that you find inspiration, insights, and more, in Think Quarterly."

I will be waiting for the next issues and exited to see what they will be dedicated to.

Protective architecture

Svalbard Global Seed Vault

Here is a link with updates and photos from the global seed vault that in December 2010 reached 500 000 seed samples!

Some call it the doomsday vault, since it is a protector of global biodiversity in a changing world vulnerable to natural disasters, war, lack of management and finance. In a more positive perspective it is at least a confirmation of insight into our human vulnerability and a legacy of will to try to think, plan and act for a future and future generations. The architecture itself is fascinating. For obvious reasons related to shape (and some more subtle meanings) I get a visual parallel to the monolithic symbolism in Stanley Cubrick's movie "2010".

John Maeda: "Innovation is born when art meets science"

"Superior innovation comes from bringing divergents (the artists and designers) and convergents (science and engineering) together."

Read more of the interview with John Maeda that talks about why mixing of disciplines are so important. Even though the focus is on science, technology and design it should be a lesson for many industries.
