There’s a new issue of Disegno out, which is frankly something of a miracle given the circumstances.
Some of the many excellent things in is issue: a piece about the history of São Paulo’s Casa do Povo, a Jewish community centre built by an acolyte of Le Corbusier in 1953; a photoessay documenting out-of-season Alpine ski resorts; an essay on what it means to see like a Mars rover; an in-depth look at the design of Japan’s prismatic medal games; an essay review of Eimear McBride’s new novel Strange Hotel; and much, much more.
I also have a story out in it, exploring the so-called digital wellbeing initiatives launched by tech giants in the past year or two. How well-equipped are the makers of our apps and devices to wean us off those apps and devices? The short answer is “not very“. The long answer can be found here.
