Are we building for the development of greed or for generosity?

During this year's Milan Design Week, Designboost had made a MiniBoost to explore the personal viewpoint of sustainable cities of some of the worlds most acknowledged designers.

The MiniBoost resulted in thirteen unique interviews. The first set of those interviews, including well-known designers like Ilse Crawford, Tom Dixon, Konstantin Grcic, Arik Levy, Ross Lovegrove, Katrin Olina and Satyendra Pakhale, had been published couple of weeks ago.

Now Designboost releases the second set composed of six interviews that incude Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec, James Irvine, Kristina Dryza, Patricia Urquiola, Richard Hutten and Tim Power.

The questions asked: look at sustainable cities from a holistic point of view and touch among other subjects sustainability according to cultural life, emotional amplification and the personal stories of the inhabitants. The questions are written by different Boosters at the DesignBoost 2008 key event "Long Live the City" in Malmö, Sweden.

MiniBoost is a downsized, internationally mobile Designboost event. It sometimes takes the form of an upgraded broadcast, a BoostCast: designers and other key professionals make comments, reflect and challenge subjects of the day in a filmed format. All BoostCasts are shared online.
