Designer Q&A with John Nielsen
“Industrial designers are getting involved in R&D, often as participants in multidisciplinary collaborations, with architects, engineers and production companies, or being employed in the research and development departments of larger architecture firms.”
“In less than a decade, we have moved from using pencils and paper as our primary tools to entering the digital age, where computers are not just replacing the pencils but are transforming design and architecture. Scripting, parametric design, animated design and algorithmic design are just a few examples of new methods of generating design, which were unthinkable 10 years ago.”
“Designers have the opportunity to shape the perception of good design to the public, to communicate globally within the design community, and perhaps most importantly, to interact with the engineering community, the marketing community, the end users, on a informal level.”
