Thank you to all of the sponsors who made last year's dinner such a success!
Contact Sharon Haugen (sharon.haugen@asu.edu or 480.965.6384) to inquire about sponsorship opportunities.
If you are considering a Gold, Maroon + Gold, or Sustaining Sponsorship, please make the commitment by January 25 and we will list your company's logo on the invitiation materials. Of course, sponsorships at any level are needed and greatly appreciated! Please see the 2008 Design Excellence Dinner Sponsorship (pdf file) for more details of company recognition at each level of sponsorship.
We are excited about the opportunity to feature James Surowiecki. In his book, The Wisdom of Crowds, he posits that "when our [individual] imperfect judgments are aggregated in the right way, our collective intelligence is often excellent. . . . It's the reason the Internet search engine Google can scan a billion Web pages and find the one page that has the exact piece of information you were looking for."
Could the influx of many millions of people to the Phoenix area in the coming decades be a demonstration of the wisdom of crowds? Surowiecki, who also writes a popular business column for The New Yorker magazine, will discuss his thesis and its connection to design decision making.
This is one of ASU's premier events. Expect more than the usual presentation. This will be an opportunity to explore the wisdom of our dinner "crowd" to test Surowiecki's hypotheses.

The Australian company Pax Scientific manufactures fans that feature museum-quality design—and top engineering performance. The machines are 50 percent more energy efficient and 75 percent quieter than competing products in the marketplace. Their inspiration: the whorled pattern of a nautilus shell.
After studying the shape and skeletal structure of the boxfish, a common coral reef resident, engineers at Daimler Chrysler designed an aerodynamic automobile whose weight could be trimmed by as much as thirty percent without sacrificing performance. The car zooms from 0 to 60 mph in 7.9 seconds.
Central to each of these examples is the application of a methodology for innovation known as biomimicry. Put simply, biomimicry is looking to the forms, materials and functions of nature for clues to solving design and engineering problems. It is a limitless—and largely untapped—reservoir for inspiration.
Please join Prasad in a conversation about termite-inspired air conditioning, bat-inspired walking canes, mollusk-inspired fans and other brilliant oddities.
Prasad Boradkar teaches new product design and development in the College of Design at ASU. He also directs a program called InnovationSpace, a transdisciplinary education and research lab where faculty and students develop new products that create market value while serving real societal needs and minimizing impacts on the environment.
Dynamical Discussions are hosted by the CSDC to foster interdisciplinary dialog and collaborative research in the emerging field of complex systems to address fundamental questions of social life.

DeBartolo Architects Works and Ideas 1997–2007
January 30, 2008
Lecture at 6 pm
College of Design North building, room 60
Reception follows in the Gallery of Design
The installation explores select projects by DeBartolo Architects, a studio that rigorously avoids self-referential gestures and pursues architecture as the setting that allows for the unfolding of emotions and the experience of place. Their work utilizes a consistent process of reduction, resulting in buildings composed of strong, highly articulated components that are imbued with a sense of calm and serenity, while innately connected to the locality of site and geography.
DeBartolo Architects’ work can also be interpreted as part of a quest that gives tangible shelter to a powerful current in contemporary American society: the intense search for permanency and the longing for the sacred, an attitude with larger and more profound social and cultural implications.
Following a lecture by Jack DeBartolo Jr., FAIA, and Jack DeBartolo 3, AIA, a gallery reception and exhibition featuring a film installation by artist Mark Vinci and filmmaker Paul DeNigris will commence, which explores three recent built works in the Phoenix metropolitan area designed by DeBartolo Architects. The gallery installation is curated by Jose Bernardi, Associate Professor of Interior Design. The core concept of the exhibition follows DeBartolo Architects’ concept that the gallery installation be a product of cooperation between artist and architect.

Senior Studio
For the eighth consecutive year, Interior Design students, under the direction of faculty associate Marci Lange, use inspiration from an artist, a famous person, or artistic movement to design and build a chair that also makes a statement about ending domestic violence. This year, eleven chairs were designed by teams of two or three students. Inspiration from diverse backgrounds such as John Lennon, Andy Warhol, and Greg Louganis, yielded colorful and unique designs. But it is the students' supporting statements, crafted from ideas that will inspire people in domestic abuse situations, that are the most moving.
The students are given the challenge of designing and building the chairs in only five weeks, several with donated materials, but all are one of a kind. This project is particularly important to the students and is one way they can learn that design can contribute to the betterment of society. Understanding that they have a responsibility in the community is a lesson they can take into their design practice after graduation.
The chairs are now on display in the College of Design Gallery of Design through November 2, when they will be moved to the Burton Barr Central Library for First Friday, and then on to the atrium of Phoenix City Hall. The chairs will finally be moved to the Phoenix Art Museum on November 15 for the "Chairity" event to benefit the city of Phoenix Family Advocacy Center, an organization that provides comprehensive services to domestic violence and sexual abuse victims.
Three chairs will be offered through a live auction with the remaining chairs in a silent auction bid process. All proceeds from the sale of the chairs go to the Family Advocacy Center for services to their clients.
In honor of bringing awareness to domestic violence and the Family Advocacy Center, the Southwest Chapter of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) provides a scholarship to the student whose chair is voted as best design by IIDA jury members.
For information about attending the event or sponsoring a table, go to www.chairity.info.

Department of Interior Design Lecture
Suzanne Tick
Textiles and Sustainability
Suzanne Tick is a textile designer who has been design director for Knoll and is currently the design director for Tandus. She was one of the first to consider the design of sustainable products for mass production in interior design. Tick is constantly looking for new and challenging materials to work with, and her latest challenge is fiberoptics. She has been experimenting with handweaving monofilament and fiberoptics to create soft, sculptural lamps. Tick displays a versatility and passion for experimentation that enables her to constantly question and push the boundaries of her medium. One of her experimental woven projects, which used an industrial steel fiber from Japan, was included in the show at the Museum of Modern Art called "Structure and Surface: Contemporary Japanese Textiles." Suzanne has received numerous awards and participated in several museum exhibitions with her work.
This lecture is part of a Department of Interior Design lecture series sponsored by Gensler.

The result is executive buy-in, distinguishing places to work, and attracting the best and brightest talent.
Herman Miller’s rich history of innovation, recognition as a best place to work, and problem-solving approach to design creates both opportunities and challenges to continually excel.
Key learning points
- Innovation as a business strategy
- Human necessities and sense of well-being
- Attributes of human centered design
- Connections to sustainable design
- Measuring performance

Two locations on the Tempe Campus in the College of Design: North building, room 60; on the Bridge; and at the Phoenix Urban Research Laboratory at the ASU Downtown Campus (in the Security Building at 234 North Central Avenue, 8th floor).
The ASU College of Design is participating in a live webcast of the 2010 Imperative: Global Emergency Teach In. The 2010 Imperative addresses global warming and climate change through an interactive webcast broadcast live from New York, reaching more than 500,000 students, faculty, deans, and practicing professionals in the architecture, planning, construction, and design communities in both North and South America. The College of Design is supporting the efforts of the organizers of this event to educate our students and faculty about the impact of the built environment on the global climate. See the website at www.2010imperative.org for more information about organizers and goals of the event. The webcast is sponsored by the American Institute of Architects, US Green Building Council, Rockefeller Brothers Funds, New York Academy of Sciences, and more.
Although the event is geared toward the built environment, global warming, reducing carbon emissions, and sustainable design should be of interest to all students and faculty in the university. The college has organized a post-webcast panel presentation covering:
-
How to calculate your “carbon footprint” according to your lifestyle and practical changes you can make to reduce your carbon impact
-
What is ASU doing to reduce its carbon emissions now and in the future?
-
What building, construction, and materials uses and techniques cause carbon emissions and how can those practices be changed to begin to reverse the level of carbon from those uses?
The College of Design has also reserved Phoenix Urban Research Laboratory to webcast for the ASU Downtown Campus community and for design and planning professionals to gather to see the webcast.
Please forward information about this event to your colleagues around the university and in the professional community who may be interested in participating and announce the event in your classes. We urge all faculty to participate with their classes in this special event about practical ways to reverse the effects of global warming. More information about other supporting events will be posted on design.asu.edu or call 480.965.6693.
