Kyle Blue, the man responsible for the redesign of Dwell, will be speaking at NCSU College of Design in Burns Auditorium (Kamphoefner Hall) tonight at 5. Part of the 60th Anniversary Lecture Series, the event is free and open to the public.
Read an interview about redesigning Dwell with Blue here.
Design NCSU College of Design Dwell
I watch the Dwell TV show and just laugh at how dysfunctional some of the projects are. Things like a single woman’s retreat in the “remote” woods with absolutely no curtains, a couple’s house on the beach with a giant picture window next to the bed…and no curtains, houses with big lawns and no yard tool storage to speak of, an NYC condo with the bedroom and kitchen separated by a big rectangle of plastic and no secluded space for the couple to get away from each other, and countless examples of spacious homes that are likely thermodynamic nightmares…
It’s fun TV to watch, though.

-
You are spot on. These “professionals” design modern for the sake of designing modern.
-
I don’t know why NCSU would allow them to speak from their obviously misguided point of view on
good design.
-
Dwell is a media magazine…that’s it. All they do is advertise and sell. They have no place in an academic forum. And no employee or partner of theirs has no place in an academic forum.
-
Dwell does not know good design. Period.
-Kyle Blue is a graphic designer who redesigned the magazine just like it says above.
-He was presenting to a graphic design audience.
-Maybe NCSU should invite you to talk.
