Design Ideas (#21): Melbourne and Victorian Design Festival

With the Melbourne International Design Festival and Victorian Design Festival "State of Design" happening right now I'm a little bit jealous. Some of the creative things happening as part of these programs are sharing PARK(ing) themes, and could also inspire ideas for your spaces -

State of Design

• RMIT Urban spaces (postcard series about urban design)

• Everything is Every-Think (found objects)
• 'Have You Seen It?' (various installations will be located in public spaces in the four blocks around the intersection of La Trobe Street and Swanston Street)
• Tell Me (captures the imagination of the person in the street and asks them, "How could today have been better for you?")
• 3 Tonne'o'Space (exhibition in a truck)
• The Liquid Landscape/Architecture as Metaphor
