I am becoming increasingly interested in public interest design which looks to provide design for the 98%. While my focus in on architecture, Thor ter Kulve, a Dutch artist, is doing this as urban hacks which are playful and stimulating. A plus is that he is respectful of the buildings and infrastructure he is using, unlike graffiti. I appreciate his attention to detail and to his rigor in making his hacks functional as well as witty. Check out his work in Wired’s article “Dutch Designer Hacks His City with Swing Sets/Fireplaces“
