Join us at the MIT Museum as we welcome award-winning designers Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby to discuss their new book, Not Here, Not Now, in conversation with John Ochsendorf, Founding Director of MIT Morningside Academy of Design. The event will be moderated by MIT Museum Director Michael John Gorman.When reality fails us, what can designers do? Question design's relationship to reality, as Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby do, in this exhilarating, yet thoughtful, journey to the edges of science, philosophy, and literature to find new ways of thinking about the possible -- and about the meaning, function, and place of design in that speculative world of "not here, not now." A conceptual travelogue of sorts, Not Here, Not Now brings together words, images, and objects that capture, in design form, some of the ideas encountered along the way. Itself a design experiment, the richly illustrated book explores ways to bring these ideas into conversation with objects through imagined archives, libraries, glossaries, taxonomies, lists, tales, and essays.Copies of Not Here, Not Now will be available for purchase onsite from the MIT Press Bookstore.Presented in collaboration with MIT Morningside Academy of Design (MIT MAD).$5
