EN: The world we live in is clearly overdesigned.

The aim of dedesign is to explore the real necessities and limitations of the design praxis, if any. A design made by and for the 'non-designers'. An architect pretending to be a graphic designer pretending to be a video-editor and pretending to make a living out of it in Berlin.

And posting his results so far in the web.

If you have a project that could fit in this guidelines, or any comments, please share.

Gentlemen, let's dedesign.

DE: Wir wohnen in einer Welt, die deutlich überentworfen ist.

Das Ziel von dedesign ist, die realen Bedürfnisse und Grenzen der Design-Praxis zu erforschen. Ein Design, das für und von den 'nicht-designers' gemacht ist. Ein Architekt, der ein Grafiker zu sein behauptet, der ein Video-Editor zu sein behauptet, der seinen Lebensunterhalt damit zu verdienen behauptet.

Und er stellt seine bisherige Projekte ins Netz.

Wenn Du ein solches Projekt im Kopf hast, oder noch eine Meinung, bitte nimm Kontakt mit mir auf.

Meine Damen und Herren, let's dedesign.

ES: El mundo en el que vivimos está claramente sobrediseñado.

El objetivo de dedesign es explorar las necesidades y limitaciones reales de la praxis del diseño, si es que las hay. Un diseño hecho por y para los 'no diseñadores'. Un arquitecto que pretende ser un diseñador gráfico que pretende ser un montador de video que pretende vivir de ello en Berlin.

Y que cuelga sus trabajos hasta ahora en la web.

Si tienes proyectos que puedan encajar en estas premisas, o si tienes comentarios, por favor ponte en contacto.

Caballeros, vamos a dediseñar.

representing utopia

The project attempts to represent the spaces of Thomas MORE’s ‘Utopia’. Each the four pannels represents a different scale: the country (the island), the city, the street and the human scale.
The island of Utopia is here represented with the imagery of the 20th century modernism,deliberately mixing different representation techniques in oder to create a temporally confuse setting. This might also refer to the idea of the time-travel, a device used as a excuse to think about utopias throughout time. There is a feeling of despair, a certain sense of lost future evoked by the images. It reminds us that built utopias tend to enter the realm of the dystopian.

The island is represented with the language of transport networks diagrams. Each of the fifty four cities of Amaurot (arranged in a perfect grid) has the name of a different micronation, a simulacrum of Utopia in the contemporary world.

The last pannel represent the desolated open spaces of Amaurot, the capital of Utopia which follows the guidelines of the Modernist City. It is the where the grotesque customs of the utopians take place. It represents a society in which every citizen is happy, but still relies on slavery, surveillance, punishment and humiliation.

El dibujador is currently not drawing anymore, but he will hopefully be back soon when he takes some time to sort out all the drawings piled up inside his head.

“El dibujador”, translated as “the maker of drawings”,

draws his whole life from some time ago. He started remembering moments and then drew them, trying to be precise in every detail, capturing everything. Doing so, those moments belonged to him.

El dibujador is a voyeur of his own life.

Original caption (in Spanish):
“a veces lo más correcto parece que uno desaparezca.
coger una goma de borrar y empezar a borrarse sin pensar mucho en ello. y es que todos sospechamos que tenemos una en alguna parte de nuestra cabeza borradora, como ya nos intentó advertir el bueno de lynch.
y dejar atrás sólo unas miguitas, como si fueran unas cagarrutas de un animal que nadie vio llegar. de un dodo. de un gamusino.
el miedo es el de no poder borrarse del todo, como esos niños manazas en la clase de manualidades, que intentan borrar afanosamente los errores de su dibujo pero han apretado demasiado con el lápiz.”
