Mark Dytham on using social networks to mobilise people
South African Design Week/Recorded 2008
A close reading, kept within reach.
Mark Dytham takes architecture & interiors as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Japan in 2008, the conversation is grounded in Mark's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
The time has come for designers to be more than just designers, Mark Dytham says.
