...this the year that geeks take over the design world? You might think so, judging by "Design Life Now: National Design Triennal 2006," which runs until July 29 at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York City. On display are more than 100 of the most inventive works from the past three years, ranging from new graphics for prescription pill bottles to wardrobes for Madame Butterfly. The exhibit is meant to showcase recent design feats, but it feels futuristic, with a prominent pack of robotic dogs and sci-fi humanoids coming to life among the customary displays...
...kids, a dog and a cautionary wife/ And while it was all going accordingly to plan/ Billy Brown fell in love with another man."

Rather than merely sourcing, they can supervise the entire production process, handling everything from design to quality control to transportation. Some firms even conduct investigations of factories to ensure that they comply with labor and safety regulations, thereby protecting U.S. companies from attacks by human-rights groups. "We're doing more in terms of services than we ever comprehended," says Cicetti...
...necessary if the University is to be a leader of science in the 21st century. The report also emphasizes the importance of an environmentally friendly physical plant. In Allston, campus sustainability will be a priority; all projects will be required to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system’s certification. Further, the report attends to transportation concerns and includes a detailed plan for each roadway in the new development. As the Allston project continues to move forward, however, ensuring a positive undergraduate experience must remain one of the University’s top priorities...
