Design Writ Large
I met Hunter Tura years ago at some conference, and I've always admired his work - and certainly the company/person he work(s)ed for ... Bruce Mau may still be in Chicago, but I'm sure he's a good mentor. I believe Hunter is now CEO & President @ BMD.
A recent post finds Hunter "excited" to be part of the team who will design Hong Kong airport's new mega-terminal. Nice!
Who IS Bruce Mau? Many Canadians may well ask. Because, many Canadians do not realize that one of this world's finest designers is, in fact, Canadian. THAT's Bruce Mau. As to who Hunter is, well, he's the next rising star, and amply filling Bruce's shoes, it would seem. Good job all round, people, and keep it up - you make this Canadian very proud. If YOU want to feel equally proud, do follow the above links, and especially, gaze at BMD's work here.
Extra!! I forgot; the reason I became interested in Bruce Mau was my stumbling on his brilliant "Incomplete Manifesto for Growth". Do please check this out. It could change your life! And if you want any explanation, ask me - because I'm brilliant too, and I seem to think in the style of Mr. Mau. Curiously, there is a point missing from the manifesto's original web format. It wouldn't work on the current format - it was about missing item numbers, iirc. I got it right away, and I bet not many did. My favourite point is "Start Anywhere". Bruce credits John Cage (another hero of mine), but I'd like to cheekily correct that, since it's very much a Buddhist idea. We Buddhists will usually say "Start Where You Are", meaning: No need to find a special place to begin; in fact you could start wherever you are right now (or at any time). Or, there is no wrong place to start, as long as you do start. Sorry to remove this particular excuse for your lack of progress!
