"It’s creating a more welcoming environment for those who aren’t 'classically' trained in design or who didn’t go to a big design school," she says. While anti-design isn't quite the wild west, it does open things up for none designers to challenge traditional gatekeeper, Veguilla-Lezan believes. Slovenian designer Nejc Prah went for a design "that felt a bit overwhelming" in his work for Boiler Room's System Restart festival to reflect the "diverse, overlapping, and constantly changing festival lineup," and it perfectly fit the post-lockdown mood. There's method behind the apparent chaos when it's done right, and it makes sense at a time of intense competition for the digital audience's attention. “The nature of it says do what you want - screw what traditional design rules say and create beyond the “design box” we’ve been given." Basically breaking barriers," says Jennifer Veguilla-Lezan of Bella+Sophia Creative Studio. "I think this is design evolving, also keeping in mind societal changes when it comes to things like social norms and even inclusion. This graphic design trend revisits the heady early days of the internet through the eyes of digital natives seeking to break the mould of cookie-cutter templates, even it means making design that's intentionally disorientating. Instead, they're turning to the influence of what's been described as a new anti-design: an anything-goes riot of clashing colours, types, irregular shapes and jarring collages. Whether it's a result of the Covid-19 pandemic or simple boredom, some people just aren’t accepting the neat, harmonious homogeneity that’s emerged from the conventions of app design with its emphasis on usability.

You will get full access to divisare archive and you will help us keep the lights on.ĭivisare subscription is free for teachers & students No Ads. If you like what we’re doing, please Subscribe. No click - like - tweet - share, no advertising, banners, pop-ups. This is why Divisare is a place to perceive architecture slowly, without distractions. Instead of hastily perused information, we prefer knowledge calmly absorbed. Instead of a quick, distracted web, we want a slow, attentive one. Patient work, done with care, image after image, project after project, to offer you the ideal tool with which to organize your knowledge of contemporary architecture. Join us in taking a stand against the short attention architecture media.ĭivisare is the result of an effort of selection and classification of contemporary architecture conducted for over twenty years. It is a different idea of the web, which we might call slow web. banners, pop-ups or other distracting noise. No "click me," "tweet me, "share me,” "like me." No advertising. Behind all this there is the certainty that we can do better than the fast, distracted web we know today, where the prevailing business model is: "you make money only if you manage to distract your readers from the contents of your own site." With divisare we want to offer the possibility, instead, of perceiving content without distractions. A long, patient job of cataloguing, done by hand: image after image, project after project, post after post. Every Collection in our Atlas tells a particular story, conveys a specific viewpoint from which to observe the last 20 years of contemporary architecture. Our model was the bookcase, on whose shelves we have gathered and continue to collect hundreds and hundreds of publications by theme. So we began to build divisare not vertically, but horizontally. May be because we wanted to distinguish divisare from the web that is condemned to a sort of vertical communication, always with the newest architecture at the top of the page, as the "cover story," "the focus."Ĭontent that was destined, just like the oh-so-new architecture that had just preceded it a few hours earlier, to rapidly slide down, day after day, lower and lower, in a vertical plunge towards the scrapheap of page 2.
