I recently attended the SEGD conference in Atlanta which provided an excellent opportunity to meet and chat with the other chapter chairs. During the three intense days we exchanged anecdotes and observations about signs, wayfinding, wayshowing, typography and  experience design. We heard from leaders in the field, took part in site visits and workshops exploring this rapidly developing field of design. For my part within the Academic Summit I facilitated a workshop and discussion titled Collaborations and Cross-disciplinary Work … more on this in another post.

Bill Toomath, award winning New Zealand architect and head of the Wellington School of Design throughout the 1980s, passed away on 20th March 2014, aged 89. As a way to accurately refer back to Bill Toomath's architectural life and as a fundraising event to support The Mary Potter Hospice, the Toomath family invites you to a re-screening of Antonella and the Architect on Thursday 3rd April, 4pm at the Paramount Theatre, Courtenay Place. Entry donations will go to Mary Potter Hospice.
