Provocations is a forum for sharing work that illustrates Sasaki's philosophy that thoughtful design solutions are not conceived in isolation, but rather from a collaborative and open conversation about issues and ideas. Our hope is that the sharing of the work in this series will result in an even more engaged discussion and cross-pollination of ideas that will help to continually cultivate our practice.
In this first issue of Provocations, "Mega Plans," we juxtapose Beijing's evolving urban environment and China's aspiration to transition from a "made in China" economy to a "designed in China" economy with the arid climate of the Dead Sea and the Jordanian government's desire to regenerate the local community and to improve tourism in the region.
