I wanted to get a design magazine as i'm looking to be inspired and so i've decided that i'm going to start regularly reading design magazines which I hope will inspire me and develop me as an individual; this time I chose to buy 'Wallpaper' magazine. Wallpaper is a media magazine that champions the best in architecture, interiors, fashion, art and design. Inside the May edition I came across a section on Daniel Buren's Geometric installations in the Tottenham Court Road station in London. I love the designs he has come up with due to the shapes he has created and his awareness of space when creating these patterns. The colour palette he has used is also interesting as tube stations can usually be quite dull and bland, but with these vibrant colours he has used it is sure to inject more live in to the station. Buren also made interesting comments on stations in general about speed and motion which I found interesting and could relate well to my essay topic.
Throughout the article/conversation they go through the design and the history of design in the station; I urge you to read the section yourself which can be viewed in the May issue of Wallpaper*. It is only £4.99 which is a decent price for a well laid out magazine with some interesting information on the design world.
