SUMMARY:Courmayeur Design Weekend

Courmayeur Design Weekend is organized by Paola Silva Coronel in partnership with Courmayeur Mont Blanc\, under the patronage of the Industrial Design Association\, Altagamma Foundation\, the Architects’ Order\, and in collaboration with Courmayeur Mont Blanc Funivie and Skyway Monte Bianco. \nDiscover Courmayeur Design Week-end 2024 \nThe Courma Beach\, photo Giacomo Buzio\, courtesy Courmayeur Design Weekend \nCourmayeur Design Weekend 2025\nThis year’s theme is “Unexpected Directions\,” reflecting the awareness that\, in a world where everything tends to be predictable\, sometimes something unexpected happens.

The theme will be explored through installations blending snow\, ice\, and creativity\, such as sleds decorated by a select group of architects. These will be auctioned off for charity during the Dinner Party on Saturday\, February 8\, at the Palazzetto dello Sport in Courmayeur. \nDiscover Pietrasanta Design Week-end \nCourmayeur Skyway.

Conceived in 2017 by Giorgio Pace and Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte\, NOMAD\, a travelling show for art design\, has already had several successful editions in Capri\, St. Moritz\, Monaco-Montecarlo\, and Venice. Created as a touring concept\, NOMAD changes locations frequently. In this way\, NOMAD always draws attention. Moreover\, it creates a growing interest in collectible design and contemporary art\, among collectors and cultural institutions. Each edition hosts major international galleries\, outstanding exhibitions\, and tailor-made special projects in extraordinary architectural venues. \nThe next edition of NOMAD is in Sankt Moritz from February 20 to 23\, 2025 \nDiscover the past edition of NOMAD Capri \nThe former Klinik Gut in Sankt Moritz\, hosting Nomad 2025 \nNOMAD establishes a unique dialogue between art\, architecture and design in a very intimate setting. The fair’s target is a select audience seeking an experience different from what they typically find in large-scale fairs. \nIn addition to the main event\, NOMAD boasts a prominent VIP program. The program features lectures by renowned designers and artists\, architect-led tours of local places of interest\, and invitations to private homes or collections.\nEach exhibition lasts four or five days\, and access is limited to NOMAD CIRCLE and VIP members\, and registered GUESTS. Registration guidelines are on the NOMAD website. \nDiscover the past edition of NOMAD Capri \nNomad St. Moritz 2024 \nNomad and sustainability\nSince its inception\, NOMAD has embraced a vision that promotes traditional craftsmanship and the collaboration of design\, art\, and local culture. Mastery of craftsmanship and the perpetuation and creative revitalization of centuries-old traditions and knowledge are integral to preserving the planet and creating a more sustainable future. In short\, art\, design and architecture can play a significant role\, leaving a positive imprint. \nNomad St. Moritz 2024 \nWhy visit \nNomad is a small\, very exclusive fair dedicated to design collectors with good spending power. In fact\, it takes place in prestigious locations\, in high-end summer or winter vacation spots that are very well attended. However\, even if you don’t buy anything\, it can be worth visiting\, for several reasons. First\, it offers a chance to see unique collectible design pieces in beautiful and exclusive settings. Also\, it allows access to historic buildings that are usually closed and open only for events. \nFor enthusiasts\, it is an opportunity to learn more about designers who also express themselves in the art design area.\nTo be considered: requesting an invitation on the website is mandatory. \nThe 2025 edition takes place from 20–23 February 2025 at the former Klinik Gut.

SUMMARY:Anchorage Design Week
DESCRIPTION:Anchorage Design Week 2025: celebrating creativity\, sustainability\, and community\nOrganized by the Anchorage Museum in collaboration with numerous community partners\, Anchorage Design Week is an annual gathering of creative minds dedicated to fostering and inspiring place-based design. It serves as a platform to reimagine the future of our city and the evolving lifeways of Northern regions. Through thought-provoking visuals\, interactive interventions\, engaging workshops\, and meaningful conversations\, Design Week invites community members and creatives to explore how design can play a pivotal role in shaping positive and inclusive futures.\nAnchorage Design Week debuted in 2016 as Anchorage Design Weekend; the 2025 edition takes place from February 20 t0 23.  \n \nIn 2025\, our focus turns toward the power of sustainable materials and practices—examining how they can foster inclusivity\, strengthen communities\, and challenge designers to elevate their work\, whether in branding\, architecture\, or urban planning. We invite participants to push creative boundaries while addressing pressing global challenges through innovative and thoughtful design solutions. \nAs we celebrate what makes Alaska distinct\, we look forward to reconnecting with our community – while shaking off a little cabin fever – as Anchorage Design Week once again coincides with the vibrant Anchorage Fur Rendezvous festivities in late February 2025. This unique timing provides a special opportunity to merge tradition with innovation\, highlighting the intersection of culture\, history\, and forward-thinking design. \n \nCommunity events and collaborations\nAnchorage Design Week is made possible through strong partnerships with Alaska Design Forum and AIGA Alaska\, bringing together creative professionals\, thought leaders\, and engaged community members. As a proud member of World Design Weeks\, we align with a global movement that fosters meaningful dialogue around design’s impact on society and the environment. \nOne of this year’s key community projects is the Reconnecting Fairview initiative\, which offers a deep dive into the histories\, people\, and places that shape the East Downtown Fairview area. This initiative supports a community-led revitalization effort\, known as the Fairview Greenway project\, which aims to reimagine and enhance neighborhood spaces for future generations.  \n  \n\n\nAs part of this effort\, we are excited to welcome fourth-year architecture students from the University of Texas at Arlington\, who will conduct fieldwork and develop speculative concepts focused on community food spaces\, ecotourism and innovation hubs\, and health and wellness centers in Fairview. During this engaging neighborhood tour\, participants will have the opportunity to help document spaces\, contribute their perspectives\, and share ideas that could help shape the future of this vibrant community. \nAnchorage Design Week 2025 key event: Inform Conference 2025\nAnchorage Design Week proudly presents Inform 2025\, an immersive conference that centers around the theme of Equity\, Empathy\, and Connections\, with a particular emphasis on Urban Design and Raising People Up. This dynamic event will feature: \n\nInspiring keynote speakers\nContinuing Education (CEU) presentations\nInsightful panel discussions\nA showcase lunch hour\, where vendors can present innovative products and materials to members of the design community\n\nWhether you’re a seasoned professional\, an artist\, a community leader\, or a student\, Inform 2025 offers a unique opportunity to learn from industry experts\, spark new ideas\, and build meaningful connections. This is your chance to gain valuable insights\, expand your network\, and explore the latest advancements in design. \nThere’s a fee to attend to the conference.  \n \nSpecial guest presentation: Carson Chan of MoMA\nAs part of Anchorage Design Week 2025\, we are thrilled to host a special guest presentation by Carson Chan\, Curator of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)\, in partnership with the Alaska Design Forum. \nCarson Chan serves as the inaugural Director of the Emilio Ambasz Institute for the Joint Study of the Built and Natural Environment\, where he leads groundbreaking research initiatives that examine the intersection of architecture\, urbanism\, and ecological sustainability. His work at MoMA spans exhibitions\, public lectures\, conferences\, seminars\, and publications\, all aimed at advancing innovative approaches to design within the context of environmental and social challenges. \nThis special presentation is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the leading voices in contemporary architecture and design\, providing invaluable insights into the ways design can bridge the built and natural environments to create a more sustainable future. \nWith an exciting lineup of conferences\, workshops\, community events\, and guest speakers\, Anchorage Design Week 2025 is set to be an inspiring and impactful gathering.
