Synopsis

What has been catching the attention of committed design students today? How are they reacting to the challenges of hedonism and sustainability in a pluralistic society? What are the impulses emerging from the cooperation of industry and design schools? And last but not least, what are the young designers doing after they leave the universities? How are they succeeding in participating in the design of our product culture? 'Design Impulse' provides the most manifold answers from the field of activity of a young successful design school (in 2006 'Business Week' counted the Industrial Design course of studies of the Polytechnic Joanneum in Graz/Austria amongst the sixty best design schools of Europe, Asia and North America). More than 130 examples from the areas of product and transportation design show unconventional problem solving methods, ranging from studies, internship, and professional life. Interviews with prominent designers and snapshots of the most varied design processes offer a backstage insight of the design scene.
