Designblog has been an online student project as part of the Amsterdam Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Basic Year program |Design Theory & Research, since 2007.
All this time we have been publishing our efforts out in the open for all students of the program and beyond, creating a horizontal process of education. The data base we created is unique and phenomenal and still represents the distinctly personal views of such a diverse student community. The program amalgamated viewpoints on relations between art and design. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
As the project evolved from a basic blog in the early beginning x to the last upgrade, its evolution as a digital medium also became a regular part of our researches. This can still be experienced in the many projects students developed on this subject. Just before Designblog was terminated at the summer of 2019 we still did organize a workshop on the disintegration of this medium over such a long period of existence
Thank you all for following us . . . . .
