We love when awesome companies do awesome things. Case in point: Bruce Mau Design’s Bureau of Doing Something About It. Starting today and continuing through the 31st, Bruce Mau Design’s team will work towards designing solutions to the over 1,000 grievances and gripes collected by the Toronto Complaints Choir – a part of the 2010-2011 World Stage season at Harbourfront Centre.
Responding the “siren song for the disenchanted,” The Bureau of Doing Something About It is a pop-up studio at the Propeller Centre. The BMD team will work in real-time towards solving the problems gathered through the complaints. At the same time, a book of the ideas and solutions will be designed, then distributed throughout Toronto. Pretty rad, right?
Bruce Mau is a brilliant and innovative thinker, and this interactive, cross-disciplinary design event aims towards turning Toronto’s annoyances and problems into possibilities.
Citizens are invited to stop by the pop-up studio to watch the design process at the Propeller Centre, 984 Queen Street West. On July 28th, the Toronto Complaints Choir will join the BMD team for a special performance. Bruce Mau Design’s Bureau of Doing Something About It is being led by studio designers Amanda Happé, Kar Yan Cheung, Chris Braden, Michal Dudek, and Paul Kawai.
Check out the video prelude to the Bureau of Doing Something About It. We’ll be sure to keep you posted on some of the outcomes from this spectacular initiative.
