Thirty years ago, eight women embarked on a radical experiment in urban living: they built a communal house in central Amsterdam in which practically everything — from kitchen utensils to childcare — was shared. The house was conceived as an alternative to expensive, single-family apartments and atomized urban lives. It also reflected decades of progressive thinking on feminism, gay rights, and collaborative living. With co-living making a comeback, New York-based designer Irene Pereyra returned to her childhood home to learn about the story of this unusual place, and to discover what we are willing to share in our living environment on a day-to-day basis — beyond the safety of our screens.
Format releases 2016 retrospective and looks back on what will be remembered as the greatest design year of all time… maybe.
Format is taking a look back at the epic year creatives had in 2016. We’ve rounded up the most iconic, innovative and awe-inspiring design moments of the year. Spoiler: it gets a bit weird. The site itself subverts normal website conventions and lets visitors navigate the bombastic, tongue-in-cheek retrospective in 3D.
With the 2016 design retrospective, the design team at Format decided to approach this project with a brand new aesthetic–no design at all. With huge type–in Arial of course–and aggressive flashing, not to mention mind bending 3D elements, the retrospective aims to take the user on a journey through the most iconic design moments of 2016. There are hidden easter eggs throughout the site and pop-ups that are tongue-in-cheek and 100% intentional. With the “hottest” design trends ready to be tweeted with just one click of a button, the 2016 design retrospective is anything but serious.
