WHAT ARE PEOPLE FOR
What Are People For: Design Philosophy by Patrick Whitney is a multimedia legacy project about the life and work of the pioneering designer, Patrick Whitney.
Produced by Murmur Ring and composed of a documentary film by award-winning filmmaker Gary Hustwit and a book designed by the Smithsonian’s National Design Award recipient Rick Valicenti, What Are People For serves both as a portrait of a visionary thinker and a timely meditation on the role design can play in shaping a more meaningful and democratic future.
Frankfurt-based architectural and design publication, Stylepark Magazine, collects knowledge and ensures that it is exchanged and transfered.
Stylepark’s Editor-in-Chief Anna Moldenhauer joined Patrick Whitney in conversation about his profound influence on research into human-centered and strategic design.
