Building a force

Allison Arieff almost got to some interesting ideas in her New York Times article Designing Through a Depression this week. The comments are worth reading through including one gentlemen's coining of the "Great Collapse" to describe the crisis. I wonder though is there some weaving of ideas with Arieff's assertion that designers need to give back and the wildly popular DIY movement. I still think that there is a NEW way to be a designer that has yet to be articulated.......More to come.
