Sam Jacob (Inter 12 tutor/FAT) curated Design Criminals, a show of young Austrian design at MAK, Vienna
The exhibition is a challenge to a new generation of Austrian designers to engage with the Viennese discourse around 'ornament and crime'. Asked to work with everyday decorative acts like cake decoration, tattooing and hairdressing – Loosian 'sites of crime' – their responses oscillate between high and sub cultures, suggesting possibilities for design’s role as a cultural and social act and the potential of the ornamental to 'deliver new joy into the world'.

Watch See Britain, short film about Brazilian UK-based architect Lucélia Rodrigues and her work in sustainable architecture
Lucélia Rodrigues is a Brazilian architect and urban designer who came to the UK to develop her own area of study – sustainable architecture – and found a culture keen to address the challenges of climate change. After qualifying as an architect in 1999 and working on commercial and residential projects in Sao Paolo for five years, Lucélia did what thousands of young people from all over the world do every year and came to the UK to study. At Nottingham University she gained an MSc in Renewable Energy & Architecture, and while she studies for a doctorate, teaches at the School of the Built Environment.
