In my current position as co-director of InnovationSpace at Arizona State University’s Design School, I spend the bulk of my days working with students and professional and academic colleagues, reimaging what education can do as an agent of change. As I do this, I tend to find cool designs worth sharing. Sometimes, a lot of thoughts fly through my head. This is where these thoughts and ideas finally land. All opinions are mine and mine alone.

Rockin' the Zen

February 9, 2018

What It Is: Land Art Mandalas and Cairns
Who Designed It: James Brunt

Why It's Cool: Land art is not an easy art form. You have to find the right materials for the region, and sometimes they just don't work well together. But when they do, magic can happen. In this series, Brunt uses rocks, twigs, leaves, and more to create super-intricate patterns that flow beautifully together and remind us that there is a calm logic behind nature.
