lucky – serious question:
Do you think government's have a responsibility to fund, protect and raise the profile of the arts/culture?
I don't believe design is art, but it is, on some levels, part of the cultural fabric of a city, region and country. In that respect governments should be highlighting good design as a way to differentiate the city, region or country from others and also to highlight the design industries in terms of graphic, product, landscape and architecture as much as possible.
In that sense it is actually irresponsible of Government not to put the effort, thought and money into good design.
Furthermore they should source the best design possible from the local area if it is good enough to meet the objects of the project.
- Good point. And thanks for speaking to me like a person. My thoughts are below.luckyorphan
