Authenticity: Image & Identity

Featuring Design Curator and Advisor Simon Andrews and Architect and Historian Lee Mindel, FAIA Exposing ourselves to authenticity is one of the most valuable opportunities that we can experience. Our actions can often be guided by imagery or intuition. But what are we really looking at, and what do we really want? In this lively and informal discussion, architect and historian Lee Mindel, FAIA, and design curator and advisor Simon Andrews explore the ideas and processes that help to determine and identify authenticity. The discussion will consider the appearance and material identity of historic design objects, the innovative spirit of contemporary design, and how authentic and effective holistic environments may be identified. This Talk was filmed live at DESIGN MIAMI.LA 2024.
