Five years ago I began work on my first documentary, Helvetica, which looked at the worlds of typography and graphic design, and their impact on our visual environment. After Helvetica was released in 2007, I had the idea for a second film, Objectified, which focused on industrial design and product design, and our relationship with the manufactured objects that surround us. While working on Objectified, I realized I wanted to make a third film that would also examine how design affects our lives, and began thinking of the films as a “design trilogy” of sorts.
The third documentary in this trilogy is about the design of cities.Urbanized looks at the issues and strategies behind urban design, featuring some of the world’s foremost architects, planners, policymakers, builders, and thinkers. Over half the world’s population now lives in an urban area, and 75% will call a city home by 2050. But while some cities are experiencing explosive growth, others are shrinking. The challenges of balancing housing, mobility, public space, civic engagement, economic development, and environmental policy are fast becoming universal concerns. Yet much of the dialogue on these issues is disconnected from the public domain.

From Datavisualization.ch: In the current financial climate, the FTSE 100 is regularly in the media, and is the most widely used indicator of economic prosperity in the United Kingdom. Despite this, many of us have no idea what it is, why it is important, or how it is useful. In response to this, Jeremy Christopher developed these three A1 information visualizations to explain the history, worth, and importance of the FTSE 100 on a basic level in order to build a simple knowledge base of the index.
The work “A 26 Year History” visualizes the base rate (first value of the index) and the index’s value over the 26 year period. It also shows how the number of businesses form each of the 10 industry sectors has changed and developed over time.
