- killed some children

Dieter Rams. As Little Design as Possible, a cura di Sophie Lovell, prefazione di Jonathan Ive. Phaidon, 2024.
Raccontare Rams non solo come icona del passato, ma come guida per il futuro, questo l'obiettivo di Sophie Lovell, autrice di As Little Design as Possible, un bel volume capace di accompagnare i giovani progettisti alla scoperta di un modo di pensare sobrio, intelligente e sempre attuale.
Che poi si trattava soltanto di invertire le risposte:
- Cosa ne pensa delle decisioni dei giudici sulla famiglia del bosco?
- Non condivido né condanno.
- Cosa ne pensa dell'attacco all'Iran in violazione del diritto internazionale?
