If you weren’t able to convince your boss to let you leave the office this morning to catch one of the five National Design Award lectures from 10 to 11 a.m. this morning at various museums, tune in to the webcast for a live broadcast of each lecture. The lectures focus on various aspects of design, including Materials and their Effects, The Future of Interaction Design, Interpreting the Present and the Past, The Future of Technology and Sustainability, and Transform Your Neighborhood. The webcasts will be archived on the Cooper Hewitt website.
