Going into this lecture, I was more than happy to find that there were a lot more female designers popping up. One person that caught my attention however, was Lisa Strausfeld. Although she wasn’t talked about much, her work fascinated me by combining architecture and graphic design.
With a background of graduating with a master’s degree in architecture from the prestigious school of Harvard, along with a media arts and sciences degree there’s no wonder she was able to create some incredible pieces. She partnered with Pentagon in 2002 which launched her into the world of digital information projects along with a team.
Strausfeld was fascinated with visualizing data in a three dimensional space. She states that “The screen is a space. “For me, it was always a space. It was a space you can enter.” It’s thanks to designers like her, we truly get to see digital design on an even larger scale and appreciate it.
