Conference, June 5-6

What happens when Dwell editors drive the agenda? A roster of more than 50 incredibly talented and diverse speakers ranging from legislators to practitioners to activists, discussing everything from urban gardening to a mandated LEED program for LA. The conference follows two parallel tracks but we encourage you to veer from the linear and sign up for any panel that sparks your interest.

There's no Graffiti on Dwell on Design's wall yet. Draw some

Industrial magnate Andrew Carnegie probably would not have imagined his garden scattered with a patchwork of picnicking families, a jazz trio, a liquor sponsor and the cocktail-toting singletons that seem to come along with the latter. This, however, has been the fortunate case this summer on Fridays at the Cocktails@Cooper-Hewitt. Tomorrow is the last one.

Dorrie and Paul Markovits wanted to add a retreat to their Coldwater Canyon property. Taking advantage of the hillside, they created an oasis of calm, modern architecture.

The suburban Winnipeg, Manitoba neighborhood Greg Loeppky and his family live in is engulfed in natural splendor. Boreal forests, large swathes of agricultural land, and thousands of lakes dot the area. Flora, fauna, hockey, and traditional architecture abound in this beautiful corner of North America. Modern design, on the other hand, not so much.

Housing's future doesn't lie in wood or steel, young man-it's plastics. Specifically, expanded polystyrene (what some call Styrofoam).

There is a man who designs everything from environmentally-sensitive light rail systems to small bedside tables. His name is Jasper Morrison, the mind behind products by Alessi, Vitra, and Samsung. His work, from tableware to urban design, tables to elegant toilets, all are characterized by the utmost simplicity and European economy for line and space. Best yet, his tables-like his Hannover municipal rail system-are environmentally-considerate.
