We each have something we hold dear: our families, education, neighborhood, or city. Please join Fleisher and the Philadelphia community to explore how we can lead the creation of that which we love or would love to create, grow, or feed in our city. As part of his exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Work on What You Love: Bruce Mau Rethinking Design, Mr. Mau will be leading three workshops across the city with the first hosted by Fleisher. Mr. Mau will share his design thinking centered on his Massive Change principles. This evening promises to be an important first step towards designing a future we love!

“We live a designed life,” Bruce Mau argues. “Our health and medical system, our products and our experiences, our media and our sports, our energy sources and our movement of people and goods, our leisure, our culture—we design it all.” Mau and his wife Bisi Williams founded the Massive Change Network in 2010 with the core mission of bringing design-thinking principles and methodologies into wider use across professional categories, ensuring that our collective “designed lives” are as creative and sustainable as possible.

Bruce Mau will visit Fleisher to present his Massive Change methodologies and demonstrate the potential of design to combine aesthetic with ethical and social considerations. Intended to introduce a wide audience to the power of design thinking and to bolster the efforts of Philadelphians to foster positive change in our city, the workshop will offer living examples of the principles Mau has integrated into his own practice.
