We are seeking images that document how design is being applied to all aspects of life, including: transportation, housing and urbanization, health, energy, manufacturing, imaging and information technologies, materials, markets, and the military. We are looking for images that demonstrate the emerging power and promise of design in the contemporary world.

Selected submissions may be included in one or more of the following: a book published by Phaidon Press; an internationally touring exhibition opening in October 2004 at the Vancouver Art Gallery; a website at massivechange.com;and other project applications including a documentary film.
