The survey received over **450 responses from around the world**, revealing troubling findings: - **70% of respondents** feel poorly paid - Nearly **two-thirds** are expected to do regular unpaid overtime - Over **60%** have experienced rude, belittling, or demeaning behavior at work in the past five years Behind these statistics are dozens of personal stories that highlight the challenges facing professionals in these fields. ---  *Photo by Christie Chau* ### **Can We Quit Our Air-Conditioning Addiction?** The world faces a **catch-22 situation** with air-conditioning (AC). As temperatures rise, cooling becomes more essential, but AC contributes to urban heat islands and global warming. This feature explores potential solutions to this complex dilemma. ---  *Photo courtesy of Aleph Farms* ### **What Will It Take for Us to Eat Lab-Grown Steak?** With global demand for protein soaring, experts warn we must accept alternatives to emissions-intensive farmed red meat. Design reporter Jane Englefield spoke with designers, scientists, and foodies—including Financial Times critic Jay Rayner—about whether **creative persuasion** can make cultured meat appealing to the public. ---  *Photo by Shutterstock* ### **Green Wall Systems Marketed with Questionable Fire Safety Claims** An exclusive investigation by Orwell Prize-winning journalist Peter Apps revealed concerning practices in the UK green wall industry: - One major system was fire-tested when **45% of its mass was water** - Another is marketed as safe for high-rise residential buildings based on testing **without any plants in place** ---  *Photo by Simon Leung* ### **Are There Too Many Designers?** As part of Dezeen's groundbreaking editorial series on architecture and design issues, deputy editor Cajsa Carlson explored whether **too many aspiring designers** are entering the field. The article presents diverse perspectives on this increasingly debated question. --- These five features represent some of the most thought-provoking design journalism of 2025, addressing critical issues from workplace conditions to sustainable innovation.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>design</category> <category>architecture</category> <category>sustainability</category> <category>workplace</category> <category>innovation</category> <enclosure url="https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2025/08/green-wall-hero_dezeen_2364_col_0.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[The 17-Year Legal Battle That Exposed the Dark Side of Client-Designer Relationships]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/the-17-year-legal-battle-that-exposed-the-dark-side-of-client-designer-relationships</link> <guid>the-17-year-legal-battle-that-exposed-the-dark-side-of-client-designer-relationships</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 20 Dec 2025 19:00:22 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## A Decade-Long Legal Saga Between a Former Trump Official and His Interior Designers On a Friday afternoon in November 2015, a message arrived in the inbox of the owners of **Design & More**, a small Tallahassee interior design firm. The married couple behind the local business, Russell and Rose Marie Brabec, had been entangled in a **bitter lawsuit** for the better part of a decade. The email, addressed primarily to their defense attorney, began a new chapter in what would become a **17-year legal battle**. ### The Origins of the Conflict The lawsuit involves former Trump official **Pete Marocco**, who helped dismantle USAID in weeks during his political career. However, for nearly two decades, he has been embroiled in what some describe as a legal "**boondoggle**" in Tallahassee. The case highlights the **complex legal maneuvers** and accusations that can arise in client-designer relationships when disputes escalate. ### The Design Firm's Perspective Design & More, operated by the Brabecs, found themselves in a prolonged conflict with a client who had significant political connections. The case demonstrates how **small businesses** in the design industry can become trapped in **lengthy legal proceedings** that drain resources and energy. ### What This Means for Design Professionals This extraordinary case serves as a **cautionary tale** for interior designers and other creative professionals about the importance of **clear contracts**, **documentation**, and **professional boundaries**. When working with high-profile or difficult clients, designers must be particularly vigilant about protecting their business interests. ### The Broader Implications The 17-year duration of this lawsuit is unusual even by legal standards, showing how **personal disputes** can evolve into **protracted legal battles** that impact everyone involved. For design professionals, it underscores the need for **risk management strategies** and potentially **professional liability insurance**. While the specific details of the accusations and counter-accusations in this case are complex, the overarching lesson is clear: **client relationships** in the design industry require careful management from the very beginning to avoid costly and time-consuming conflicts.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>legal</category> <category>business</category> <category>interiordesign</category> <category>clientmanagement</category> <category>risk</category> <enclosure url="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/43W4MFAH5JDOZKPHMD4JZDEOHI.jpg&w=1440" length="0" type="image/php"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Revealed: The Human Torch's Almost Perfect Hairstyle That Marvel Chose to Change]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/revealed-the-human-torchs-almost-perfect-hairstyle-that-marvel-chose-to-change</link> <guid>revealed-the-human-torchs-almost-perfect-hairstyle-that-marvel-chose-to-change</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 19 Dec 2025 19:00:23 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Marvel Studios* The second image maintains the same flowing style but swaps in a darker brown shade, creating a bolder contrast than the blond look from the film.  *Marvel Studios* A third attempt pushes the character closer to his comic-book roots, presenting the same face model with spiky blond hair. This version arguably comes closest to what audiences saw in the final cut. However, the film's styling chose to flatten the hair rather than spike it, despite early marketing materials showing Quinn with this sharper look.  *Marvel Studios* The fourth image provides a direct comparison between a spikier brown-haired concept and Quinn's final in-film appearance, which featured short blond hair that lay flat. It's also worth noting that Quinn is a natural brunette, which may be why Marvel was considering this look.  *Marvel Studios* Another striking piece of art features Johnny (not quite resembling Quinn here) with brown hair styled upward, wearing a red jacket emblazoned with a **"4,"** which gives him a team-branded look that feels aligned with his comic swagger.  *Marvel Studios* The final image builds on that idea with a side-profile view of Johnny sporting the same styled-up brown hair, sunglasses, and a popped collar, emphasizing the cool, effortless charisma for which Johnny's known across media.  *Marvel Studios* Marvel likely chose the final hairstyle because it offered a clean, modern silhouette that still felt compatible with the film's retro-futuristic alternate-universe setting, avoiding anything too stylized or era-specific. It was also clearly a wig, and after testing multiple options during production, the creative team may have settled on the version that photographed most consistently. The final look provided could have provided a practical solution for action sequences and VFX work, especially considering Johnny's fiery abilities. With the story's four-year time jump at the end of *First Steps*, there remains a strong possibility that Johnny will debut an updated hairstyle and even a refreshed uniform in *Avengers: Doomsday*. ## Will the Fantastic Four Get New Suits in Doomsday? With *The Fantastic Four* now firmly embedded in the MCU's multiversal narrative, *Avengers: Doomsday* is poised to give the rest of Marvel's legacy heroes refreshed looks that signal a new era. Reed (Pedro Pascal), Sue (Vanessa Kirby), and Johnny are all expected to receive upgraded costumes. As the Fantastic Four step onto Earth-616 and join these iconic figures, their updated looks will help them become fully integrated players in the MCU moving forward. For Johnny in particular, this next appearance could be the moment when a new hairstyle is introduced as well as a sharp new jacket. The Fantastic Four's upgrades also sit alongside a sweeping redesign for past heroes, with Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Professor X (Patrick Stewart), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Namor (Tenoch Huerta), and others adopting new attire for the crossover event. Among all the characters, Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom has to be the most anticipated appearance of them all. While there have been some glimpses of what Doom could look like, an official look in live-action will be a significant moment for MCU fan circles ahead of *Doomsday*'s release.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>conceptart</category> <category>marvel</category> <category>characterdesign</category> <category>hairstyle</category> <category>filmdesign</category> <enclosure url="https://images.thedirect.com/media/article_full/fantastic-four-human-torch_9rzO9iU.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Discover the Hidden Holiday Art of Architectural Legends: Eames, Wright & More]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/discover-the-hidden-holiday-art-of-architectural-legends-eames-wright-more</link> <guid>discover-the-hidden-holiday-art-of-architectural-legends-eames-wright-more</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 18 Dec 2025 19:00:36 GMT</pubDate> <description>< (Image credit: © 2025 Eames Office, LLC.

Alison created cards annually, a tradition now continued by her daughter Soraya, who organised the exhibition. --- ## Louis H Sullivan  (Image credit: Christmas card. Louis Sullivan, designer. Sullivaniana Collection, Ryerson and Burnham Art and Architecture Archives, The Art Institute of Chicago. Digital File # 193101_251210-001) This card was designed and signed by **Louis H Sullivan**, **Frank Lloyd Wright**'s mentor and one of his key influences, in 1920. Sullivan is often called the ‘father of the skyscraper’, with key works including the Wainwright Building in Missouri, the Guaranty (Prudential) Building in New York, and Chicago’s Carson Pirie Scott Store. --- ## Denys Lasdun  (Image credit: Lasdun Archive / RIBA Collections) **Denys Lasdun** was one of the UK’s key authors of modernist and brutalist architecture, known for projects such as the National Theatre and the Royal College of Physicians in London.

Signed ‘from the medical orderlies’, it appears to have been sent by the staff there. --- ## Jane Drew and Max Fry  (Image credit: RIBA Collections) This card, designed in 1953, depicts **Chandigarh**, India, where British modernist architect **Jane Drew** worked on urban planning and housing projects alongside **Le Corbusier**.  (Image credit: RIBA Collections) This card, from 1948, shows the home and office at 63 Gloucester Place, London, which Drew shared with her husband and creative partner, Max Fry, who frequently collaborated with her on educational, housing and institutional projects. --- ## Ernő Goldfinger  (Image credit: RIBA Collections) **Ernő Goldfinger**, the Hungarian-born British modernist architect known for brutalist residential buildings in London such as **Trellick Tower** and **Balfron Tower**, created this Christmas card in 1938 for himself and his wife Ursula. --- ## Chamberlin, Powell & Bon  (Image credit: RIBA Collections) The architect trio behind the **Barbican Estate** created many Christmas cards over the course of two decades. These cards, produced between 1960 and 1982, drew on their extensive travels to Italy, Spain, Egypt, India and the USA, reflecting the wide-ranging influences that informed their work, yet maintaining a distinctly brutalist sensibility. --- ## Stephen Rowland Pierce  (Image credit: RIBA Collections) **Stephen Rowland Pierce** was a British architect and town-planning consultant, known mainly for his work on Norwich City Hall (1938), widely regarded as one of Britain’s finest interwar public buildings.

Inspired by a tick's biological function, he created a mech that visually represents how ticks feed on creatures' skin. "I like how real-life ticks feed on a creature's skin, so I wanted to imply that in the design of this TICK mech taking energy from the land," Chen explains. His process involved: 1. **Drawing studies** to understand tick proportions, head details, and body forms 2. **Ideation sketches** transforming biological features into functional mech components 3. **Adding huge metal pipes** to create the appearance of complex walking equipment that extracts energy from surfaces  *Longque's drawing studies for his tick-inspired mech design (Image credit: Longque Chen)* The result is a **balanced, believable creation** that feels perfectly at home in its fantasy setting. ## Why Nature Works for Mech Design Natural inspiration offers several advantages: - **Organic forms** that feel more integrated with environments - **Functional adaptations** that can translate to mechanical purposes - **Evolutionary solutions** to movement, defense, and energy acquisition - **Visual storytelling** through biological metaphors ## Explore More Inspiration You can view more of Longque Chen's work on his [ArtStation profile](https://www.artstation.com/chenlongque). For those inspired to create their own pieces, consider exploring digital art tools and techniques. Nature continues to offer endless possibilities for innovative mech designs that blend biological inspiration with mechanical execution.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>mechdesign</category> <category>conceptart</category> <category>natureinspiration</category> <category>scifi</category> <category>designtrends</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/mLvD48qPjT6MJtxQc7o7j4-1000-80.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
