10 самый влиятельных дизайнеров в мире
There are hundreds of well known designers but only a small handful really stand out in society and have a huge influence on us. From fashion designers like Ralph Lauren and Vivian Westwood, to architects like Norman Foster and Zaha Hadid, they have all helped to shape the design industry.
As a keen designer, you are sure to admire and spot good design when you see it. Whether it’s the design of a website like Partypoker or it’s an ancient cathedral, you will be able to see how effective certain shapes and structures are, thanks to your natural eye for design and composition. There have been so many influential designers over the years which is why we have put together a short low down of our two favorites.
Paola Antonelli

She is now the senior curator in the department of architecture and design which means she has overseen popular exhibitions and was also given the “Design Mind” prize at the 2006 National Design Awards in the U.S. The designer says her goal is “to insistently promote design’s understanding, until its positive influence on the world is fully acknowledged and exploited.”
