Robert L. Peters: design as an action

peters

Most inspiring lecture on design I ever heard.

“..  I see design as an action, not as form (and I prefer to use design as a verb rather than as a noun)..”

Robert L. Peters is active internationally as a designer, strategic consultant, policy advisor, juror, guest lecturer, and author. He is the principal of CIRCLE, an award-winning communication design consultancy based in Winnipeg, Canada that he founded in 1976. He is a former president of the International Council of Graphic Design Associations (Icograda), a foreign feature correspondent for Communication Arts magazine magazine, a Fellow of the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada (GDC), and author of the book ‘Worldwide Identity’ published by Rockport.

For the past 25 years Robert has lived in a low-energy passive solar house that he designed and built in the woods of eastern Manitoba. When not immersed in design, he enjoys nature, rock-climbing, mountaineering, and other human-powered outdoor activities.
