How does design make an impact on the way we live? The Design Center at Philadelphia University covers the topic's full breadth in "What Is Design Today?" The exhibition investigates the evolution of consumer products, first through conventional, hands-off displays, then with interactive activities: chairs for sitting in, lamps to switch on and off. Philippe Starck, Karim Rashid, Ross Lovegrove, and Ron Arad are all featured. October 4–March 2; 215-951-2860; whatisdesigntoday.net.
