LA+ INTERRUPTION—the fourth in the LA+ international design ideas competition series—asked how design can be used to challenge the status quo, to interrupt the jargon, to disrupt and redirect ecological and socio-economic flows. Entries from 23 countries were put before LA+ INTERRUPTION’s eminent interdisciplinary jury, comprising
Fiona Raby,
Jason Zhisen Ho,
Mark Raggatt,
Martin Rein-Cano, and
Rania Ghosn. The jury awarded first, second, and third prizes and 10 honorable mentions.
