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.
