Mau has recently embarked on his most challenging project to date: the Massive Change exhibition. The show is about nothing less than "the design of the world." The project -- which encompasses a book, a traveling exhibition, a radio show, a website, and an upcoming feature film -- is just the latest in a long line of multi-disciplinary works that Mau has collaborated on. Mau's work is recognized all over the world, and he has worked on three of the new millennium's most talked about buildings: The MoMA in New York, Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and Rem Koolhaas's Seattle Public Library. With Koolhaas, he co-authored S,M,L,XL,a book that obliterated the traditional divide between designer and client. He has designed all the titles for New York's Zone publishers and his own book, Life Style, was chosen as a TIME magazine design of the year.

Now that we can do anything, what will we do?This provocative question is at the heart of Bruce Mau's Massive Change presentation. Drawing on the ideas and images from his acclaimed exhibition of the same name, Mau looks to the future of human civilization, and explores the ways in which design is improving the quality of life for millions of people around the world, and the possibilities that exist to extend this revolution to the entire human race. He begins this presentation with a simple, yet profound proposition: we are now at a point in history where the welfare of all life on the planet is a practical objective. Big, bold, and inspiring, this presentation offers listeners examples of the many positive changes taking place around the world, as well as groundbreaking ideas for new projects to broaden and extend these exciting developments.

Bruce Mau's work is acclaimed for its innovation and creativity. He has become the go-to designer for the world's leading companies and architects, and helped them to create brands, buildings, and retail environments that set a new and higher standard for the individual experience. This is no accident. His studio follows a well-defined process along the creative path, one that has drawn attention and admiration from around the world. In this presentation Bruce shares his approach to creativity and innovation, offering listeners both practical tools and aspirational ideas that can have an immediate impact on an organization's creative culture. Great ideas rarely "just happen". They are developed most often from a well thought out and disciplined approach, one that Bruce shares in this entertaining presentation, providing great take-way value for audiences from virtually any industry or profession.
