Davin Greenwell, a designer with SmallBox (a primary support partner of Design Currency), has shared some personal thoughts on their company blog about Cameron Sinclair's talk and how he and his colleagues at Architecture for Humanity are using design to save lives and create a sustainable future.

Andrew Boardman has penned a personal account of his experience at Design Week on his blog Deckchairs On The Titanic. His favourite speakers were Cameron Sinclair, Marian Bantjes, Frank Chimero, Ali Gardiner and Brian Collins, who apparently blew his mind—I hope he's OK. ;-)

As the conference wound down Thursday evening, MC Dave Mason took the stage one last time to give closing remarks. In a wonderful summary of the jam-packed three days, Mason managed to string together key points from each of the nearly 30 speakers.

Travel is often defined by memories of food. Perhaps it's the multi-sensory aspect of the experience, but it's often the meals and snacks we try when on an adventure to some far away place that stick with us the longest. If the myriad of food blogs and online banter about its food culture is any indication, Vancouver is a wonderful place to visit, ripe with memories for the making. With so many people arriving in Vancouver this month for the 2010 Winter Olympics, followed by numerous designers converging this spring for Design Currency: Icograda Design Week Vancouver 2010, many will be wondering where to eat while in town. This brief overview should give new visitors some ideas where to go.
