The International Design Alliance (IDA) has appointed Professor Dr. Peter Zec as the successor to Jacques Lange and thus as the new chairman for one year. The president of Icsid, director of the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen and initiator of the Red Dot Design Award thus holds the highest official office in the design community, according to a media communiqué.
The IDA is a strategic association of the two design umbrella organizations Icsid and Icograda. It has been implementing joint initiatives since 2005 and seeks to strengthen the role of the design associations as influential NGOs that are consulted by the UN and UNESCO, among others, in areas relevant to design.
For the duration of his chairmanship, Zec is particularly keen to intensify his lobbying work and make a major commitment to design education, the press release continues. He is also looking forward to continuing work on his "World Design Capital" project, a competition that is held every two years and in which cities from all over the world can participate.
