The person who influenced the father of Modern design, William Morris, and inspired Mahatma Gandhi; John Ruskin, who stated that “There is no wealth but life.” His philosophy is said to be the origin/ birthplace of community design.

Ruskin was a social critic and thinker during the time of the 19th century industrial revolution. An era, characterised by low quality goods being made in bulk, increased concentration of population. This was the setting in which Ruskin mulled over what an ideal society, economy, nature and culture should be. The idea of understanding oneself, and living sustainably were the ideas that catapulted the National trust movement, and the arts and crafts movement.

As part celebrating John Ruskin’s 200th birthday anniversary, we will be organising a symposium, exhibition. This Active Book Dialogue is part of the pre-event for John Ruskin Study group.

The first half of the event will be introduced by Mr Yamazaki Ryo, who is part of the executive committee of the 200th anniversary celebrations. This part will cover the basic introduction of Ruskin.

Following, we will then dive into the Active Book Dialogue, reading the “The origin of Community design”, by none other than Mr Yamazaki Ryo. This part of the event will be facilitated by none other than NPO Home’s vi.

How can we regain a sense of community within a modern day world that gives priority towards economic growth and exploitation of resources? If you want to think of these questions together, please feel free to join us in this educational journey of Ruskin and his philosophy.
