Designed in the style of a fanzine, the publication presents different methods
used in the working process of designers under the umbrella term of "tools", which are questioned and placed in new contexts.
The contributions were developed and exhibited by a temporary collective from the University of Applied Arts Vienna at the
invitation of Vienna Design Week 2024. Going beyond mere documentation, Design Revolution Now! shows the new understanding
of roles among a young generation of designers and, as a result, the need to fundamentally reform design education at the
Angewandte.
