The designer and entrepreneur Terence Conran has died at the age of 88. From the opening of his first Habitat shop on the Fulham Road in 1964, Conran was a towering figure in the British design world. In 1989 he founded the Design Museum, a non-profit institution that in 2016 was relaunched at its new home in South Kensington.
Once a place where sea, desert, and palm groves coexisted in rare harmony, Tunisia’s Gabès Oasis stands today as one of the world’s most fragile cultural-environmental sites. At its heart is artist Mohamed Amine Hamouda, whose ecological practice offers a form of resistance—one built on memory, materials, and a return to ancestral knowledge.
