New York’s Cooper Hewitt Museum is taking a stab at defining the concept of 'Beauty' with a new Design Triennial exhibition. Pictured: expressive sculptures by the Haas Brothers are placed at the show's entrance

正如设计界对美学的关注一样(也应该如此)，美作为一门学科，往往会受到忽视。纽约库珀休伊特博物馆(Cooper Hewitt Museum)推出了“美容-库珀休伊特设计三年展”，试图对这一概念进行界定。

为了做到这一点，策展人AndreaLipps和EllenLupton汇集了260多件作品，由63名设计师组成。他们将这些主题分为七个主题：奢侈、复杂、虚幻、违背、新兴、元素和变革。每一个都是为了呈现不同的美的维度。

展览将持续到8月21日，展览占据了最近翻修的博物馆的两层楼。在许多方面，这是一个不同的练习-从工业设施的办公用品的限制或丹尼尔雷巴肯的玻璃作品和哈斯兄弟的表现力，例如。一个目录，“美”，也把所有的东西汇编成一卷。

这个展览跨越了众多的学科，从时尚，图形，产品设计，建筑等等。一个混合袋(故意的)，应该有东西给每个人。正如曹先生所说，“美在旁观者的眼中”。

Curated by Andrea Lipps and Ellen Lupton, the exhibition pulls together more than 260 works by 63 designers, including an architectural installation by the Philadelphia-based Jenny Sabin (pictured)

The show explores beauty in seven delineated themes: Extravagant, Intricate, Ethereal, Transgressive, Emergent, Elemental and Transformative

Occupying two full floors of the recently renovated museum, the exhibition has been designed by the New York architecture firm Tsao & McKown

'We wanted to make sure the exhibition design was not about yet another thing to look at,’ Tsao explains. ‘We let it fade into the background so the viewer could focus on every piece’

The show cuts across a range of disciplines, presenting work from fashion, graphics, products, architecture and jewellery

In many ways, it’s an exercise in difference – which ranges from the ornamentality of Tuomas Markunpoika's 'Engineering Temporality' cabinet (centre) to Maiko Takeda's intricate headpieces (right)
