![]() ![]() This book investigates the new frontiers of design and by doing so it validates design in each new frontier. As the design profession expands to almost every sphere so does the curation of design. ![]() By covering the birth and development of curating as a profession, from the original private collections of strange and wonderful objects to contemporary seminal design shows, from the old cabinet of curiosities of the wealthy to current debates on artefact appropriation, it authoritatively sets the landscape for informed discussion. This is an essential document contextualizing the vital role the design curator plays in demystifying design and creating new audiences for contemporary design exhibitions.

Loveday explores how design has come to the fore in curatorial practice, with new design museums opening around the world as well as blockbusting exhibitions of fashion and popular culture. Curating as a practice now describes the production of a number of cultural and creative outputs, ranging from exhibitions to art festivals shopping environments to health centres conferences to film programming as well as museums and galleries. She then explores the changing role of the curator since the 1980s, with curators becoming much more than just 'keepers' of a collection, with a remit to create narrative and experiential exhibitions as well as develop the museum's role as a space of learning for its visitors. Donna Loveday begins by tracing the history of the collecting and display of designed objects in museums and exhibitions from the 19th century 'cabinet of curiosities' to the present day design museum. Illustrated with contemporary case studies, Curating Design provides a history of and introduction to design curatorial practice both within and outside the museum. ![]()

![]() Originally a street food spot, they since opened their own restaurant in Soho. Sit at the bar if you can, sipping cocktails or something from their mezcal range.Ĭlub Mexicana is unique on this list because it's an all-vegan taqueria. The original location in Clerkenwell is still a scene, with the masa fried chicken tacos and their Birria de Res (braised beef shin & short rib, guajillo chile, ancho chile) well worth a look. Try classics like the al-pastor, but Walter's chorizo tacos should really be top of your list.įirst opened in 2016, Breddos was at the forefront of London's new-wave taqueria offering. They've now moved to a bigger site which also allows a proper dine-in experience and which also let them add more to the menu. Mexico City-born chef-patron Walter Opitz was hyped up by his mates to open a restaurant off the back of the amazing food he cooked for them. Somewhat out of nowhere, La Chingada launched to fantastic word of mouth in Surrey Quays, followed up by rave reviews. We were big fans of the smoked beef shin birria with its veal bone consomé for dipping but the baja fish tacos looked very good too. ![]() The taco menu includes Beef Suadero with confit brisket, their pork carnitas and finally Nopales with caramelised onion and grilled cactus.Īdriana Cavita's gorgeous-looking Marylebone restaurant serves up a select but top-rate selection of tacos on its modern Mexican menu. While the Sonora team work out their next moves for a permanent location, they've opened this spin-off at Arcade Food Market. ![]() Netil Market, 13-23 Westgate St, London E8 3RL Both the original restaurant and the Shoreditch cafe are worth a try. Stay for the sharing plates like the lamb barbacoa, and don't leave without trying many of their wonderful margaritas. The soft-shell taco is a deserved bestseller, but try the pork belly or chicken tinga tacos too. One of the best Mexican restaurants in London, its launch helped to redefine the kind of Mexican food we should aspire to here. You might find chilli cheese crisp tacos or lamb birria for dipping in lamb consomme but check their Insta feed for the regularly changing weekend menu to be sure tacos are on when you're planning to visit. This tiny neighbourhood cafe has become white hot for its weekend menu combos of smash burgers, creme brulee cookies and tacos. If the tasting menu is too much, head to their basement Mezcaleria for tostadas (including enoki mushroom, fermented gooseberries, habanero), quesadillas and more.ĥ8 Evering Rd, Lower Clapton, London N16 7SR The tasting menu always features a single taco - the one on the menu now is Scottish highland wagyu taco with cascabel chilli, rosé pickled shallots, veal and bone marrow sauce and sunflower petals. Heading towards the high-end of London's taco scene is Michelin-starred Kol, from chef Santiago Lastra. We've rounded up the best places for tacos right now. The Mexican food scene has never been better in London - which means there are some quite amazing tacos out there. ![]() ![]() ![]() This indicates if the JavaScriptCore library is loaded. Matching to this we also have the new property Available from the JSContextMBS class. On Windows you can download the JavaScriptCore.dll. "/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1.so" for Linux 64-bit on ARM. On Linux you can load libjavascriptcoregtk.so here.Į.g. ![]() On macOS and iOS we don't need this, because the default library is loaded automatically. To this method we can either pass the file path to the library or we pass the library as a FolderItem. To do this, you need to load the JavaScript library using the LoadLibrary method from the JSContextMBS class. This includes using it in web or console projects for evaluating JavaScript. The WebKit JavaScript engine can now be used on Windows and Linux as well as on MacOS and iOS. Otherwise the two methods work identically.ĭynaPDF added support for writing PDF/UA-1 files and update the DynaPDF library to 4.0.72.208 JavaScript The new method has the additional possibility that we can specify the type of the root node. Already since version 8.2 there is a related method CreateStructureTree, which creates a global structure tree that is required to create tagged PDF files. The other method is the CreateStructureTreeEx method. In the parameters you first specify the type of the object, then the object handle and finally the new name of the destination. You can rename named destinations with the method ChangeNamedDest in the DynaPDFMBS class. DynaPDFĪlso in the DynaPDF section we have 2 new methods for you. It fetches a JSON document containing all the options provided after the ? of a URI. ![]() Using the property Options from the class MongoURIMBS we can query the options of a URL. Also, we can query the TLS status of the database to see whether the connection is encrypted. We have added aggregate functions for you to query data by applying a filter, sorting rules and grouping either to the entire database or only to a specific collection. The new methods in MongoDB should make your work with Mongo DB much easier. In this article I want to introduce you to the new functionalities from the MBS Xojo Plugins in version 23.1. ![]() |
