(From the publisher) 'Works That Work was an international magazine publishing original, in-depth essays and stories about the impact of creative ideas in everyday life. Editor Peter Biľak tag-lined it ‘a magazine of unexpected creativity’, and saw it as a vehicle for challenging the widely held view that design is only about making objects stylish and more expensive. Thus, the magazine published human interest stories about design’s relevance to the wider public and how good design leads to the permanent betterment of life for all involved, showcasing examples from such far-flung locales as towns north of the Arctic Circle, villages in India and cities in Africa, as well as metropolises all over the globe...'

  • Issue #1: The pilot issue demonstrates that creativity is not the exclusive domain of artists or designers, but something that surrounds us in our daily lives.
  • Issue #2: In this issue we look at inventions as deceptively simple as the shipping container and as staggeringly complex as an intercontinental aircraft.
  • Issue #3: In this issue we look at designs from the past that have shaped the present, and designs from the present that will affect the future.
  • Issue #4: If necessity is the mother of invention, extreme environments must be hotbeds of innovation. Works That Work went to find out.
  • Issue #5: Exploring the fine line between breaking the rules and breaking the laws.
  • Issue #6: Forgotten ideas worth a second look.
  • Issue #7: Sometimes design is as much about the unseen as the seen.
  • Issue #8: How Bhutan is designing for its survival.
