AIGA Eye on Design Presents: When Did the Book Become a Brand?

Join AIGA's Lee-Sean Huang in conversation with Cynthia Smith, Curator of Socially Responsible Design at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, about a new Cooper Hewitt exhibition and book.

How might we collectively put our creative forces together to envision a future we want to live in and take action to create it now? Designing Peace is an intersectional snapshot of the actions—culturally diverse and wide-ranging in scale—that are currently in play around the world.

Offering perspectives on peace through essays, interviews, critical maps, project profiles, data visualizations and art, this book conveys the momentum that design can gain in effecting a peace-filled future. From activists, scholars and architects to policymakers and graphic, game and landscape designers, Designing Peace flips the conversation: peace is not simply a passive state signifying the absence of war, it is a dynamic concept that requires effort, expertise and multidimensional solutions to address its complexity.

Designers engage with individuals, communities and organizations to create a more sustainable peace—from creative confrontations that challenge existing structures to designs that demand embracing justice and truth in a search for reconciliation. This publication aims to expand the discourse on what is possible if society were to design for peace.

“Checking the box” isn’t as simple as it used to be, now with the anti-hybrid rules enacted in many countries outside the United States. Join our international tax experts as they discuss U.S. structuring options for international organizations.
Business professionals sitting at a conference table discussing with one another.Regulation changes around the globe, particularly in Europe, have caused some questions when it comes to choosing an organization’s tax structure. The anti-hybrid rules enacted in Europe bring up questions about structuring when, previously, choosing to check the box might have been an easy choice. Now, organizations need to consider their structuring options more carefully, as these anti-hybrid rules are causing some headaches when it comes time for due diligence.
Our international tax experts will discuss the anti-hybrid legislation and what it means for business owners, as well as the details of “check-the-box” entity classification and how anti-hybrid is affecting this choice, and lastly, a discussion of C corporation structuring. They’ll wrap up by going through the anti-hybrid rules and the hybrid structures with examples, including a dialogue on U.S. tax structure options to relieve the anti-hybrid issue.

Learning objectives:
Define the anti-hybrid rules enacted in many countries outside the United States.
Develop strategies to consider when selecting entity structure classification.
Understand U.S. tax structures and the options available to mitigate some issues stemming from the anti-hybrid rules.
