The change in the significance of goods is a process which has triggered far-reaching changes in society as the term has lost any meaning in relation to its purely functional character and increasingly come to represent symbolic and cultural contents. The practice of consumption seems today to be one of the distinctive features by means of which we can describe the social, political and economic phenomenologies which, for better or worse, influence our lives. What becomes increasingly evident and necessary is the role of design culture as a structure for the coordination of the networks of knowledge, to interpret the world of things and design in order to influence behaviours, in the final analysis, bringing about the rise of new economies. The practice of consumption and the spaces for goods are in continuous evolution, constantly eluding typological and functional definition. One of the objectives of this research, besides an attempt to explore not only the spaces but also the practices of consumption from the designer’s perspective, is to understand what mechanisms are at work, what competences, the roles which have impacted on, still impact on today and will continue to impact on this sector in the future.

Vladimir Azarov is from Moscow, Russia. He graduated at the Moscow Architectural Institute, which was called the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture & Architecture before Russian Revolution. It was at this same institution that the pioneer of geometric abstract art Kazimir Malevich studied. Azarov's poetry often reflects his impression of Art – the painting, architecture, poetry, and cinema that inspires him. Black Square is devoted to «Grand Opening Transformation» of the Art Gallery of Ontario – his favourite place in the city of Toronto. Vladimir Azarov continues to work as an architect with the Moscow Architectural Company. He currently lives in Toronto.Владимир Азаров родом из Москвы, Россия. Он окончил Московский Архитектурный институт, который до русской революции назывался Московским училищем живописи, ваяния и зодчества. Именно в этом учебном заведении учился Пионер геометрического абстракционизма Казимир Малевич. Поэзия Азарова часто отражает его впечатление от искусства-живописи, архитектуры, поэзии и кинематографа, которые его вдохновляют. Черный квадрат посвящен «грандиозному открытию Преображения» художественной галереи Онтарио-его любимому месту в городе Торонто. Владимир Азаров продолжает работать архитектором в Московской архитектурной компании. В настоящее время он живет в Торонто.
