This year, the Philadelphia Museum of Art awarded the Design Excellence Award to Bruce Mau. According to the Museum, "Mau is internationally recognized for his achievements in design, including visual identities, brand systems, books, packaging, and exhibition graphics. His most recent work applies design tools and concepts to environmental, social, economic, and political problems."
According to Newsworks, "Mau has made a successful career not so much designing objects . . . but crafting social reaction. He is a champion of geodesign, an emerging field wherein designers take on social, political, and urban issues by applying design principles. Mau has been hired to improve corporate branding, workplace culture, even whole countries."
