RE-DESIGNING DESIGN
Friday the 24th September 5.30 – 7.00pm (CET)

The design industry is going through fundamental changes. Open design, down-loadable design and distributed design democratize the design industry, and imply that anyone can be a designer or a producer. On the other hand design methodology as a problem solving process has found new applications in a broad range of seemingly unrelated sectors. How will these trends impact the very essence of the design industry, including copyright issues, traditional business models and the role of the professional designer?

Today, as part of the PICNIC Afternoons @ Dialogue Cafe we are talking about Re-designing the World Around Us.

RE-DESIGNING THE WORLD AROUND US
Thursday 23rd September 5.30pm – 7.00pm (CET)

Our domestic environment as well as the cities we live in is going to huge change due to fast technological developments. We start to live in smart cities and smart houses, networked with the rest of the world. Our notion of the quality of cities not only depends on the endowment of hard infrastructure (‘physical capital’), but increasingly on the availability and quality of knowledge, communication and social infrastructure, made accessible true technology. (‘intellectual and social capital’). What future scenario’s can we expect? What will or can be the impact on economical, social or environmental issue. What is the ideal design of the world around us?
