The production and use of sustainable materials, along with technological, automated processes of production are the main drivers of change in C21st design and manufacture. The positive contribution to be made by design, when connected with a range of disciplines, is becoming the key to new ways of thinking.

This talk seeks to provide an insight into ongoing practice-based research towards designing for the lifecycle speeds of materials. Under the headings: ‘Why? Where? How? What? & Who?’, I intend to animate and reveal the thinking that characterises the activity. It reveals contemporary inspiration, historic influences, the people and the process, including just some of the many constraints.

Die Veranstaltung findet am Dienstag, 19. Dezember 2017 um 18 Uhr im Raum 103/104, Villa, Campus Design, Neuwerk 7, 06108 Halle (Saale) statt. Gäste sind willkommen.

Die Teilnahme ist kostenfrei, eine Anmeldung nicht erforderlich.
