Massive Change – Bruce Mau and the Institute without Boundaries

We will tap into the global commons.

Design success equals global success… The first step to its unfolding is to reject the binary notion of client/designer. The next step is to look to what is going on, right now. The old-fashioned notion of an individual with a dream of perfection is being replaced by distributed problem solving and team-based multi-disciplinary practice. The reality for advanced design today is dominated by three ideas: distributed, plural, collaborative. It is no longer about one designer, one client, one solution, one place. Problems are taken up everywhere, solutions are developed and tested and contributed to the global commons, and those ideas are tested against other solutions. The effect of this is to imagine a future for design that is both more modest and more ambitious. More modest in the sense that we take our place in what our studio’s chief scientist Bill Buxton calls the renaissance team, a group that collectively develops the capacity to deal with the demands of the given project. More ambitious in that we take our place in society, willing to implicate ourselves in the consequences of our imagination.

How to translate research insights into tools for creating socially relevant designs
Matt Krise – Studio 1:1

This workshop discusses the process of design research at a community level highlighting the importance of community participation, developing trust, identifying stakeholders and building partnerships. In this hand-on workshop, through a series of activities, participants will learn to apply the ‘flip’ method and evaluate design concepts that take into account the individuals, community and the city.

One of the major challenges of design research at a community level is the transformation of research insights into design solutions that are innovative and relevant to the community members. This workshop presents a method developed by Studio 1 to 1 that ensures a rich transformation of insights into innovative and socially relevant design solutions.
