The Swiss Design Network (SDN) is diving straight into the second half of 2022 with a research summit: COUNTERPARTS: EXPLORING DESIGN BEYOND THE HUMAN at the Zurich University of the Arts on 27 & 28 October 2022. Registration for the conference is now open.
COUNTERPARTS: Exploring Design Beyond the Human
Swiss Design Network Research Summit
27 & 28 October 2022
Zurich University of the Arts
With Keynotes by Yoko Akama, Heather Davis, and Helen Pritchard. See the detailed overview here.
This working conference explores the contemporary debate initiated by the ecological crises and design’s involvement in constructing “one-world-reality” (Law 2015) and its implications for design research, practice and education. The conference aims to provide a basis for a joint exploration of what happens when we shift away from human-centered and universalist views of design and begin contemplating future ways of co-existing and co-emerging with others on this planet. Which ideas, experiences, practices, and possibilities unfold in the wake of such a shift? How can design be re-thought accordingly?
Tickets are available online.
