Transversal Design

Transversal Design is a study programme for practice-based research that grows community infrastructures for worlds in transition. We investigate the social, political, ecological and technological dynamics of the systems we live by to design for grounded transformation – from alternative media, speculative models, and practices of care, to tools for solidarity and radical proposals for innovation.
