[Open Design + Hardware] Fwd: Design School: The Future of the Project

Fri May 6 11:54:53 UTC 2016

Dear List-members,

I would be delighted if you would consider attending this event. Please
note that there are a limited number of places available so the events are
expected to fill quickly. Please also pass on to anyone that you think
might be interested.

Imagination Lancaster in collaboration with the University of Southern
Denmark and the Design Museum, London is holding three summits on the
future of the Design School. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research
Council (AHRC), UK the three summits will explore the future of
thecontemporary design school informed by international perspectives from
high level invitedspeakers from design education, culture and industry.

The three summits will interrogate the operative scope, flexibility, and
vulnerability of education in the design school in the years and decades
ahead. The summits will investigate the extent of the transformations
taking place in the design school and will aim to:

* Examine the international perspective on the state of the contemporary
design school.

* Explore whether the design school of the future needs to be more
“undisciplined” (not interdisciplinary) in its approach to increasingly
complex global crises.

* Examine the conditions that are impacting on the design school in ways
that the history of the discipline has not traced.

* Appraise the challenges for the future design school and the practice of
design from globalised information flows and the spectacle of image making.

The three Design School summits are FREE but tickets need to be booked in
advance. Please book early to avoid disappointment.

The first Design Summit, “Design School & The Educational Turn”, will be
held on Monday 13th June 2016, from 10am – 5pm in Gallery 1.5 at the Design
Museum, 28 Shad Thames, London SE1 2YD, London.

Please send your name, address, email, job title, name of company /
institution, and any dietary requirements to Amanda Henry at the Design
Museum amanda.henry at designmuseum.org<mailto:amanda.henry at designmuseum.org>

Summit 2, “Design School & The Industry Turn”, will be held at the Royal
Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA), 8
