Long Abstract Submission Deadline October 1, 2019

Design Culture(s) is investigating not simply on the concept of culture as a monolithic expression of a specific knowledge that reflects on itself, but as the product of an investigation that is open to many different “Cultures” which are emerging and revolving around it in society, in the places and in history.

The theme “The Design After” invites us to reflect about the moment of expansion, recognition, mutation and integration that design lives. The conference is based on five research tracks: Sensing the City, Sensing the Rural; Somewhere, Nowhere, Anyone, Everyone; Fiction and De-innovation; Design and Counterculture and Biodiversity- Driven Design.

May 27 – June 1, 2019 in Rovaniemi, Finland hosted by University of Lapland.

I had the privilege of coming face-to-face with the network of design community worldwide and the interaction and the atmosphere was a rare that seemed like standing before long-lost relatives and friends from the other parts of the world.

Participated in the Cumulus Conference: “Around the campfire: resilience and intelligence”.
May 27 – June 1, 2019 in Rovaniemi, Finland hosted by University of Lapland.

The activities which I enjoyed the most were the paper sessions about “The future of design teaching” and the working groups activities. The atmosphere created was more relaxed and fresh and it allowed us to exchange ideas and to give and receive feedback in a deeper way that we can usually do during a paper dissertation.
