Designing the Future: Exploring the Role of Design in Systemic Transformations (Preproject)

  • Project period: 2023 - 2024
  • Category: In-house Project

Description

Can you touch a system? How do you change it? This interdisciplinary (pre)project explores how we learn about, represent and transform systemic issues through design of practice, organizations and policy. This exploratory study, which goes to the core of an identified paradox of system-related design and representation, has the overarching research question: “How might we address the gap between theory and practice in designing for systemic transformation?” The aim of the pre-project is to create a theoretical and methodological starting point for the main project. The project is a collaboration between the School of Economics, Innovation and Technology (SEIT) and Art, Design and Media (SADM) at Kristiania.   



Prosjektet er en del av forskningsgruppen TID lab ved School of Arts, Design and Media.
