‘social design’
Designprocesses are increasingly deployed to create solutions for societal problems. Increasingly the focus has shifted towards the human individual in relation to others as well as to the urban environment and nature. Public involvement by designers is not new. Social design is a design direction which has existed ever since Bauhaus. Until this century, it remained largely limited to aesthetics regarding shaping and forming by following ergonomic and engineering guidelines.The current break-through of social design was initiated by leading design agencies who were searching for a more valid role of design and rediscovering the ‘human’ or ‘user’ (in relation to others) as the decisive factor.

On the 21st of November we will offer you a multi-discplinairy line-up: designers, architects, artists, city planners, end users and philosophers. All will be presenting inspiring examples in the famous 20 slides x 20 seconds format.
