Changing the Change
January 7, 2008 | Levent OZLER
Organised under the leadership of Prof. Ezio Manzini at the Politecnico di Milano, "Changing the Change" is an international conference on the role and potential of design research in the transition towards sustainability.
The event is included within the World Design Capital Torino 2008 celebrations and seeks to make a significant contribution to a necessary transformation that involves changing the direction of current changes toward a sustainable future.
From the 10-12 July 2008, design researchers will join invited keynote speakers at the Politecnico di Torino to paint a clearer picture of common ground.
"The theme of the conference challenges us all to think differently about what it means to be a designer in a transforming society.
It is a great example of how Icograda's membership put our vision of 'leading creatively' into action," said Brenda Sanderson, Icograda's Managing Director.
"Moreover, the approach of bringing all design disciplines together supports our vision for the International Design Alliance (IDA): doing things together that cannot be done alone."
