Designboost 2008After last years success with participants from around the globe Designboost will now be back for the second annual edition on October 15-17, the vision of the event being "sharing design knowledge".
This years main theme will be The Sustainable City and among the speakers are lifestyle guru Ilse Crawford, architect Bjarke Ingels and designer Ilkka Suppanen.
"The sustainable city is all about how we build houses, roads and parks.
How we consume and translocate. How we live and educate ourselves.
In shorter terms - how to, in the best way, create a sustainable city for a good life," says David Carlson, one of Designboost's founders.
At the main event Designboost will carry out thirty workshops for especially invited participants at the two top floors of the Turning Torso building.
The thought being that ideas with a holistic point of view on design and the sustainable city will de debated, exchanged and tried.
Twenty interesting lectures will be given on the subject of the sustainable city at Malmö University, as well as an exhibition visualizing those ideas.
"We can shape our surrounding world and our future with the help of design.
With design we can shape the society of tomorrow.
Through integrating social, economic and cultural elements we can create more sustainable cities," says Peer Eriksson, one of the founders behind Designboost.
