What new paradigms might be necessary within an expanding or changing view of contemporary design? What are the conditions and concerns of platforms for design discourse? What roles do associated sites, structures, media and institutions play? What is the role of practitioners? What can be learned from other disciplines?
Forums and formats for discussion play an essential role in understanding the changing definition of design and role of designers today. This seminar focuses on platforms that have been developing and experimenting with how to host such discussion – several significant examples will be presented, along with different institutional models and premises, media and formats, audiences and impacts. As one such platform, DESIGN ACT is placed within a wider context, reflecting upon experiences and future directions of developing discourse about design. Through a series of presentations and a panel discussion, issues such as curating, interpreting, promoting, critiquing and practicing emerging definitions and roles will be discussed.
