Exploring Contemporary Design Perspectives: Research Presented at the 12th EAD Conference
Marcus is set to present his recent research at the 12th European Academy of Design (EAD) Conference, hosted by Sapienza University of Rome in Italy. This event aims to foster a rich dialogue among designers, academics, and experts, addressing the intricate landscape of contemporary design and its future trajectories. The conference is dedicated to promoting diversity and interdisciplinarity in design discourse.
The theme, "Design for 'Next,'" explores the dual concepts of proximity and destination, relating both to temporal and physical spaces. The conference aspires to uncover emerging fields of investigation within design, as well as to connect individuals and spaces with shared interests in design research. Contributions from professionals, academics, and students are invited to address pivotal questions through their research, projects, and experiences: What constitutes Design for the Next? What are the forthcoming focal points of Design?
The conference is structured into nine parallel tracks, each dedicated to a distinct domain of design research and practice:
Aesthetics
Economy
Education
Environment
Health
Industry
Society
Technology
Thinking
Each track will center around a specific keyword, facilitating an in-depth exploration of diverse fields within design. Through this collaborative and multifaceted approach, participants will collectively construct a comprehensive vision of Next Design.
By engaging in this intellectual exchange, Marcus will contribute to the ongoing discourse on the future of design, highlighting innovative approaches and interdisciplinary connections that define the evolving landscape of the field. This presentation at the 12th EAD Conference underscores the significance of addressing contemporary challenges and envisioning new directions for design in a rapidly changing world.
