DesignInquiry 2014 Programs : Informing and Exploring the Interdisciplinary Discourse of Design
Join us for one (or both, yeah!) of DesignInquiry's 2014 programs as we celebrate our tenth year furthering the interdisciplinary discourse of design.
ACCESS
Vinalhaven Island, Maine; JUNE 22-28, 2014
As designers we influence and design access to the things we make. We might decide, intentionally or not, whether something is visible or not, and whether someone or something is represented or not. What, then, could open access mean?
In this tenth year of DesignInquiry, we invite you to be one of 24 inquirers, to travel to Vinalhaven and develop projects around the ACCESS theme: who are we are trying to access and how do we open up access to the means and methods of design? We encourage participants—new and repeat performers—to bring strategies and tools to share and cross-pollinate. In this tenth year, we are particularly interested in increasing access to the ideas, initiatives, collaborations developed and continued through DesignInquiry.
APPLY to attend ACCESS in Vinalhaven June 22-28, 2014.
DI / DC / DETROIT
In conjunction with (and meeting at) Ponyride; February 20-23, 2014
All systems have balances of success and failure, ebbs and flows, positive and negative feedback loops that create equilibrium within their respective ecologies. DETROIT represents a city in constant flux like no other on the American landscape. Assuming we are all navigating the curve of a success/fail cycle, then what might we observe to be true for Detroit? How can we represent these findings and of what use are they to the ecology of the city itself?
Request a questionnaire to attend DI/DC/DETROIT February 20-23, 2014.
