Apo to announcement kai call for papers:
The Faculty of Design at the INDACO Department of the Politecnico
di Milano and the Triennale di Milano, backed by the United Nations
Environment Programme, Division of Technology, Industry and Economics,
are organizaing the international conference "Visions of Possible Worlds
-- Scenarios and proposals for sustainability --
A new social role for designers and design schools."
The conference will take place on the 28th and 29th of November 2003
at the Triennale di Milano (http://www.triennale.it).
Kai apo ta epomena mails:
[T]his one will be a particular kind of design conference: a conference
in which the focus will NOT be on specific projects or methodologies,
but on VISIONS on [...] ways of living and thinking (and on the role
of design to promote them).
The expression "vision" is here to be intended as an image and/or
a narrative able to give the audience a BROADEN, but at the same time
SYNTHETIC view on some aspects of the sustainable society, and on the
related ways of living (i.e. thinking, behaving, producing, ...).
