One-day international design research symposium
Practicing Theory or: Did Practice Kill Theory?
25.11.2011
Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD)
Auditorium, Bd James Fazy 15, CH-1201 Geneva
Registration before 15.11.2011
at constance.delamadeleine@hesge.ch Admission: CHF 20.- to be paid cash on the spot
The Swiss Design Network 2011 Symposium Practicing Theory aims at understanding what are the real theoretical contexts of designers practicing design research, how these theor- etical backgrounds are formed, explored and broaden, and what use is made of them in the everyday practice of a research project in design. Not only will we seek to understand where from designers think, but also in what directions their research could possibly push the activity of thinking. At the end of each Paper presentation session, a round table will mix design researchers and theoreticians from various related disciplines, in order to discuss more deeply the interconnections of design research and theory.
