Museo e discipline del progetto
#3 Musei per la cultura del progetto
13 dicembre 2011, dalle 14.30
Ca’ Badoer (aula Tafuri), Venezia

Museo e discipline del progetto è un ciclo di conferenze che mira a indagare le molteplici direzioni che collegano queste discipline al museo, e viceversa, dando spazio a ricerche e progetti recenti, per riflettere non solo su opportunità e sfide contingenti ma più ampiamente sul ruolo del museo nel nuovo millennio.

Il terzo incontro si concentra proprio sulle diverse relazioni che si sviluppano all’interno e attraverso i musei e le discipline e pratiche progettuali – dalla relazione cliente-architetto ai clusters di musei, dalla relazione fra museo e università all’utilizzo di nuove tecnologie.

Intervengono

Bettina Magistretti, Senior Architect, Sauerbruch Hutton, Berlino
Architettura e relazioni: il progetto M9

Mila Nikolic, PhD in Theory and history of architecture, Barcellona
City of Museums. Museum Clusters in the Contemporary City

Àngela Cuenca, Head of Exhibition Department at DHUB, Barcellona

In occasione del primo convegno Ais Design che si terrà a novembre 2011 (data da definire) si riuniranno quattro commissioni tematiche dedicate a quattro temi:

- I linguaggi della comunicazione visiva e il design, coordinatori Daniela Piscitelli e Carlo Vinti (ais.design.comunicazione<at>gmail.com)
(scarica la scheda e alcune riflessioni aggiuntive)

- Design e industria , coordinatori Giorgio Bigatti (giorgio.bigatti<at>unibocconi.it) e Domitilla Dardi (d.dardi<at>fastwebnet.it)
(scarica la scheda)

- I musei del design, coordinatori Fiorella Bulegato, Maddalena Dalla Mura (ais.design.museums<at>gmail.com)
(scarica la scheda)

- Formazione
coordinatori Pier Paolo Peruccio (pierpaolo.peruccio<at>polito.it) e Dario Russo (dars<at>unipa.it)
(scarica la scheda e le linee guida)

Coloro che intendono partecipare ai lavori delle commissioni, potranno inviare entro il 30 ottobre un abstract del loro intervento in relazione a uno dei temi proposti (max 2000 battute).
Per inviare i contributi, scrivere ai coordinatori delle singole commissioni (alle email indicate sopra).

Coloro che avranno inviato un abstract saranno invitati a partecipare alla commissione, per presentare le loro riflessioni e per discutere. Nel caso in cui il proponente non possa partecipare, il suo contributo sarà comunque considerato dai coordinatori ai fini della discussione. Il testo finale riassumerà i lavori svolti, nella prospettiva di formulare a conclusione del lavoro una sintesi sulla quale costruire un momento di riflessione più ampio, che potrà diventare la piattaforma per il successivo convegno di Ais Design.

Doctoral Education in Design Conference 2011
22-25 May 2011 Hong Kong

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design and Swinburne University of Technology Faculty of Design jointly organize a conference on the challenges and opportunities of doctoral education that will take place in Hong Kong at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
It is nearly a decade since the last comprehensive global conference on doctoral education in design in La Clusaz, France, and it’s time to revisit this issue for a conversation on this vital theme in design education.
We’ll start the dialog with a dinner on Sunday for three full days of intense discussion, studios, and workshops with limited community of 120 participants.  Papers will be selected from extended abstracts with references.  We will enter into a rich dialog in a single track plenary sessions.  Tuesday’s plenary will be followed by a day of design studios in which participants address key problems and challenges, designing solutions and outcomes for the future.

2nd call for abstract
submission deadline (extended): 7 February 2011
Areas of interest

1. Rigor in Research Training
2. Interdisciplinary Research and Working with other Fields
3. Producing Design Theory
4. Methods and Methodology
5. Relating Practice to Research
6. Supervising the PhD

Design, Development and Research 2011

Design:
This track is about how design happens. It is customary for committed designers to speak variously of the genesis of their creations.  Intrinsically they all seem to address one question, namely, ‘what does a particular project want to be?’  This question not only traverses a wide range of fields but also transcends the more vain question of ‘what does the designer want a project to be?’, suggesting a natural and unforced interrelation between content and form in designs. It is here the convenors of this track see the essence of significant creations and would invite speakers to share their experiences of design, elaboration and execution of successful projects.

Development:
The concept of development is relevant to a wide range of academic disciplines and professional praxis. This stream invites presentations or publications highlighting research with a developmental focus in the fields of ICT and design. Projects engendering cross- and multi-disciplinary dynamics are also invited. The expected research outputs should demonstrate the role of design thinking in addressing diverse problems and challenges affecting communities in developing contexts. Submissions should advance the discourse on the role of design, development and research, and may include innovative concepts as well as practical frameworks and theoretical models.

Research:
This track invites papers about the relationship between research and design. Key aspects include design research, development research, design thinking, action research and general research methodology. Generally we are interested in how we extract research findings from the design and development process and how these findings in turn feed into this iterative process.

Dilemmas:
This track is likely to be the most interesting; it is where all the papers that do not fit comfortably into the other themes will find themselves.  Don’t worry: we have a place for you which is more comfortable than rejection, even if it might be a bad fit.  The world dilemma means “a double proposition” (Greek).  As economist Herbert Simon said “Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.”   So this is our preferred solution.  Marty Neumeier explains, “All design relies on heuristic thinking more than algorithmic thinking – meaning that there is no set path, no mathematical formula, for reaching your goal.  But you still need rigor and process otherwise you’ll drift from one thought to the next with no more hope of making sense than the proverbial thousand monkeys (infinite monkey theorem)”.  We offer HOPE to papers that are uncomfortable, but worthy.

The 2011 Design History Society International Conference
8-10 September 2011

Design activism has emerged in recent years as a term to denote creative practices that invoke social, political and environmental agency. Typically, it distances itself from commercial or mainstream public policy-driven approaches. Instead, it embraces marginal, non-profit or politically engaged design theories, articulations and actions. The “2011 Design History Society International Conference” offers an important opportunity for design students, academics and practitioners to participate in the development of historical enquiry into design activism.

Call for paper
Deadline for abstracts -> 31.01.2011

“ISEA2011 Istanbul will be open to proposals encompassing a large range of topics under the general theme of interdisciplinarity at the intersection of Art, Science and Technology. It is our intention to appeal to the hard sciences and the humanities as well as the art community.
