or: how to be meaningful and deal with the unbearable lightness of design
EN
products send out signs about their potential use
products can stretch and push boundaries
products can solve problems
products can save situations
products need to be shown well and should be smart
products can serve, sting, surprise, sparkle, change systems, have soul
products can be sound, strategic, speculative, spirited or spontaneous,
serious, significant, suited, suitable, scrupulous
That is quite a load…
while the overarching light-hearted theme for this semester is: SUMMER TIME
Question:
How to make design meaningful, but feel natural and not theoretically overloaded?
Tasks:
In this project sketch-make-debate-and-learn sessions on the above terms will lead to:
A: experiments, mock-ups and hands-on models for joyful products or small furniture
B: refining your ideas about what design can do, or should do, today and in the future
C: showcasing friendly and accessible products in a relaxed, but meaningful environment
D: learning to ping-pong between ratio & intuition / brain & heart /improvisation & planning
Tuesday sessions: brain-hand-thinking & hands-on-making by Adrianus Kundert:
28 Apr, 5, 12 May, 2, 9 June (including a studio visit)
Outcomes of this project might become part of the Mono pop-up show during Berlin-Artweek.
