in form Symposium
Powerhouse Museum – Sydney Design 06
http://www.dab.uts.edu.au/inform/
The University of Technology Sydney (UTS), School of Design in association
with the Powerhouse Museum will present in form, a one day symposium as part
of Sydney Design 2006.
The aim of in form is to offer a platform for lively and stimulating
discussion as speakers explore the understanding and innovation that occurs
through the practice of design. The intention is to investigate emerging
models of practice-based design enquiry. Questions will be raised about ways
in which design may be conceived as a form of divergent discovery and
experimental research and in turn how this may contribute to knowledge
within the design professions.
Kees Dorst, Industrial Design Practitioner, Professor and author of
Understanding Design and co-author of Analysing Design Activity, will share
his views on practice-based research in the field of design. A series of
practice-based research projects will be presented and discussed with a
panel discussion to conclude the programme.
Keynote speakers: Kees Dorst, Angela Brew, Brad Hausmann
Intended Audience
> design practitioners interested in extending their practice,
> design practitioners interested in reflecting on their practice,
> design practitioners currently working in academia or other research
oriented environments,
> design practitioners considering engaging in postgraduate research.
