Counting Creativity: Routine, Regulation and Evaluation in Design 
A Two-Day Symposium. 12-13 July 2007

The Leeds School of Architecture, Landscape and Design, Leeds Metropolitan
University, Hepworth Point 
Claypit Lane, Leeds LS2 8BQ

This Symposium is the second event of a project that looks at the role of
audit culture, measurement, evaluation, routine, performance indicators,
reporting, systemization and accountability in design … all those things
that are said to dog ‘true’ creativity and yet are omnipresent. 

Invited speakers will analyse both the issues of policy and political
economy that drive this effect and the everyday actions of designers within
this ‘other side’ of creative practice.

Speakers are drawn nationally and internationally, from both academia and
professional practice.  They represent a broad range of design disciplines
from exhibition and cinema design to urban design and graphics.

Speakers
James Heartfield, University of Westminster     ‘Cloning the Creative City’
Doug Sandle, Leeds Metropolitan University/RKL Associates ‘Issues in the
Evaluation Of Public Art’
Katie Hill, Erskine LLP ‘Regulating Play and Creativity’
Annabel Jackson, Consultant ‘Using Logic Models To Define Outcomes For
Measurement In Design’
Jane Pavitt, Victoria & Albert Museum/Brighton University, ‘Exhibition
Design:  Promotion and Public Policy’
Damian Sutton, Glasgow School of Art ‘Cinema as Design’
Paul Springer, Buckingham Chilterns University College  ‘How Agencies Use
Auditing Processes To Sell Themselves’
Annemarie Ennis, Kato Design/Concordia University, Montreal ‘Routinized
Labour in the Design Studio’
Sarah Owens, Augsburg/London  ‘Continuity vs. Creativity?  Strategies in
Editorial Design Practice’


Thursday 12 July, 1800  Public discussion event:  
Can Creativity In Design Be Counted?
