WORKSHOP :: Informing the design of the future urban landscape
The 7th Creativity and Cognition Conference
Berkeley Art Museum & UC Berkeley, USA, October 27–30 2009
This workshop will identify emerging design themes by bringing
together practitioners from across disciplines. Participants in the
workshop will collaborate in a practical exercise designed to reveal
issues that will increasingly impact upon the design of the products
and services that will populate the urban landscape in the near
future. The outcome of this half-day workshop will be the
identification of challenges that designers and technologists will
have to address as they shape the media-rich urban landscape.
Workshop Leaders: Michael Smyth & Ingi Helgason, Centre for
Interaction Design, Edinburgh Napier University, UK

CREATIVITY IS PRESENT IN ALL WE DO
The 7th Creativity and Cognition Conference (CC09) embraces the broad
theme of Everyday Creativity. This year the conference will be held at
the Berkeley Art Museum (CA, USA), and asks: How do we enable everyone
to enjoy their creative potential? How do our creative activities
differ? What do they have in common? What languages can we use to talk
to each other? How do shared languages support collective action? How
can we incubate innovation? How do we enrich the creative experience?
What encourages participation in everyday creativity?
