SORRY for sending this to the entire list. It happened though I merely 
pressed 'Respond' and not 'Respond to All'. It was of course only meant for 
the conference organisers.
Best wishes
Kristina

> WORKSHOP?
>
> I am presenting a paper in Helsinki now in May under the heading of  "A 
> True Public Place". It is a report and analysis of an applied method to 
> regenerate cultural spaces and places and refers to a real life project.
> My theoretical approach is built on research focusing human centered 
> methods, not least how these considers sensual experiences as explained 
> by, among others, Pallasmaa and Zumthor. Furthermore, I also explore the 
> link between human centered and sustainability under the heading of 
> affective sustainability, which is a notion I established 6 years ago as a 
> result of my own research.
>
> For Santiago, I would like investigate and explore the subject of human 
> centered further by arranging a workshop under the heading of "Making 
> matters Matter to Man".
> Background:
> Arriving at sustainable lifestyles is not merely a matter of technology 
> and politics. It is about making humans co-operate and contribute more or 
> less intuitively, by lived rather than learned experience. It is to 
> design, build and plan with, rather than against, human nature: our 
> inbuilt competence for survival and protection as also our navigation 
> through sensual experiences. Human centered as it is applied today does 
> all too often not address these issues in a way which merits the prefix 
> 'human'. It is still about 'users' and overtly simplified definitions of 
> emotions, intuition and the rational human.
> My workshop is meant to challenge a mix of design and architect 
> practitioners and academics from different cultures on "how to make 
> matters matter to man": to discuss which theories are informing them and 
> how to best apply them.
>
> Would this be of interest to the conference?
>
> Looking forward to hear from you.

> Local Context:
>
> Chile defines the term innovation as a way to achieve competitiveness.  In 
> 2005, the Chilean government boosted the National Innovation Council to 
> conduct a series of surveys, analysis and recommendations in order to 
> develop a National Innovation Strategy.
>
> This National Innovation Strategy aims to develop dynamic competitive 
> advantages which will give better stability levels for human capital 
> education and technological innovation.
>
> Duoc UC is a key-player and one of the leading institutions of the region, 
> offering a hands-on approach and industry-focused programs of 2 and 
> 4-years long. Founded by the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 
> DuocUC is part of its network.  In 2010 Duoc UC obtained a 7 out of 7 year 
> institutional accreditation from the National Commission of Accreditation 
> (CNA), which confirms the soundness of its project and its relevance among 
> the higher education institutions in the country.
>
> The School of Design -located in the San Carlos de Apoquindo Campus - is 
> one of the most important and older Schools of DuocUC.  Its goal for the 
> 21st century is to contribute to the cultural enrichment of Chile by 
> training future professionals and technicians who will make up the carious 
> job niches in the design field of tomorrow.
>
>
>
> Venue / Facilities:
>
> The Technological Design Center, located in the San Carlos de Apoquindo 
> Campus, is the unit in charge of providing management support to the 
> School of Design.  Its role is to improve the educational process and to 
> develop skills, promoting competence-based learning, systematic 
> procedures, corporate partnerships, all this supported by different 
> networks of collaboration.
>
> The San Carlos de Apoquindo campus offers many facilities such as an 
> Auditorium for 200 persons, a hall for exhibitions, a TV Studio with the 
> best technology that can hold 250 persons and a Technology Design Center 
> for experimental development.
>
> Conference description
>
> Concept idea:
>
> Building a global design bridge to seek new opportunities and challenges 
> in Design.  Find out what is happening in the global design community 
> through four windows or gates in order to facilitate the face-to-face 
> interaction among education, promotion, professional and corporate 
> stakeholders.
>
> This intercultural experience will be a great opportunity for emerging 
> economies to learn about the differences and similarities amongst them.
>
> CONFERENCE TOPICS
>
> The common concept for the 2012 Conferences to be held in May in Helsinki, 
> Finland and in November in Santiago, Chile, considers 4 topics divided 
> into four axes which will be common for both conferences.
>
> -          Innovation issues:  challenges and opportunities.
>
> -          Sustainability issues, challenges and opportunities.
>
> -          Professional practice and market issues:  challenges and 
> opportunities.
>
> -          Education and overcrowded issues:  challenges and 
> opportunities.
>
> These four topics will be addressed in Helsinki from an academic 
> perspective (essays, research, papers, etc.) and in Chile considering the 
> experience and accomplishment in different markets and industries.
>
> We wish to provide for each topic a practical approach based on experience 
> combining practical activities and know-how.
>
> This Conference will be preceded by the Latam Design Summit, on November 
> 14th, 2011.
