Dear All
There are still a few places left at this year's Design Development and
Research Conference in Bellville, Cape Town from 2-5 September.
To register, visit http://www.design-development-research.co.za/
Judging by the success of the one of 2011, this one is going to be great
too!
Design and designing are at a tipping point where their inherent
prefiguring nature and directionality* demands careful investigation and
engagement by thinkers, teachers and practitioners alike.
Design projects have become increasingly multi-disciplinary in their
stimulation of discussion and debate in fields such as business, ethics,
philosophy, political science, ICT, life sciences and biology. Design is
exposed to a wider societal arena and this calls for dialogue around the
big question: 'How do we design and research not for the way things are,
but for the way things could be?'
This conference aims to stimulate debate and elicit thought provoking
responses from the design community, both in academia and in practice, that
will help develop the dynamic discourse of design, its processes and
development, its intent, its dilemmas and outcomes.

keynote talk at 360 Degrees Conference.
