22 - 24 September 2014

Johannesburg 26°12'16'S 28°2'44°E , South Africa

Max number of paper contributions: 54

Conference Theme

In 2007, the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum hosted an exhibition entitled 'Design for the other 90%' which
focused on design solutions that addressed the most basic needs of the 90% of the world's population not traditionally served by
professional designers. In 2008, Cumulus members signed the Kyoto Declaration, wherein they committed themselves to the ideals of
sustainable development. The Cumulus Conference to be hosted by GDC and FADA seeks to bring discussions around the role art and
design can and should play in sustainable social advancement, particularly in the context of the African Continent. Focusing on
notions of respect, responsibility and sustainability, this conference seeks to explore the vital role that design, visual culture and
design education plays in addressing pressing problems of our planet, particularly for under-served communities that are rarely
benefactors of the work of artists and designers. It is envisaged that Africa's distinctive capacity to respond to such problems will be
highlighted.

Contributions are invited for the following streams:


1)    Respect and responsibility:


This stream explores the social responsibilities of designers in their engagements with communities in a variety of
social, cultural and political contexts. It is envisaged that papers will deal with the following issues:
- Collaboration and participatory design: interactivity, responsiveness, and re_exivity
- Design for diversity: site, culture, gender, disability, history and identity
- Multidisciplinary and cross-professional approaches to design


2)    Sustainability:

3)
This stream foregrounds the economic and environmental aspects of sustainable design, and may address the
following:
- Adaptive reuse, design and preservation
- Nature as design resource
- Best practice for designing in developing and under-resourced communities
- Roles of government, the individual, industry and commerce in sustainable design


4)    Socially responsible design education:


This stream focuses on the role and importance, as well as challenges, of design education in furthering sustainable
and socially responsible design. Possible topics may include:
- Cases of best practice in socially responsible design education
- Critique of dominant educational strategies
- Graduate attributes of the next generation of designers

The event

The event will run for three days from 22 to 24 September 2014. The following will be included:

- Addresses by three international keynote speakers
- Presentation of conferences papers in the mornings
- Breakaway sessions in the afternoons
- An exhibition of student and alumni work from both institutions
- A gala dinner (additional cost)
- An exhibition of academic posters at GDC

Call for Abstracts from Professionals and Educators

Contributions are welcome on all topics related to design, design education, and visual culture more broadly as they relate to the
rubric of this conference. The theme encourages dialogue between di_erent disciplines that may include (but is not restricted to)
design, installation art, performance art, public art, interior design, architecture, the built environment and craft initiatives.
The editorial committee for the conference will review abstracts of 400-600 words. Authors whose abstracts are accepted will be
invited to produce a full conference paper not exceeding 2,500 words and to present the paper at the conference. Thus, authors are
accepted to present at the conference based on acceptance of the abstract. In addition, full papers will be reviewed by the editorial
committee to provide formative feedback before the conference. Presenters will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation and 5
minutes for discussion.

Abstracts will be evaluated against the following criteria:

- Significance of the paper to the theme of the conference (i.e. that it makes a meaningful and valuable contribution to the
issues that the conference seeks to explore)
- Appropriate relation to the discipline (i.e. that it is relevant to the _elds of art, design and architecture)
- Quality of the research, originality and academic rigour (i.e. that the research is new and original, based on sound
methodologies, and the writing follows academic protocol)
