Design: Sites and Histories Research Group at London Metropolitan
University announces the annual, international Design History Society
conference to be held 7-9 September 2005 in Goulston Street, London, E1.
locating design is devoted to a consideration of design in/and place,
both material and imagined, as co-constitutive. The conference will address
design as contingent upon place and explores the networks and linkages
between design in/and place as a complex that is affiliative and
layered. The East
End of London – where this conference is to be held – is instructive of
these ideas, demonstrating the immense investment of design /material
culture in the construction of place. This East End site suggests that
the confluence of ‘design’ and ‘place’ across local and global networks
is as historically resonant as it is significant today.
locating design also
seeks to maintain an interdisciplinary approach to thinking about
design and its place in cultural history.
