Design Research Methods Festival | 05–07.11.2018
Organisation: Minou Afzali, Miriam Koban
Lecture of Gerlinde Schuller, specialized in information design and visual journalism and founded The World as Flatland.
She spoke to us about how to present complex design stories. How to approach complexity!
She gives an example with this movie about the statistics of the city of Amsterdam, on stage with actors! It’s very interesting because there are notions of time that could be useful for my exhibition project.
Lecture of Catalina Jossen Cardozo, founder of By Maria
She presented us with the design processes she used for her project of making shoes on demand. We then did a workshop in groups to put the business canvas into practice.

Exhibition of the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, 05.10.2018–03.02.2019
A loom to start a business, a do-it-yourself house, or a solar kiosk for local power supply: social design is design for and with society — and highly topical. The consequences of the global growth economy are becoming increasingly severe for both human beings and the environment. Social design confronts the increasing imbalance of resources, means of production, and future opportunities and relies on a new, equitable exchange between the individual, civil society, the state, and the economy. Against this background, architects, designers, craftsperson, and engineers are all developing solutions. This exhibition presents relevant international projects and discusses the redesign of social systems, as well as of living and working environments.
Anyone and everyone can help shape society!
The exhibition integrates a forum enabling visitors to share their own knowledge, opinions, and ideas.
«Design always stands in a social context. While I was working on Social Design, the political situation in many parts of the world developed in a way that I would not have thought possible. I am glad that there are designers and initiatives whose projects are embracing this challenge and have the world as a whole in mind.»
Angeli Sachs, Curator
