Dialogues
DESIGN FUTURES is an innovative project that promotes interaction and dialogue between the field of design and various areas of knowledge, promoting reflection and discussion on current global design challenges, including large-scale systemic problems, new entrepreneurial projects, new products and services, new design methods, processes and strategies that contribute to building visions for a more sustainable and resilient, safe and ethical future.
During the following months, at the Faculty of Fine Arts - University of Lisbon, several design thinkers are invited to present and discuss different Design Futures themes.
