The speakers in this grand rounds series treat design as the critical opportunity to address a or several challenging contemporary technical issues. While working in different material realms their entrepreneurial activity draws designability into realms that have been closed to reimagination, thought solved OR inevitable.These speakers have individually reinvented the laptop, the window, the map, fundamental electrical connections, the structure of competitive markets and other devices that previously seemed so complete and unchangeable. In so doing, they explore the opportunities for social change that technical changes present, change the scope of design and our chance at significantly redesigning our urban environmental future.
Presented by Center for Architecture, Buckminster Fuller Institute, and NYU
