Think Design | Change the Future Designers have always been in the business of change, but our increasingly volatile and complex world demands that we view the concept of change through a new lens. We can no longer approach creativity and innovation from a linear, incremental or iterative prospective, but must instead harness and leverage a more provocative and transformative way of thinking and acting if humanity is to mature. In this presentation, participants will hear how the practice of Futures Thinking and Foresight will help today’s designers to imagine new categories, reframe systems of abstraction and discover emerging ontologies. As famed futurist Jim Dator is fond of saying, “Any useful idea about the future must appear to be ridiculous.” Speaker: Frank Spencer, Kedge |

A "Sense"ational Cooking Experience Sight, smell, sound, touch and taste... all work together when preparing, cooking and serving a meal, and are arguably the most important tools in any chef's toolkit. However, for the blind and visually impaired, cooking without sight presents challenges which can't be solved by just checking in the back of the cookbook! Join in as we tell the story of how a group of CCAD students partnered up with FirstBuild and GE Appliances to tackle the complex problem of accessibility in the kitchen, whipping out a solution which provides a truly "Sense"ational cooking experience for the visually impaired! Speaker: Symon Harrah, IDSA, FirstBuild |
