We would like to thank everyone who participated in our UID Design Talks 2009 event earlier in June. We hope you enjoyed the presentations, workshops and other activities related to the event.
The five presentations are now available online at the Design Talks& videos page:
Ben Cerveny - Play at creativity
Penny Sparke - Design and its history: from modernism to postmodernism
Maria Benktzon - Practising inclusive design: early beginnings and greatest hits
Lena Berglin - Interactive textile structures creating multifunctional textiles based on smart materials
Uta Brandes - Designing gender or the Gender of design
We will post pictures of the event very soon. We invite you also to check the Degree Exhibition 2009 website.
Organizing and hosting such an event requires planning, organization and various resources. In order to constantly improve the quality and relevance of our Design Talks events, we would greatly appreciate if you could give us your feedback on this year&s edition. You can complete a small survey online. It takes less than 5 minutes and it will help us tremendously.
On behalf of Umeå Institute of Design and the Design Talks team, we wish you a great summer and hope to see you in Umeå for UID Design Talks 2010!
