February 10th 2015 from 14.00 to 16.00, at the Design School at KADK, Holmen, building 90, room 90.3.15
We are happy to invite you to a seminar with Barbara Szaniecki and Zoy Anastassakis from the Design Anthropology Laboratory (LaDA) of the School of Industrial Design at the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Their visit is part of a newly established bilateral network activity between LaDA and the Codesign Research Centre (CODE) at KADK funded by the Danish Agency for Science Technology and Innovation. Both LaDA and CODE are involved in citizen participation projects for urban renewal employing codesign methodologies. As part of the network activity the involved faculty and doctoral and master students will get an opportunity to explore and compare how different forms of citizen participation are invoked by these methodologies across social and cultural differences.
Conversation dispositifs facilitates communication with passerby + analysing by drawing.
Focus of this first seminar is on:
How has the design culture and the active practice of citizenship developed in Brazil and Denmark? How have the notions of engagement, participation, collaboration and community brought the worlds of citizenship and design together? In these two distant geographical contexts, how was design discipline formed, and in what ways has design been facilitating and/or dynamizing the processes of citizen participation? These are some of the questions we intend to discuss during this meeting; which brings together design researchers from Denmark and Brazil to explore the possibilities of applying the processes and procedures of collaborative design in service of the increase of citizenship in democratic contexts through news forms of participation.
Students, teachers and passerby discuss the results exposed on the outside of Esdi walls.
