In three panels\, international speakers present solutions and best practice examples for the major project of the future – its’ very own rescue. Design will take a significant role in it. \nTechnically\, the future had already been planned. We knew the problems as well as their solutions. The implementation was next. And then everything changed in an instant. “Today is tomorrow’s yesterday” as we like to say. Back to Square One then. It’s all about rethinking and redesigning the future\, today more than ever. And here we have the online symposium’s topic which approaches the future in different ways. This also calls for a philosophical and spiritual base/foundation\, as described in Stuart Walker’s latest book “Design And Spirituality”. He will open the symposium with a keynote\, followed by 3 panels dealing with the following topics: the future of design education\, the complex topic of climate in public space and design that puts people center stage even more. \nLiveStream: \n\n\n\nYou are currently viewing a placeholder content from Default.

Nowadays already 80 percent of the world’s population work in cities and large agglomerations\, particularly in Asia and Latin America. It has a serious impact on the cities which face a threatening climatic collapse if drastic countermeasures aren’t taken. This calls for ideas\, political and urban development willingness as well as appropriate infrastructure that enables the production\, accumulation and consumption of energy on a local scale. And: “It needs precisely thought out solutions\, so people can drive forward climate transformation in an active and financially effective way” says Bernhard Puttinger\, CEO of the Green Tech Cluster who is the symposium’s cooperation partner. The key question in this context is: how can technology go hand in hand with humans? Answers are provided by Karlheinz Boiger of Breathe Earth Collective (see also page 14 in this magazine) and architect and city planner Aglaée Degros of Technical University Graz. \n  \n_SPEAKER 1: KARLHEINZ BOIGER\, BREATHE EARTH COLLECTIVE\nThe Breathe Earth Collective\, a transdisciplinary network of designers\, architects\, landscape designers\, urbanists and artists working on of the most important social\, environmental and technological challenge of our time: air and climate within cities.\nwww.breatheearth.net \n  \nKarlheinz Boiger \n\n  \nAbstract\nTitel: Can future cities perform like a forest?\nUrban agglomerations\, cities\, will continue to grow in the future. As early as 2020\, urbanization will enable more than 80% of the world’s population to live and work in cities and urban areas. Strategies for dealing with climate change therefore play a crucial role in the future of cities both globally and locally. New ways of cooling\, air-conditioning and improving the air quality of existing and built cities in order to reduce the „urban heat islands effect“ in the long term must be developed to ensure a quality of life in our cities. If we understand the city as an organism\, we also have to think and design the city of the future as an ecological systemic body that can actively contribute to the climate and the environment. This approach changes the notion of architecture itself. Architecture is no longer merely a passive shell that protects us from the climate\, but it itself becomes part of this living organism in the naturally networked system\, becoming itself an active part of the complex. \n  \n_SPEAKER 2: AGLAÉE DEGROS | TU GRAZ\, INSTITUT FÜR STÄDTEBAU​\nAglaée Degros is professor and chair of the Institute of Urbanism at Graz University of Technology and Science Fellow at the Free University of Brussels. In 2001\, she cofounded with Stefan Bendiks Artgineering\, an office dedicated to improve the relation between landscape\, city and infrastrutcure.\nwww.tugraz.at \n  \nAglaée Degros \n  \nAbstract\nTitel: Urban Climate Surfaces\nUsing a number of examples\, the lecture deals with the transformation of traffic space into public space and the potential of this conversion to improve the climate. Redesigning traffic space not only influences the modal split of a city\, but also enables the reactivation of ecosystems\, as surfaces can be unsealed\, resulting in a public realm with more green and less asphalt. It also makes it possible to better integrate public space into metabolic cycles and ideally improve them. This refers not only to improving air quality and reducing the impact of the urban heat island through planting\, but also to water\, soil\, material\, waste and energy cycles. \n  \n_SPEAKER 3: DARIA MAYSKAYA\, ENERGIE STEIERMARK KUNDEN GMBH\nAbstract\nTitel: Future Energy Communities \nmore infos will follow shortly \n\nPANEL 3\nDESIGNING FOR PEOPLE\n\n\n\n\n\nModeration: Sigrid Bürstmayr\nhosted by FH JOANNEUM\n \nWith all the various tasks of design\, one thing remains the same: design is made for human beings therefore human beings are design’s main focus. The symposium’s third panel shows that not everything is always equally suitable and useful at the same time. “Design always depends on the cultural\, geographic and socio-economical background it was created in” says Sigrid Bürstmayr\, designer and tutor at Department for Design and Communication at FH JOANNEUM. Equally diverse are this panel‘s speakers. Mariana González de la Rosa of Universidad Puebla in Mexico talks about how social and solidarity-based economies in the design area can be pushed forward\, particularly against the background of partly difficult economic conditions. Further contributions come from Angus Campbell of Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland/New Zealand as well as designer and design intermediary Emanuel Barbosa of Design College ESAD in Porto. \n  \n\n_SPEAKER 1: MARIANA GONZÁLEZ DE LA ROSA\, COORDINATOR OF THE BA DEGREE IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN\, UNIVERSIDAD IBEROAMERICANA PUEBLA\nShe is industrial designer\, CONACYT fellow in the Industrial Design Postgraduate UNAM\, Diploma in Social Economy and Cooperative Entrepreneurship. Manager and facilitator of Saberes y Sabores de Puebla project associated with the UNESCO Design Cities Network. Some publications: “Augmented Reality as a tool to build identity and appropriation of public spaces” and “Geo Referenced Map for Participatory Design.” \n  \nMariana de la Rosa© Luz De la Rosa \nAbstract\nTitel: Alternative economies\, another way to rethink design practices for the people\nIf the world is transforming through ecological\, political\, economic and social movements\, why does industrial design in Mexico continue a strong tradition towards aesthetic objects? As coordinator of an industrial design program\, I face a market disconnected from sustainable practices and the power of design to transform our social realities. The root becomes deeper being a peripheral country where the term economic development is another colonizing form to determine the designer practices. Design for people should be focused on our pluriverse realities; In that sense\, understanding design from the south perpective show us other alternatives to train us and insert ourselves into models of social and solidarity economy\, a figure that seeks to respond to the needs of our context. \n  \n_SPEAKER 2: EMANUEL BARBOSA | DESIGNER\, DESIGN EDUCATOR AND CURATOR\, ESAD – COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN\, MATOSINHOS PORTO\n\n  \nEmanuel Barbosa is a designer\, educator and researcher from Porto\, Portugal. Since 1998 teaches Design at ESAD Matosinhos. From 2012 to 2016 was creative director of Casa International magazine (Beijing). Founder and member of FDTG – From Denim to Green\, Founder and President of ACPT – Portuguese Cultural Association. International coordinator of ESAD. Curator and promotor of design and creativity events in Porto\, Matosinhos\, Águeda\, Lisbon\, Berlin\, London\, Ludwigsbourg\, Beijing\, Macau and Zhuhai. His texts have been published in Baseline (UK)\, Pli (PT)\, Lookvision (PT)\, Slanted (DE)\, DeForma (ES)\, Package Design (CN)\, Identity (RU) and Casa International (CN). \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmanuel Barbosa© Joao Pádua \nAbstract\nTitel: What can we do?\n\n\n\n\nThe growth in textile production and consumption has brought environmental consequences\, including deforestation\, contamination of rivers\, greenhouse effect and a constant threat to species.Unlike the impact of petroleum industry and all its derivatives\, few of us are aware of how polluting the fashion industry is and how many natural resources are consumed in its production.In Portugal\, a small group of people created an awareness network to alert society to the environmental impact of the textile industry and to seek to create a collection network for used clothing and textile waste to make new environmentally friendly solutions and products. \n  \n\n\n_SPEAKER 3: ANGUS CAMPBELL | DESIGN PROGRAMME LEAD AND SENIOR LECTURER\, ELAM SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND\n\nAngus Donald Campbell is the Design Programme Lead and Senior Lecturer in the Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland. He has a Doctorate in Development Studies and a Master’s in Industrial Design with 18 years of university lecturing\, practice-based research and freelance design experience. Most of his work is passionately focused on local and sustainable innovation at the complex nexus of social\, technological and ecological systems.\nwww.angusdonaldcampbell.com \n  \nAngus Campbell© Marie Aoun \n\nAbstract\nTitle: Designing with & beyond people\nMost designers want to “change the world” and although design processes have become more participatory\, when working in contexts with extreme inequality and within communities that are not one’s own\, it is difficult to manage bias. Most of my design work in South Africa has been passionately focused on local and sustainable innovation at the nexus of complex social and technological systems. Using a conscious decolonial method\, I have found that identifying local lay design innovation and then using my design expertise to amplify existing grassroots passion and creativity can lead to far more authentic and sustainable outcomes. However\, with expanding environmental crises\, designers need to situate themselves not only in human contexts but also bridge into broader ecological systems.

However\, we must be careful not to simply frame the path to recovery in the same language and with the same thinking that has brought us to our current state of precariousness. A crucial part of this will be to reject the progress-entrenched thinking that has been causing so much harm for so long. This talk explores how design can contribute to this recovery. It means rejecting forms of design that yield innovation for its own sake and endless superficial novelty. Instead\, it requires new forms of context-appropriate design whose outputs are not only environmentally responsible but also manifestations of ethical behaviour and meaningful contributions to human culture. \n  \n  \nPanel 1: THE FUTURE OF DESIGN EDUCATION\nhosted by FH JOANNEUM\, Karl Stocker\nModeration: Karl Stocker \nDesign has accompanied the development of humankind from the beginning and especially in the last 150 years was actively involved in the development of modern industrial society. This results in a great/high social responsibility for the future which reflects in the curricula of traditional universities as well as universities of applied sciences. “In design education worldwide\, design is being described as an improvement of the status quo as well as an innovation” says Karl Stocker\, symposium curator and Head of Department for Design and Communication at FH JOANNEUM. A contradiction to the common perception of design that merely aims for aesthetic styling. It is rather the question of a wholistic perspective which also takes ethical aspects into account. Therefore\, a modern design education is also an investment into shaping the future. In their lectures\, Kerstin Scheuch of CENTRO University in Mexico City\, Lorenzo Imbesi of Sapienza University Rome and Luisa Bocchietto of Citta del Arte in Biella will speak on these topics. \n\nF o r   a   d e t a i l e d   v i e w   o f   t h e   p r o g r a m   o f   d a y   1   p l e a s e   c l i c k \nH E R E. \n\n  \nMODERATION: Karl Stocker \nwww.fh-joanneum.at \nKarl Stocker is a historian and the head of the Institute of Design & Communication at the FH JOANNEUM – University of Applied Sciences in Graz\, Austria.

She has carried out urban recovery\, building renovation and urban planning projects\, worked as an art director for companies in the furniture sector and as a visiting professor for many design schools. She has written architecture and design texts and held conferences in Italy and abroad. She participates in international juries and design promotion events around the world. \nLuisa Bocchietto \n\nAbstract\nTitle: Design from products to solutions\nAfter the industrial revolution\, a period following which design was born\, we are today in another revolution\, the digital one.The dematerialization process that this revolution has introduced also affects design\, which no longer deals only with material products\, but also with processes and services.\nToday we use the same methodology developed in the last 100 years\, to create aesthetic and functional products (form and function) produced industrially\, to develop also more intangible processes and services for the community.If previously at the center of our interest there was man\, with his needs\, including in this the application of ergonomics\, the development of attention for design for all\, up to the satisfaction of his dreams\, now we must change the paradigm and focus on respect for the planet. Man must take a step back and\, humbly\, start thinking not only about his own desires\, but about the common good.\nIt is an urgent need that we have all become more aware of. The period of the pandemic we are experiencing has made us touch the imbalances that we have introduced with our thirst for conquest\, production and consumption. We must combine the theme of aesthetics with that of ethics. There can be no more beauty without taking responsibility. There can be no more innovation without sustainability.\nThis does not mean stopping producing\, growing and innovating\, but we will have to know how to do it in a smarter way\, reducing waste and optimizing non-renewable resources. Perhaps we will have to give up designing goods in favor of solutions and services that allow us to live better together. This paradigm shift opens up new scenarios that offer great research opportunities for young designers. They will be asked for a multidisciplinary approach\, an ability to listen to the needs of larger groups of interlocutors and an ability to synthesize form\, function and sustainability. I see sustainability as a third element that is inseparable from the first two\, those aspects that we have already learned to manage over time; now they will have to integrate with this new criterion. I am thinking of sustainability not only as an environmental component\, but also as an economic and social component. This is why we understand the path as a design growth that moves from the product to the entire production process\, to ensure a conscious approach from the very beginning of the work. Design can influence production methods\, reducing the consumption of materials and the production of waste\, as well as being able to contribute to reducing pollution\, social and gender imbalances\, favoring accessibility to services and basic goods in the direction of supporting the achievement of 20/30 United Nations goals (UNsd Goals). \n\n_SPEAKER 2: KERSTIN SCHEUCH | CENTRO MEXICO​\nKerstin Scheuch is founding member of CENTRO and Director general since its opening in 2004. She is an expert in strategy\, innovation and education\, and is featured in the book: \nWomen of Design: Influence and Inspiration.  \nCENTRO\, an institution for higher education in design\, architecture\, digital media and film in Mexico City.\nwww.3.centro.edu.mx \n  \n© José Jasso \nAbstract\nTitle: Reflections on the future of education\nIn 2017 CENTRO organized an international conference on artificial intelligence and creativity with leading experts. I asked them about future priorities in higher education\, and they coincided: data and ethics. What seemed visionary then\, during the pandemic and recent crises across industries\, politics and citizenship has become imminent: Higher education on all levels and independent of segment\, subject matter or format has to be rebuilt on these two foundations. \nIn my participation I would like to highlight the paradigm shift in educational processes\, structures\, environments\, technologies and particularly objectives\, that has been taking place for more than two decades. I will argue that a desirable future within the context of systemic complexity\, inequality and acceleration is only possible through the participation of all stakeholders and a creative and collaborative re-invention of the entire educational system. \n_Speaker 3: Lorenzo Imbesi | Sapienza University Rome\n\nLorenzo Imbesi is an Architect\, PhD and Full Professor at Sapienza University of Rome\, where he is Director of SDR Sapienza Design Research Interdepartmental Centre and Chair of the Design Unit of the PhD Program. \n\nHe is a member of the Cumulus Association Executive Board\, a member of the Executive Committee of EAD European Academy of Design\, a member of the Board of SID Italian Society of Design\, and he has been visiting Professor in many international Universities. Also\, he is the author of many papers in journals and books.\nwww.uniroma1.it \n  \n \n\nAbstract\nTitel: Design Education in the Post-Industrial Age\nThe historical epistemological shift from the fordist-taylorist paradigm of mass production into the post-industrial development draws a new economic and productive geography: as the industry of the chain assembly leaves space to new forms of labour and production along the so-called knowledge society and the rise of new technologies\, design education focuses the new scenarios rising for the creative professions and the chances for the experimentation of new critical keys beside market.

Events such as exhibitions\, workshops or lectures invite you to network in the UNESCO City of Design Graz. \nDesign Month Graz bundles and condenses the energy of the local creative industries within one month\, makes it visible to the outside world and thus makes a central contribution to anchoring the creative industries in people’s consciousness. It provides a space for innovative projects – be it experimental or commercial – and thus heightens the perception of the meaning of design: it is not about purely decorative behaviors (design as styling)\, but about the economic relevance (design as development and value added process) as well as the transformational power of design in economy and society. \nNumerous local partners are also involved in Design Month Graz. The term “design month” acts as an umbrella brand and assembles the individual activities under one uniform appearance\, without jeopardizing their independence. The Creative Industries Styria coordinates and organises the Designmonat Graz and spans a substantive and programmatic range from a variety of individual initiatives from designers to the large local design training institutions\, thereby enabling synergies and cooperation between the creative industries and “classic” companies. \nFrom May 8 to June 6\, 2021\, a dense and diverse program will be presented in the Austrian UNESCO City of Design. Exhibitions\, lectures\, workshops\, presentations and guided tours bring the value and meaning of design to the public. It puts the city in a state of exception in which design can be perceived everywhere. \nDesign Month Graz 2021 focuses its program on the topic “Better Future”. \n  \nwww.designmonat.at \n  URL:https://designcities.net/events/design-month-graz-2020/ LOCATION:Graz\, Graz\, 8010\, Austria CATEGORIES:Design Month,Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://designcities.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/DMG-Better-Future-Artikelbild-2021.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210428 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210429 DTSTAMP:20260618T000158 CREATED:20210413T072657Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210430T122940Z UID:7867-1619568000-1619654399@designcities.net SUMMARY:Mobility of the future - Automotive Workshop // 28 April 2021 DESCRIPTION:Cité du design Saint-Etienne has the pleasure to invite you to participate in Mobility of the future\, a virtual workshop on the Automotive theme\, organized in collaboration with 6 others UNESCO Creative Cities of Design (Detroit\, Geelong\, Graz\, Kortrijk\, Puebla\, Torino) on April 27 and April 28\, 2021. Over the past year\, these cities have been acting as experts in the field of the automotive industry and have come together to share their experience\, projects and vision of tomorrow’s mobility. \n  \n\n\n\nPART 1 April 28\n[10am – 12am CET]\n\n10h-12h\n\n“The automobile is in question\, it’s no longer a personal property.\nSo\, which bifurcation shall we take?” (object scale\, human scale\, urban scale) \n\nGroup 1: HUMAN SCALE workshop (on registration)\nLet us work together on a concrete project in Saint-Etienne and Torino!\n\n  \n\nGroup 2: URBAN SCALE workshop (on registration)\nLet us work together on a concrete project in Kortrijk and Graz!\n\n  \nPART 2 – April 28\n[12am-14:30pm CET]\n  \n\n12-12h30 Virtual Tour Around Autofiction\n\n  \n12h30-13h Break➔ Surprise guest! \n  \n\n13h-14h30 Final share and lessons learned moment and general conclusion URL:https://designcities.net/events/mobility-of-the-future-automotive-workshop-28-april-2021/ CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://designcities.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Bildschirmfoto-2021-04-13-um-08.45.49.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210427 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210428 DTSTAMP:20260618T000158 CREATED:20210413T064714Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210428T075152Z UID:7862-1619481600-1619567999@designcities.net SUMMARY:Mobility of the future - Automotive Workshop // 27 April 2021 DESCRIPTION:Cité du design Saint-Etienne has the pleasure to invite you to participate in Mobility of the future\, a virtual workshop on the Automotive theme\, organized in collaboration with 6 others UNESCO Creative Cities of Design (Detroit\, Geelong\, Graz\, Kortrijk\, Puebla\, Torino) on April 27 and April 28\, 2021. Over the past year\, these cities have been acting as experts in the field of the automotive industry and have come together to share their experience\, projects and vision of tomorrow’s mobility. \n\n\n\nPART 1 April 27\n[12am – 14:30pm CET]\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n12-12h30 Virtual Tour Around Autofiction\n12h30-13h Introduction\n\n–  Saint-Etienne 10 years as UNESCO Creative City of Design \n–  Keynote speaker on the Automotive topics \n\n13h-14h15 Vision of future mobility apprehended at 3 scales\n\nBrief presentation à la Pecha Kucha ! \n  \n\nA.)

Redesigning a changing world DESCRIPTION:Bilbao Bizkaia Design Week (BBDW) is an event organized by the Bilbao Bizkaia Design Council (BiDC)\, an initiative of Bilbao City Council and the Biscay Provincial Council to promote the creative industries as a factor of economic development and national and international projection of Biscay. This event includes a number of activities which will take place in different spaces around the city\, both physically both virtually. These are scheduled by the leading stakeholders of the Bilbao-Bizkaia design ecosystem. \nThe theme of the sixth edition consists on redesigning a changing world. The main challenges include bringing awareness of the changes that are taking place globally\, increased by the pandemic and the socioeconomic crisis\, to try to provide solutions from the different cultural and creative sectors. \nTherefore\, for this BBDW20 we propose EmpathyRE as the main theme. Empathy as an attitude to REbuild a fairer and more sustainable world. Empathy as the principle that helps us to REdefine the ways we relate; to REdesign the devices\, interfaces and tools with which we interact\, as well as the products and services that we produce; to REthink our value systems\, care\, health\, education\, mobility\, production and inhabitation ways. In short\, our forms of coexistence\, culture\, consumption and leisure. \nIt will be a Design Week of recognition\, meeting and working in common between the different leading figures of all these processes of transition and change: business professionals\, institutions and social entities\, as the citizenship or the training centers\, and in relationship with the industrial fabric. A perfect occasion for considering alternatives and coming up with ideas and concrete proposals for the construction and rebuilding of a more empathetic and sustainable society.

They rose to the occasion and shouldered the responsibility\, providing strong creative support in the battle. They continue to take a leading position to ensure a high-quality development of the city\, opening up new opportunities in crises and blaze new roads in changing situation. \nThis year\, Wuhan UNESCO City of Design is pleased to embrace its second edition of Wuhan Design Day on November 1st 2020 at China Architecture Science and Technology Museum. Themed around “ New Ideas ·New Patterns”\, multiple activities will be organized to show to the world a fresh new Wuhan during the one-day event including Anti-pandemic Theme Exhibition\, Wuhan Creative Design Contest\, Wuhan Design Release and Wuhan Innovative Forum. Revolving around the core agenda of the city’s urban development\, the objective of this celebration is to further unleash the creativity of the design communities and transform their heroic spirit aroused in battling the pandemic into the impetus of high quality development of the city.

This has always been true\, and not just in times of crisis. What a crisis can strengthen\, however is our perception of good design. A key role within this process is played by design itself. More than just a method\, “Design Thinking” is\, in fact\, an attitude\, a mindset. It means incorporating design as a creative strategy throughout the entire process of developing products or services. This means that design gains systemic importance wherever success or failure depend on the right idea\, the right implementation and the right interaction of processes and products. No matter what the stage of development of a service or a product is at a given moment: design can and will make the decisive difference. Good design\, poor design – this is no longer a question of taste! \nAt the Hollenegger Design Talks 2020\, nine teams of designers and business people will use best-practice examples to illustrate how design contributed to the success of their product; they will showcase the development process and demonstrate how they were able to benefit from design – before\, during and after the crisis. The presentations range from modular office furniture of the future that can be swiftly adapted as needed to the design concept for particularly user-friendly signposting that helps skiing aficionados navigate ski runs by means of colour coding and pictographs. Another talk presents the positive outcome for mountain bikers when Nature’s ingenuity and human creativity join forces. Design is as versatile as the solutions it creates. \n\nFURTHER INFORMATION \nclick here URL:https://designcities.net/events/design-transfer-hollenegger-design-talks-2020/ CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://designcities.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Ohne-Titel.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200910 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20201004 DTSTAMP:20260618T000158 CREATED:20200824T112419Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201006T105727Z UID:7474-1599696000-1601769599@designcities.net SUMMARY:Austrian National Design Prize 2019: Best of Austrian Design DESCRIPTION:The Austrian National Design Prize is announced every two years by the Federal Ministry of Education\, Science and Research and carried out by designaustria. \nA jury of experts have selected 27 innovative and future-oriented projects from 279 entries in four categories.

The festival events will again spread throughout the city: from museums to markets\, from seminar halls to secret shops\, from studios to showrooms and from offline to online events and encounters. \nHelsinki Design Week is a series of responsibly organized events of varying sizes. It is not a festival at one single venue holding thousands of visitors. With regards to possible restrictions on venues or visitors due to the international health crisis\, the festival has the means and opportunity to multiply into smaller events or use new digital methods of exhibiting content. \nHelsinki Design Week’s statement for 2020 is Commitment Matters – a theme that raises questions regarding the meaning and value of designing. The phrase is a stimulus for thought\, and the theme is meant to be used as a tool for everyone taking part in the festival: the event organizers\, the exhibitors\, the seminar speakers and the visitors. As main partner of the festival the City of Helsinki is supporting the safe and responsible organization of the festival. \nThe festival visuals celebrate the legendary Helsinki Olympic Stadium\, combining its functionalistic architecture with vivid and energetic colours from the athletic world. Historic photos from the 1940s will highlight the design and history of the restored monument. \nThe main venue: the Olympic Stadium\nThe main venue of Helsinki Design Week will be the Olympic Stadium. With its large and airy spaces\, it is a perfect spot for safe encounters. The stadium is open on 11–13 September for guided tours and for Children’s Design Weekend. \nThe Stadium is also home to the main exhibition\, a series of installations on design\, architecture and fashion\, presenting interesting design from unique pieces to large scale set ups. A review of top young designers is not to be missed. \nThe Olympic Stadium will also host an event that may well become the biggest PechaKucha Night ever held. The evening of September 12 is reserved for 10 presentations\, each less than 7 minutes long. The idea of PechaKucha\, Japanese for “chit chat”\, is simple: 20 slides and 20 seconds of commentary on a theme chosen by the presentator. The guest speakers will be published in early August. \nDesign sale and guided tours\nThe most popular autumn design sale\, the Design Market\, will open Helsinki Design Week on 3–5 September 2020. The event will be held online through a site listing vendors and offers in webshops and city boutiques. The Design Market offers sample sales and good bargains from notable brands. All of the vendors are committed to environmentally sound design and products. \nOpen door events on 9-10 September offer guided tours to meet local designers. Open Studios is an event open to all. It takes us to meet local architects\, graphic designers and creative minds at their own studios. Open Showrooms is meant for professional audiences and members of the media. Guided tours offer visits to the world of production\, manufacture and import. \nMinigalleries on screens\nFor two weeks\, Helsinki Design Week will take over more than 20 advertising screens in downtown Helsinki. The Open Screens campaign allows new encounters between design and Helsinkians. \nThe full programme of Helsinki Design Week and Children’s Design Week will be released in early August 2020. \nThe main partner of the event is the City of Helsinki. The event is supported by the Ministry of Education and Culture. \nHelsinki Design Week\, 3 – 13 September\, 2020.  \nHelsinki Design Week has been organized annually every September since 2005. With a festival programme of around 250 events every year\, it is the largest design festival in the Nordic countries.
