SUMMARY:Vision Plus Conference in México City
DESCRIPTION:Information Design as a tool for a better city\nInformation Design as a tool for a better city: Since México City has been announced World Design Capital in 2018\, the Vision Plus conference will promote “Information Design as a tool for a better city”. Information design professionals\, students and teachers from around the world will meet in México to take a closer look at the skills\, competences and formats in Information Design needed to contribute to the welfare of citizens and development of cities. \nAccording to Salvatore Iaconesi data is opinion; therefore\, a city with many inhabitants is an immense pool of data and at the same time of various attitudes\, fates and behaviour pattern. Based on data\, what kind of tools and instruments Information Design can offer to make a city understandable\, accessible\, managable and easy to orientate\, use and develop. \nThe traditional well known topics are: \n\nEnvironment\, pollution and climate change\nMobility (accidents\, traffic and wayfinding )\nEmergencies or Disasters – earthquake\, hurricanes and floods)\nTerritorial conflicts\nViolence and Insecurity\n\nas well soft topics as: \n\neconomic and cultural development\naccess to public space\nrigt on privacy\nparticipation in soocial life\n\nThe question is: How can information design contribute to cognition\, participation and understanding for a better future of cities? \nUniversidad Autуnoma Metropolitana\nThe Metropolitan Autonomous University (Spanish: Universidad Autуnoma Metropolitana) also known as UAM\, is a Mexican public university\, founded in1974\, with the support of then-President Luis Echeverria Alvarez. The institution aims to be closely linked to the social and human environment\, conserving at the forefront\, with constant reinvention of research and higher education. \nIIID\nThe International Institute for Information Design (IIID) was founded in 1986 to stimulate the development\, recognition and good practice of information design in its broadest sense. Over the last 30 years IIID has become one of the best-known names for developing the information design discipline worldwide. The institute has now members and friends around the globe who are passionate about creating better information in various areas of application. IIID is recommended by UNESCO as a partner organization on matters of informations design (Resolution 4.9 of the 28th General Conference of UNESCO\, 1995 Paris) \nContact Details\nNora Morales UAM \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nContact Nora per mail in English or Spanish \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMartin Foessleitner IIID \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nContact Martin per mail in English or German \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCall for Contribution\nSee the official website here \nThe Creative Industries Styria in Graz is the official cooperation partner of this conference.

SUMMARY:Great Rivers Forum
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the long history of humanity\, rivers have always been recognized as the “cradles of human civilization”. Meandering through time and place\, the great rivers also witness the evolution of human society. Today\, large cities with growing population develop vibrantly along major rivers such as the Nile River\, the Tigris-Euphrates Rivers\, the Indus River\, the Ganges River\, the Changjiang River\, the Yellow River\, the Rhine River\, the Danube River\, the Volga River\, the Amazon River and the Mississippi River\, etc. As the society progress\, we become more aware of the significance of the great rivers and the need to explore better ways to co-exist with the rivers in the spirit of sustainable development. \nThe Great Rivers Forum is a biannual event that serves as an international platform for dialogues among experts and managers from various disciplines and origins\, anchored in the values promoted by the 2001 UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity. The forum offers a unique opportunity for participants to exchange ideas and share experiences. The engagement in this cooperative efforts of sister cities and UNESCO networks – including World Heritage sites\, Creative Cities and Biosphere Reserves\, and also Ecohydrology demosites – contributes to boosting high-quality development along great rivers\, paying particular attention to their ecological and cultural environment. Moreover\, participants and partners have the opportunity to explore the roles that great river civilizations play in working towards a more sustainable world\, leaving no one behind. \n\nFurther Information\nGreat Rivers Forum official website \nContact Details\nThe Changjiang Civilization Museum\nAdd: 8 East Rd.\, Garden Expo Park\, Wuhan\, 430010\, P.R.China.\nT: +86 27 83696278 \n

SUMMARY:Street Art Meets Public Transport in Kaunas
DESCRIPTION:Do you know what Kaunas and San Francisco have in common? Trolleybuses! Street art\, too. The electric public transport has been circling around our city for more than 60 years now. Recently Kaunas City Municipality signed a deal with a Polish company ‘Solaris Bus& Coach S.A.’ that’ll deliver 85 brand new ‘Solaris Trollino 12’ trolleybuses by autumn of 2019. What does this mean for the vintage Škoda trolleybuses? Time will tell\, but before they’re all taken for a final ride\, the trolleybuses will be used as outdoor street art galleries. \n  \nThe first street art trolleybuses have already hit the streets. Inspired by the iconic murals of Kaunas\, The Pink Elephant\, The Old Wise Man\, Kaunas 2022 and Modernist Architecture the illustrations were done by Eglė Zubkovienė\, Tadas Bujanauskas and Morfai\, one of the best-known street artists in Kaunas. A new mobile piece of street art should be presented every few weeks. More artists will be invited to collaborate in the entirely kaunastic project. \n  \nMODERNISM TROLLEYBUS\, Photo: Kaunas City Municipality\, 2018 \nFurther Information\nFor Street Art Meets Public Transport in Kaunas see here \nFor any further questions get in contact with Andrijana Filinaité\, Kaunas City Municipal Administration\, Chief specialist of Cultural Heritage Division\, via email \n  \n  \nTrolleybus dedicated to KAUNAS2022\, Photo: Kaunas City Municipality\, 2018

SUMMARY:Biennale Interieur 2018
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Biennale Interieur and its 26th edition. The first edition in 1968 was entirely rooted in the reigning ideas of that time: challenging tradition\, looking for innovation and taking a stand. Founded in 1967\, the aim of the biennale was to put contemporary design and interior innovations on the map. This would also be shown to the general public and not only to professionals\, as was the custom at other major fairs at the time. Design in the context of interior living was new at a time when ‘design’ was still perceived cold\, elitist and at odds with the idea of ‘comfortable living’. The inception of Biennale Interieur in 1968 could be linked to the motives and ideals behind the student and worker uprisings in the late sixties in France\, Europe and later in the US. The founding members of the Biennale Interieur dreamed of creating a place where the prevailing ideas about what a furniture fair should be were not valid. Whereas other fairs brought a mix of old\, new\, kitsch and design\, the Biennale Interieur resolutely opted for a contemporary and creative form of interior design. The first edition in 1968 was an instant and unexpected success. This alternative approach was continued throughout different levels. In addition to the furniture expo in the Kortrijk Xpo exhibition halls\, a lot of effort was put into the development of a cultural city program and numerous satellite events. Graphic designer Boudewijn Delaere was asked to design the logo. That same simple but striking logo is still used today. Each edition also invited its own a guest of honour. The list of these international names reads like a who’s who in contemporary design: the Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti\, the French architect Jean Prouvé\, the German industrial designer Dieter Rams and the Spanish designer Jaime Hayon are just a few names who adorn the honours list. \nNow\, fifty years later\, the then new idea of combining design with cultural and commercial elements has proven to be a success formula. The ideas from that time have ensured that the Biennale has grown into a standing appointment in the annual design calendar. The 26th edition of the Biennale Interieur brings with it some drastic changes. While up to the previous edition the exhibition lasted for ten days\, the event will run for a more compact five days\, taking a strong substantive approach. Between 18 and 22 October 2018\, INTERIEUR 2018 will again be the place to be in terms of innovation and creativity. The Biennale Interieur is also increasingly aimed at a professional audience. In addition to a strong cultural program including lectures\, exhibitions\, presentations and meeting moments\, a lot of attention is paid to business and entrepreneurship. Interaction and exchange between participants\, trade and professional customers are central for five days. An architecture programme gives national and international architects the opportunity to enjoy a company visit to one of the participating companies in addition to the program in the Xpo. In addition\, the city festival continues to promote the original ideals of the Biennale Interieur. This year\, an empty hospital in the center of the city will be taken over by a young generation of designers\, cultural partners and internationally leading designers. \nFurther information\nBiennale Interieur\nGroeningestraat 37\n8500 Kortrijk\, Belgium\nT: +32 (0)56 22 95 22\ninterieur@interieur.be \nRead on here \nPhoto Gallery\n  \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Biennale Interieur 2018 \n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Biennale Interieur 2016\, Photo: Frederik Vercruysse

Many of the initiatives in the program are defined as “pathways”: “These are visits to museums\, archives\, libraries or tours of the territory\, in groups and accompanied by guides who will help participants grasp the essential aspects of an exhibition\, discover new ones\, experience them from different perspectives”\, Francesca Leon\, Municipal Councillor for Culture\, explains. “Some of these\, although designed for people with disabilities\, can be attended by anyone. In the European year dedicated to heritage we have chosen to work on the theme of universal accessibility related to structures\, services and cultural activities in the hope of stimulating cultural institutions to open up to new audiences”. \nSharing thoughts\, skills and experiences is the best way to overcome barriers that hinder cultural participation. It is with these intentions that the Municipal Administration has committed itself to involving institutions\, associations\, museums\, theatres\, libraries\, public and private cultural institutions. \nDesign of the City\nThroughout the month dedicated to heritage\, the city will host\, in different locations\, from the 12th to the 21st of October\, the second edition of “TORINO DESIGN OF THE CITY 2018”\, with about 60 appointments all revolving around heritage and universal accessibility related to structures\, services and cultural activities\, i.e. the ability of institutions to open up to new audiences and work on their relationship with their tangible and intangible cultural heritage. \nAn international event whose success last year has been an impulse to continue working to redesign Turin starting from the needs of people\, planning services that are the result of shared processes\, designed together with citizens and communities of the territory and enhancing diversity as an element of innovation. \nINTERNATIONAL FORUM ON ACCESSIBILITY\nThere will be moments of reflection\, dialogue and discussion with experts\, institutions\, associations and networks in various places of the city that will culminate in the INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON ACCESSIBILITY hosted in the Aula Magna of the University of Turin on October 16th and 17th. A two day event – with representatives from the cities of Copenhagen\, Montreal\, Graz\, Barcelona\, Bologna\, Carrara\, Fabriano\, Milan\, Parma\, Pesaro\, Rome and Alba – to pose the question on what the terms accessibility and inclusion mean in a metropolitan city\, which obstacles have been overcome and which still represent barriers to be eliminated. \nWe will listen to examples of good practices carried out by other cities\, we will take a look at the state of the art our city and\, with the help of experts and the participation of those interested in the topic\, the meeting will try to outline a roadmap and policies to be implemented so that culture – whether material or immaterial – and cultural heritage may become a common good\, open and enjoyable by all. \nIt will be the first public step along a road that leads to a deeper and more detailed attention to the issues of accessibility in its various articulations: economic\, cultural and social\, sensory\, cognitive\, physical and perceptive. If accessibility becomes a meaningful condition also for heritage\, identifying the obstacles that hinder its everyday and conscious fruition becomes a priority for us all. \n“The Forum on Accessibility represents a formidable opportunity for discussion\, a moment in which Turin opens its doors to innovation with a wide-ranging reflection on the future we want\, because culture is creativity without boundaries or barriers\,” says Francesca Leon. “In fact\, participation will be key to accessing the heritage of ideas”. \n  \nFurther Information\nImportant Dates\nDesign of the City: October 12–21\, 2018\nInternational Forum of Accessibility: October 16–17\, 2018 \nProgram\nDownload the international forum program here. \nPress Contact\nLuisa Cicero\nUfficio Stampa Giunta Comunale\npiazza Palazzo di Città 1\n10122 Torino\ntel. +39 011/011.21932\nmobile +39 346/23.56.935\nluisa.cicero@comune.torino.it\nwww.torinoclick.it \nEliana Bert\nUfficio Stampa Giunta Comunale\npiazza Palazzo di Città 1\n10122 Torino\ntel. +39 011/011.23677\nmobile +39 349/41.62.659\neliana.bert@comune.torino.it\nwww.torinoclick.it

SUMMARY:European Creative Industries Summit
DESCRIPTION:The 8th European Creative Industries Summit (ECIS 2018) will be held in Vienna on October 4\, 2018. BEYOND is the topic of the 8th European Creative Industries Summit 2018: Cross-Innovation as driver for Growth in the European Digital Single Market. \nInnovation is at the heart of the New European Agenda 2018-2021 and European Creative Industries Summit 2018 welcomes leading policy makers with Margarete Schramböck\, Federal Minister for Digital and Economic Affairs\, Austria\, Tibor Navracsics\, EU Commissioner for Education\, Culture\, Youth and Sport and Christian Ehler\, MEP\, Co-Chair of Intergroup Cultural Creative Industries to focus the innovation potentials and policies for one of the largest and most successful industries in Europe – the Cultural Creative Industries with 12 million full-time jobs\, which amounts to 7.5 % of the EU’s work force\, and approx. EUR 509 billion in value added to GDP. \nIn 2016 the European Parliament recognized the value added of cultural creative industries in its report “on a coherent EU policy for cultural and creative industries”. Many projects and programs across Europe and in Horizon 2020 started to finance cross-innovation projects related to the creative industries. These first successes however also show that a piece-meal approach to creative industries is not sufficient to create societal and industrial relevant impact for the future of Europe. It is high time – for the best of Europe – to move from piloting projects to mainstreaming the benefits of creative industries as driver for cross-innovation for the economic and social benefit of Europe. \nIn January 2018 the European Innovation Council points out to „avoid a “one size fits all” and target market failures and EU added value with a focus on transformative\, breakthrough science leading to market-creating innovations and scaling-up highly innovative firms. These often take shape at the intersection between different technologies\, business sectors and scientific disciplines.“ \nNow BEYOND aims to do the next step to support cross-innovation policies and funding for the cultural creative industries in the next funding period. The conference focuses on growth areas of cross-innovation where creative industries will have an industrial impact and drives growth and well-being for the whole of Europe. Especially at the interface of creative industries and digital technologies\, both break-through and incremental innovations can effectively be supported. The range of possible applications is manyfold\, for instance in health\, mobility\, green economy and smart cities. \nExperts\nBEYOND welcomes experienced experts and decision makers for the creative industries such as Prof. Dieter Gorny\, Director european centre for creative industries\, Prof. Pier Luigi Sacco\, Special Adviser to the EU-Commission on Culture Heritage\, Ugo Bacchella\, President of Fitzcarraldo Fondazione\, Bart Ahsmann\, Director of the Dutch innovation agency\, CLICK.NL\, Eberhard Schrempf\, Director of CIS and Caroline Norbury MBE\, CEO of Creative England\, the largest public creative industries agency in Europe. \nBEYOND is not just another conference\, but part of the program of the Austrian EU-Presidency in collaboration with and with sponsoring by Kreativwirtschaft Austria (KAT) and the European Centre for Creative Economy (ecce). Its result will be documented and proposed to the European Council and European Commission to set up cross-innovation support policies for the cultural creative industries within Horizon Europe. \nRegistration\nRegistration for the conference will start in June. The full program will be published on ECBN webpage and regularly updated.\nECIS 2018 is organized by ECBN and supported by Kreativwirtschaft Austria (KAT)\, the European Centre for Creative Economy (ecce)\, and the Austrian Presidency of the EU 2018.

SUMMARY:Istanbul Design Biennial
DESCRIPTION:4th ISTANBUL DESIGN BIENNIAL – A SCHOOL OF SCHOOLS\n  \nIstanbul Design Biennial is organised by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (IKSV). Taking place since 2012\, Istanbul Design Biennial aims to bring together a diverse cross section of design ideas once every two years\, exploring a wide range of fields concerning design. Seeding ideas and fostering dialogue and intersections within the creative and academic community\, the biennial operates on a network of national and international collaborations with cultural agents\, institutions\, universities and companies. Using the city as a dynamic space for projects\, actions and interventions\, the biennial tackles global design problems\, brings the notion of design into scrutiny\, stimulates critical debate\, foregrounds underexplored or overlooked aspects of society and prompts further investigation into and exchange about emerging conditions of the world. In addition to its biennial exhibition and various activities\, Istanbul Design Biennial seeks to ensure a long\, deep and interdisciplinary conversation that will help rethink the question of design by multiplying the number of voices and assembling an inspirational design archive. Committed to design as a tool for understanding its complex role in today’s society\, the biennial as a progressive discussion platform is in permanent transformation. \nTheme\nAs a space for critical reflection on design established in a historically rich context\, the Istanbul Design Biennial offers the opportunity to question the very production and replication of design and its education. In 2018\, the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial builds on the legacy of previous editions\, in order to reinvent itself and become a productive process-orientated platform for education and design to research\, experiment and learn in and from the city and beyond. \nTitled A School of Schools\, the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial will stretch both the space and time of the traditional design event\, manifesting as a flexible year-long programme within which to respond to global acceleration\, generating alternative methodologies\, outputs and forms of design and education. A School of Schools manifests as a set of dynamic learning formats encouraging creative production\, sustainable collaboration\, and social connection. Exploring eight themes\, the learning environment is a context of empowerment\, reflection\, sharing and engagement\, providing reflexive responses to specific situations. \nVenues\nAKBANK ART | Istiklal St. No:8 34435 Beyoglu-Istanbul \nARTER | Istiklal St. No:211 34433 Beyoglu-Istanbul \nPERA MUSEUM | Meşrutiyet St. No:65 34430 Tepebasi-Beyoglu-Istanbul \nSALT GALATA | Bankalar St. 11 Karaköy 34420 Istanbul \nSTUDIO-X ISTANBUL | Meclis-i Mebusan St.35A 34427 Istanbul \nYAPI KREDI CULTURE ART | Istiklal St. No: 161 34433\, Beyoglu / Istanbul \nExperts\nDirector | Deniz Ova \nLocation

SUMMARY:Habitare 2018 
DESCRIPTION:Habitare\, Finland’s largest interior decoration and design event\, will be held from 12 to 16 September 2018. Habitare 2017 was a huge success and attracted 56\,000 visitors and more than 400 companies. The Habitare 2018 theme of ROOTS will bring out and highlight the authenticity and personality of things. \n“In design\, authenticity and truthfulness mean that things can also be rough\, unfinished\, odd\, and random. Creativity triumphs over obeying the rules.”\n  \nIn a globalising world\, we have a growing appreciation for our own ROOTS and an interest in the origins of things and in other cultures. The Habitare exhibition design\, conceived around the theme\, will be by Mattila & Merz. The theme manifests itself in the exhibitor stands and the programme at Habitare\, to be held in September 2018. \nMulticulturalism is about communicating between different cultures\, but also about understanding that our own roots extend beyond national boundaries. When viewed from a global perspective\, we are\, in the end\, similar\, wherever our ROOTS are. \n“In design\, authenticity and truthfulness mean that things can also be rough\, unfinished\, odd\, and random. Creativity triumphs over obeying the rules\, and this is something that we encourage each Habitare participant to embrace”\, say the designers of the theme\, the trend expert Antti Rimminen from Urban View\, and the culture and fashion editor Mia Dillemuth. \nEstablishing values and acting in accordance with these values is emphasised in today’s increasingly unpredictable world. We are increasingly aware of the ethical implications of our purchasing decisions\, and we value authenticity and transparency. Companies increasingly seek to differentiate themselves from the competition through personal and human branding and values. \nInstead of stereotypes\, people seek more diverse ways of portraying themselves. Identity is no longer a permanent\, unchanging concept\, but a person or a company can incorporate several different facets. \nFurther Information\nRead more about Habitate here. \nSee a summary of 2017 here: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou are currently viewing a placeholder content from YouTube.

SUMMARY:Helsinki Design Week 2018
DESCRIPTION:Helsinki Design Week is a multidisciplinary design festival that presents design from a number of fields as well as fashion\, architecture and urban culture. Held annually in September\, the festival programme contains around 250 events every year\, and boasted about 158\,000 visitors in 2016. Helsinki Design Week chairs World Design Weeks from 2017 to 2020. \nOne of the objectives of design is to question existing methods and to find new solutions. This creates order and usability\, not to mention good esthetics\, in our chaotic world. It’s not always easy to find new solutions. In addition to strong professional skills\, it takes vision and self-confidence. \nHelsinki Design Week is a cooperation platform for the design field and its audience. This platform is open and based on trust. We develop through interactive internationalization\, that is\, by working together as a network and trusting each other. It requires openness\, communication and cooperation skills. People are willing to share their thoughts and ideas only after they have gained trust in each other. \nThis year’s theme is TRUST!\nThe theme in 2018 for Helsinki Design Week is TRUST. The theme is topical because the sharing economy – the transition from individual ownership to collaborative consumption – is based on trust between humans. The transition of work\, increasing ways of telecommuting\, versatile networking and the digital service society are all built on mutual trust. \n  \n\n\n  \nHow has the design industry reacted to the change? How can we use design to enhance trust and transparency? What actions are needed to build trust? What new products\, services or events will be generated if designers bravely combine their forces? What does trust mean for design processes?  \n\nAt Helsinki Design Week\, we trust in design’s ability to solve complex problems. We will showcase them next September throughout Helsinki in collaboration with designers and companies. If you want to participate\, and you want to have a (confidential) discussion with us\, please do contact Ms Moona Tikka\, Executive Producer (moona.tikka(at)helsinkidesignweek.com). \nThe largest design festival in the Nordics will be organized from 6 to 16 September 2018. An open call for the event will be launched in late winter 2018\, and the programme will be published in the summer of 2018. \n\nFor further information click here.

SUMMARY:Seoul Upcycling Plaza opens
DESCRIPTION:The Seoul Design Foundation(SDF) has been working on the biggest up-cycling hub in Korea\, the Seoul Upcycling Plaza(SUP). \nThe grand opening of SUP will be on September 5. \nThe spaces in SUP will be used in diverse ways including design shops\, exhibition hall\, co-working space\, lecture rooms\, studios and material bank. The resource recycling rate in Seoul is 66%\, that is the highest level in the world\, but it is simply “recycling.” \nDue to the increase of consumption\, people easily buy and dispose of things. However\, Seoul city felt the need of citizen’s consciousness about up-cycling to increase the resource value (high-value recycling)\, Upcycling is a new way of circulating the resources and protecting the environment by considering its value after it has lost its original use. Upcycling helps us to care about the environment and nature and also to think more when making things at first. \nThe SUP will increase awareness of the resource circulation through various programs such as citizen participating events\, up-cycling experience tour\, upcycling cultural festival and by doing that\, citizens and tourists can see\, experience and learn all about up-cycling. \n  \nⓒ Seoul Design Foundation \n\nFurther Information\nVisit the official website here www.seouldesign.or.kr \n
