PLURALITY IN PRACTICE

Design Seminar Showcase 2020

CMU DESIGN WEEK


PLURALITY IN PRACTICE is the culmination of the Seminar Theory & Practice course taught by Dan Lockton and Marysol Ortega Pallanez at Carnegie Mellon's School of Design.

During the virtual event, you’ll engage in a set of activities, experiences, and conversations that reflect PhD and MDes insights into the relationship between design, pluriversal ways of understanding and living in the world, and practices that continually push the boundaries of the discipline.

PODCAST 🡒 STARTS AT 9:20AM

What is(n't) Design?

with Adam, Alexander, Anuprita, Russell and Sanchez

There is often a mismatch between what people think designers do and what they actually do. Through a series of conversations with non-designers, we explore the perceptions of the world about design in an effort to identify missing pieces in our design thinking processes and how we might use these perceptions to augment participatory design approaches.
