Material Trajectories. Designing with Care

Annual Conference of the German Society for Design Theory and Research in Berlin on 6–8 May 2021

Design is deeply engaged with materials. Yet the attempt to make sense of the properties, composition and behavior of matter, artifacts and built infrastructures is accompanied by a pressing question: »Who is in fact designing?«. The 17th Annual Conference 2021 of the DGTF (German Society for Design Theory and Research), which takes place from May 6th to 8th in cooperation with »Matters of Activity« and the weißensee school of art and design berlin intends to make this and other questions graspable and to discuss the contribution of design through four interlaced strands: Sympoiesis of Making, Performative Surfaces, Living Matter, Designing Resilience. The conference will most likely be held in virtual form.

DGTF Conference Committee:
Prof. Matthias Held (Schwäbisch-Gmünd),
Prof. Kora Kimpel (Berlin),
Prof. Dr. Claudia Mareis (Basel/Berlin),
Prof. Christiane Sauer (Berlin).

Support Organisation and Concept:
Léa Perraudin
Felix Gerloff
Philipp Bräuner
