By Design or by Disaster Conference

In this conference we explore and discuss what the intersections and interactions are between design and commons. What role can and does design play in driving the idea of commons into the future? In what way are designers needed in growing commons? But what can commons also do for designers? How can such alternate ways of interacting and thinking alter and transform the design field?

Topics of exploration

Commoning, creative design responses, collaboration, co-creation, fair business models, alternative economies, co-creation for social benefit, social design, eco-social innovation, community-centred innovation, sharing economies, fair design strategies
