In this session Chiara Lino & Giulia Bazoli will explore together why and how we, as designers, can challange and investigate our most established tools and methods across research and design. What are some problematic aspects of the way we currently frame people’s needs, behaviours, and identities in our practice? How can we, mindfully yet relentlessly, continue pushing forward the design discipline to participate in deeper societal change? The session is structured as an interactive dialogue rather than a lecture, encouraging a critical, inquisitive and participative approach.
