Shaping Shared Spaces: Design Redefined
May 2, 2024
About
Design Redefined is a series of events seeking to challenge our perception of design as a process of enhancing aesthetics, usability, or marketability and moving towards a deeper understanding of it as a powerful tool for change.
Appropriate for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, as well as design professionals, each session will feature a panel discussion featuring thought leaders, followed by a hands-on exploration of key design principles, light refreshments, and networking. This series is a collaboration with the MIT Museum and Innovators for Purpose.
Free with Museum admission (note: the museum will waive admission for all visitors beginning at 3pm on the session dates)
Seating is limited.
Shaping Shared Spaces
In this session, we’ll delve into the heart of designing shared spaces while exploring the unique dynamics at play when infusing vibrancy and community spirit into public spaces. Learn how design can unite communities and create spaces where everyone feels they belong, including teens who are often overlooked. Join us in a conversation that aims not just to question but to act.
This program is presented as part of Boston Design Week.
