Ravensbourne Late #2
Allan Chochinov, Core 77

Almost: From presumptions of design to products of design
Wednesday 20 April, 19:00-20:30

For Ravensbourne Late #2, Allan will be speaking about the role of the designer, education and design paradoxes. He will also be discussing Autism Connects, a competition run in partnership between Core 77 and Autism Speaks encouraging design students to produce innovative technology solutions for people with autism.

From myriad near-misses in intent, execution, and promised value, to an examination of the new imperatives of the outputs of design, this talk will offer an alternative in how we view the practice and the pedagogy of design and artefacts.
