Tales of the City: Design in Service of Cultural Mediation
A new semester means a new series of Global Issues in Design & Visuality lectures. This lectures series is part of the Parsons School of Design curriculum for new media students. Each week a different pressing global issues is addressed. The lectures are designed to span all facets of design (industrial, graphic, fashion, etc) and are a great way to keep the brain matter lit up now that you've graduated. Tonight's lecture, Tales of the City: Design in Service of Cultural Mediation, Brings Fred Dust of IDEO to the microphone. "IDEO, the largest design and engineering firm in the world, renowned for its multi-disciplinary design practice, has expanded the consulting service model to the realm of social organization. Dust will present case studies of IDEO’s work with clients ranging from Native American tribes to the Finnish government." IDEO also designed the first Apple mouse for the LISA computer.
