Product Design as Experimentation: Creating with New Technologies

IE University - School of Architecture & Design

IE School of Architecture and Design and Finsa, a leading company in the manufacturing of wood-based panels, would like to invite you to Product Design as Experimentation: Creating with New Technologies, a lecture by Swiss designer Christophe Guberan.
 
Join us for an exploration of what new contexts are possible when designers reclaim craft by creating their own production technologies. Not content waiting for manufacturing tools and companies to meet his ideas, Guberan is part of a new generation of creatives who use rapid prototyping and digital manufacturing to control every part of the production process.
 
Guberan will offer insights into what it means for designers to drive every aspect of production in a completely integrated and controlled way, what conditions are essential for building effective experimental partnerships and collaborations, and how digital fabrication can give designers control over what ultimately matters: making essential products that people use and value over time.
 
Christophe Guberan's lecture will be followed by a Q&A session with our guests and a networking cocktail.
We look forward to having you join us!

IE School of Architecture &amp; Design is one of the five Schools within IE University. All our educational programs pursue a connection between academics and the real world. Innovative learning methods, the latest technologies and learning across disciplines are keys to relevant and meaningful education. IE School of Architecture and Design redefines design education based on pedagogical and technological innovation, project-based learning and environmental responsibility. In an international and entrepreneurial environment (65% of our students are coming from abroad, representing more than 100 nationalities on campus and more than 50% of the student body of the School of Architecture and Design are women), IE School of Architecture and Design seeks to expand the field of architecture and design and connect architecture and design with the broader society.
