Design & Philosophy – The tension between pragmatism & creativity
Channel: Design & Critical Thinking
Date: 26/08/2022

3rd and final round of this series of discussions.

Themes for exploration:
How can we link back design practice and philosophy?
What are the possible pain points of doing so? And what are the benefits of such a marriage?

This session:
We focus on two aspects, first the importance of coming to a form of pragmatism, which one might call "pragmatic design philosophy", and second the (equal) importance of connecting to a form of abstractive and poetic conceptualization, which one might call creativity. The goal of this session is to explore this useful tension that underly many aspects of the design practice.

This event is the third of a series of discussions on design and philosophy, when it is relevant to link them together, how one strengthens the other (and vice-versa), what are their weaknesses, etc.
