• Discussion of the theme. Creating material for publishing - working collaboratively on the theme analysis with sketches, mind maps and other ideation tools. Thinking critically, communicating in writing an innovative and well thought-through individual response.
PROGRAM:
The 3-day workshop is an inspirational theme-based co-lab. It engages several disciplines to present multiple angles of “Biomimicry”. The purpose is to generate new knowledge in relation to the theme and to be equipped to communicate in writing an innovative and well thought-through response. The participants will therefore also learn to write their thoughts, which will be published in the workshop magazine together with sketches, stories and interviews with the speakers and participants.
The workshop programme places emphasis on critical thinking, ability to write one’s thoughts, art research capacity and cooperation of the participants.
The workshop magazine will be available at the Art Quarter Budapest and at Institute of Advanced Design Studies and published online.
APPLICATIONS, FEES AND DEADLINES:
The participants are selected to represent diverse backgrounds to create a rich working/learning environment. Recommended disciplines: arts (also welcomed technology and biology engineering inspired arts, installation art), design, architecture.
