What does design do for us?
Hvad er det, designere gør? Hvordan ser det ud, når man designer noget? Hvilken forskel gør designerens arbejde i hverdagen?

De er overalt omkring os: Designede genstande, processer og produkter. Nogle er nærmest usynlige: objekter, rum, simple hverdagshandlinger, fx at købe togbilletter. Andre larmer med deres dårlige design: ubrugelige maskiner, grimme bygninger, besværet med at købe en flybillet.
Bliv klogere på, hvorfor design er meget tæt forbundet med at være menneske, og hvordan designtænkning kan indgå i problemløsning på mange niveauer. For grævlinger, myrer og fugle laver ingeniørarbejde, men kun mennesker kan designe.
Mød professor Richard Herriott fra Designskolen Kolding, som beskæftiger sig med produktdesign, designhistorie, videnskabsteori, ergonomi, designprocesser samt tilgængeligheds- og velfærdsdesign.
Arrangementet er del af Forskningens Døgn, der er en landsdækkende videnskabsfestival, der skaber mødesteder mellem forskere og borgere.
Tid og sted
Arrangementet starter kl. 16.30 og varer cirka 45 minutter.
Foredraget er gratis, når entreen er betalt, men billetbestilling er nødvendig via dette link. Efter foredraget er der mulighed for at komme med på guidet tur i Arne Jacobsens sommerhus Kubeflex.
OBS: Arrangementet finder sted på engelsk. Spørgsmål kan stilles på dansk.
What does it look like to design something as opposed to not designing it? How does the work of designers make a difference in everyday life?
It’s all around us: The product of designers.
From the almost invisible good things – objects, spaces, things we do every day like buy rail tickets – to the painfully annoying bad things – machines we can’t use, things that look nice but ruin our day, the ugly buildings we see around us and the chore of buying an airline ticket.
This talk explains that design is very closely related to being human, and that design thinking could help solve common problems, even those involving what are often thought of as political ones. Badgers and ants and birds do engineering. Only humans can do design.
Meet Richard Herriott, Associate Professor of Design at Designskolen Kolding, who is versed in matters or production design, design history, science theory, ergonomics, design processes and accessibility and welfare design.
The event is part of the Science Festival, Forskningens Døgn, a nationwide science festival that creates meeting points between researchers and the public.
Time and place
The event starts at 16:30 and lasts approximately 45 minutes.
The lecture is free once the entrance fee is paid, but ticket reservation is required here. After the lecture, there will be an opportunity to join a guided tour of Arne Jacobsen’s summer house, Kubeflex.
The event will be held in English.
