About this event
What’s Around Design? is dedicated to exploring Design´s profound impact and potential in addressing today´s multifaceted challengesWhat’s Around Design?” is a pivotal gathering of minds in the Algarve dedicated to exploring Design´s profound impact and potential in addressing today´s multifaceted challenges. With extreme climate changes, mass migrations, housing shortages, waste, pollution, and deforestation, there is a pressing need to promote a rethinking of traditional design paradigms, aiming for strategies to mitigate these problems and promote a more sustainable and equitable future. Approaches like nature-based solutions, circular economy, nature-inspired design, speculative design, and green transition allow designers to anticipate and prepare for various scenarios, creating proactive, adaptable solutions that harmonize with the environment. Experts and thought leaders will share insights and inspire discussions, workshops, and exhibitions, all highlighting the pivotal role of Design in addressing global challenges and shaping a better world.
