Why Designers Should Write
- 1. 1981. Trained as an architect what I mainly do today is building relational processes with communities, online/offline. I work with public sector, companies, spontaneous communities. I founded snark - space making and I’ve been part of many major recent public and cultural processes. Co/auletta, #nevicata14, Ginestra Fabbrica-della-conoscenza among others. I’m also designing learning environments for higher educational institutions like www.whoami.it, Politecnico di Milano and others. www.facebook.com/mlampu instagram: @mlampu tiwitter: @mlampu mail: mlampu@gmail.com Among my interests is the relationship between design and entrepreneurship which I investigates both desk and hands on as a startupper with cyrcolo (P2P cycling community) and as mentor. Google me! WHOAMI?
- 3. Why designers should write?
- 4. Language is a universal code, we are not able to exist out of it. However most proper language for design is considered the visual one.
- 5. Now we go beyond disciplines, so visual language becomes less efficient as it’s less readable for the third parties.
- 6. We have made things and suddenly just felt a need to explore the written implication of some concepts we understood by doing.
- 7. We developed and want to discuss our understanding of what does it mean to be a designer nowadays and number of other topics: • new role of a designer in society; • relationship between design and entrepreneurship; • role of craftsmanship and artisans in new ventures; • how can these new activities be related; • new ecosystems, market or production chains that they produce; • how can these affect local development policies; • inside of this new framework how can be design disciplines and tools fine-tuned in order to better fulfill our goals?
- 8. It wasn’t also about putting me to write. It soon mainly became about having me finishing what I started. Plus we believed just one or two authors would have been not plural enough.
- 9. So we made few experiments with @the_nomad in August by sharing with her some really drafts texts and co-writing. Results have been exciting!
- 10. - is strongly related to twitter - allows co-writing - is based on long-read format - is community of really inspiring people
- 11. @coonsfromspace or Interstellar Raccoons
- 12. Why the need for a collective fictional identity? To be free, from ourselves.
- 13. Here we collect writings about general concepts we are interested in
- 14. Here we explore the opportunity to use @medium as a medium to explain design results (coming soon)
- 15. Here we share our experiences, thoughts tools about learning environments (coming soon)
