A poetical reflection by Johanna Dobrusskin on our Eco-Social Design program. "...and I wish all the new students find many interactions with interesting people and stakeholders, including non-human beings like plants, animals, trees and forests. And just discover the world in a new way"🌿 💬If you have any questions about the study process at MAD, don't hesitate to reach out to us! #EcoSocialDesign #MADProgram #StudentReflections #SustainableDesign #AskUs #StudyAtMAD #DesignForTheFuture #EcoFriendly #StudentLife #GreenDesign

🌳 How far are you from a public garden? Today, take a moment to visit a public garden, where this season, nature's splendor unfurls in vibrant displays of color and fragrance. These green sanctuaries offer moments of serenity amidst urban chaos, inviting contemplation and renewal. 🏞 From May 3rd to the 12th, it’s National Public Gardens Week in the US. To celebrate, we are showcasing #FallenFruit, an #arts collaboration exploring interstitial urban spaces, bodies of knowledge, and new forms of citizenship. 🍎 Their thought-provoking #artwork “FallenFruit: Elysian Park 2005,” is a collaged photograph on giclee print that underscores the importance of public education and environmental activism. In their words, “Public education is the key to changing the future. Global and local environmental issues are not taught in school curricula nationwide.” 🚶♀️So venture out... What do you see? Hear? Smell? What’s lacking? What requires change? What merits preservation? Then, remember to share your creative perspectives with us! art4development.net #tbt 🌎 #ecoart #ecoartist #art #urbanart #art4development #publicartwork #nationalparks #publicgardens #publiceducation #environmentalstewardship #environmentalsustainability #naturesbeauty #sdg11

Very happy to share that I was selected to the Designers in Residency at Center Rog Creative Hub (with the theme "What can we learn from our ancestors?") with the project "Community Plate - How can food and design help us to live more harmoniously?" “Community Plate” is a food and design project that’s materialized in a communal ceramic sprouting plate and a hands-on community lunch. The sprouting plate is composed of a big diversity of pieces, like a puzzle – representing togetherness and the major relevance of diversity, of the ecosystems, including diversity of cultures and people. The project aims to explore how food and design can contribute to a more calm and harmonious life with other humans, other species and the planet. Metaphorically the project represents ancestral practices of being where the collective is more important than the individual. Sprouting seeds, besides being a powerful, ancestral highly nutrition dense food, that can be key in food crises situations, also stand for new beginnings and hope in the future, by living in the present through acts of empathy for future generations to come — as Roman Krznaric book title says — by being a ‘Good Ancestor’.

🔬 At the Gaudí Institute of Design and Innovation (#GIDI), we're driven by a mission to inspire and educate the next generation of creators. By applying Gaudí's timeless principles to contemporary challenges in design and innovation, we push the boundaries of possibility. We advance research inspired by his work, integrating his principles with modern technology and sustainability practices, merging traditional techniques with futuristic visions. We are proud to honor these revolutionary ideas while addressing contemporary challenges. Want to know more? Check out our official site and current projects! #GaudíWorldFoundation 🌍

I am delighted to share some of the key learnings from Boster Group’s time at this year’s #VeniceArtBiennale. As I do at each Art Biennale, I was delighted to moderate a roundtable discussion hosted by Bank of America, enabling leading voices from across the art world to connect, share insights and explore collaborative solutions. Our key takeaways – detailed in full in our report - were: - Designing (and re-designing) for purpose: The importance of thoughtfully changing the design of institution’s operations, curation and even physical space to better embrace the unique needs and lived experiences of local communities. - Supporting local needs feeds a global footprint: In such a globalised world, it is critical to focus on partnerships both at the local level - through bespoke, smaller programming - as well as the global level, achieving scale. - Trust enables innovation: The concept of ‘move fast and break things’ - which drives so much innovation in the corporate world - cannot be supported by existing financial structures in the arts. Instead, for partners across the arts, the key to leaning into a new structure for collaboration and problem solving is building trust which will foster longer term partnership, commitments and risk taking. https://lnkd.in/gaSb4kv4

Thanks so much for having me on your podcast, Christina Garidi, to discuss how eudaemonia/eudaimonia can guide design processes and therefore what and how we design. Here, we consider how spaces / places (and the process by which they're designed) can precipitate human flourishing. The takeaways? 🎤 We need to curate #environments for the #people who inhabit them...thinking less about accommodating the everyday transactional interplay of people, tasks, etc. and more about enhancing #experiences throughout short-term day-in-the-life journeys (considering physical, digital, and organizational environments) as well as long-term human-to-nature interconnectedness perspectives for deeper #human (and #planetary) #flourishing. 🎤 It's through intentional, deliberate, #EudaemonicDesign efforts that occupants as well as designers/advisors can realize their #BestSelves, building up more pro-social desires, thereby being better and doing better. That's when true #transformation can occur.
