Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vettese, S., Anastasiadou, C., & Vones, K. (2017). A study of the relationship between personalised 3D printed 'Souvenirs of Place' and public perception of modern architectural heritage. Design Journal, 20(Supp. 1), S3683-S3695. https://doi.org/10.1080/14606925.2017.1352874

At present, there is a disconnection between academic and public perception of Modern heritage, particularly Brutalist architecture. This research utilises the processes and experiences of making 3D printed ‘souvenirs of place’ to investigate their p...

Potentiality: the ethical foundation of design (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buwert, P. (2017). Potentiality: the ethical foundation of design. Design Journal, 20(sup1), S4459-S4467. https://doi.org/10.1080/14606925.2017.1352942

This paper presents the argument that design is by nature an activity which extends and transforms potentiality and that therefore, because of this, it is always an ethical activity. This foundational ethicality does not guarantee that design will al... Read More about Potentiality: the ethical foundation of design.
