| Design Laboratory Design Laboratory is an ongoing series of workshops and forums we have developed to bring design research, education and practice together with industry. Once we identify a compelling theme that needs to be ‘unpacked’ we ask leading thinkers to join Design Laboratory to examine opportunities where design, research and industry can better collaborate in ecologically, socially and commercially beneficial ways. The inaugural Design Laboratory was held during the State of Design Festival in 2009. Exploring the 'the 2040 City' workshops focused on the future of the city of Melbourne. We divided the city into a set of interconnected ‘systems’, which covered mobility, water, energy, built environment, and the community. Built Systems 2040 was presented by RMIT University, Human Systems 2040 by Swinburne Design, Mobility Systems by Crowd Productions. The City of Melbourne presented '2040 City' as a Melbourne Conversation public forum during the festival. A follow up event sponsored by Melbourne Water explored the future of water in the city. This workshop led to a major exhibition ‘The Livable City’ at the 2010 State of Design. www.designlaboratory.com.au |
