Tomorrow is nearly upon us for a great line up at the Beirut Design Week Conference. Register now at presella/event/BDW13conference/ or register when you arrive tomorrow at 9:30am at the Irwin Hall at LAU. Coffee, tibits and lunch available for all! :) The Beirut Design Week 2013 Conference brings together designers and architects from the UK, Denmark, USA, France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Lebanon to come together and discuss Design in all its broadness. From product designers who have redefined aesthetic value such as Michael Anasstasiades, to fashion designers creating garments from food and organic material like Suzanne Lee, and even food designers recreating what we eat -Magali Wehrung- ; the spectrum of design seems to grow ever further with each innovation. 3D printing, another innovative growing technology has been spearheaded by Guillaume Credoz in the entire MENA region as a design revolution. Already City X from San Francisco, have started training children between 8 to 10 years old with this great technology, helping them to reshape their cities and the fictional characters that inhabit them. Sarah Thelwall and Jason Steel will be discussing Fashion Design as an education and a career path from a local and global perspective, guiding young designers through the journey of this field of design. While Rany Sader, a lawyer who surrounds himself with designers and creatives, will tell us a few secrets on how to protect your intellectual property rights, and give us some startling examples from all around. Architecture and mobile technology are also not far from discourse, as Conrad Bercah’s panel will certainly prove, with the help of Ayssar Arida and Imad Gemmayel. T+HUIS also a design for social impact studio from the Netherlands, have inspired us with their community building projects for years. The understanding of the role of design in civic society as well as community, is in fact a specialty of Ruedi Baur from the Master Program in Geneva. But researching the core dynamics of community which is built on TRUST, has been the month-long project of Jeremy Beaudry and his international Master of Industrial Design students from the Philadelphia University of the Arts. The Brofessional Show will wrap up the day with their ever-promising sense of satirical humour and poignant remarks about Lebanon’s media and design scene by bringing in guests for a chat and perhaps a heated debate!
