​

In an era of transformation, humanity is facing extreme weather conditions, climate change, aging issues, and other complex and systemic challenges. How do designers equip themselves by learning new knowledge in context, leveraging the emerging technologies, changing our current education system, and adapting our mindset and skill sets? Design 4 EUEC wants to provide a fresh human-centered perspective with love and comprehensive considerations from social, environmental, and economic ​perspectives to revisit these most difficult social-technological challenges. The virtual program will feature 3 outstanding speakers to be announced.

​

IDSA is the Industrial Design Society of America and was founded in 1965 and now boasts Professional and Student chapters in most major US cities. IDSA is designed to connect and promote designers and design thinking within our community and to share great design with communities beyond our own. We do this through a number of avenues: events, awards, publications, and advocating for the designers it represents. While “ID” in IDSA stands for “Industrial Design'', Sheng-Hung and Jonathon envision a chapter that transcends design discipline boundaries and brings designers for all arenas into dialogue. So, “ID” becomes “Inclusive Design”, with an interest in gathering interests and passionate people designers and thinkers together. It echoes our topic “Design for Extreme User in Extreme Conditions (Design 4 EUEC)”
