On SWPS University's Design Zone Spotify, you can find all past talks by designers and specialists in the broader field of design. Today we invite you to listen to the webinar titled "Design: how it is changing and what challenges it faces".
What is design? Certainly, it's not just about providing pretty pictures, useful objects or comfortable cars. It is also the responsibility of designers for the consequences of the solutions they have created. Not everything in design is going in the right direction. What design used to be, and what must it be today? What is the current state of design schools? What design (civilization) challenges do designers face today? These questions will be answered by Dr. Mariusz Wszołek and Dr. Krzysztof Moszczynski from the Department of Graphic Design at SWPS University in Wroclaw. To the conversation this way.
