Think-lab Mini Conference

What Design Means to All of Us in Times of Economic Crisis & Global Warming.

Think-lab acknowledges that the current global economic & environmental state of our time is in dire need of fresh new ideas for solutions. Social and political sectors could use a lot of fresh solutions, as the focus of think-lab’s first forum would be these two major global crisis.

The event titled, ‘WHAT DESIGN MEANS TO US IN TIMES OF ECONOMIC CRISIS & GLOBAL WARMING’ is one of our many conference series which opens up local design context globally. The aim of this mini conference is to create awareness and educate young future creative agents and professionals to be aware of the current global situation. This is very much aligned with our organization’s commitment as the ‘world’s leading design platform’.

Think-lab’s concern is the contribution of the global DESIGN industry as a paradigm for solutions linear to current issues. Think-lab is hosting its first series of many Mini Conferences with the itch to question the function and relation of recent design creations/efforts to being part of the solution.

Think-lab was founded in 2007 as a local culture, design & built environment critic blog. Now expending to be in the society to educate public about design.
