Last Friday saw the conclusion of ‘Design is Dead, Long Live Design‘ – the joint project based around creating discussion and debate. It was a lively day in the wonderful surroundings of the Great Hall, the topics were broad and the debates passionate and well considered.

Through a process of proposition, opposition and vote casting this house found:

That design should not be made for an art gallery market, it is not context driven and it should not serve Industry. We also found that design should be playful and a problem solving activity whilst not being a survival instinct. We decided that design should be for the future and should aid social mobility whilst not being activism. Finally we worked out that design is blue collar and is ultimately pollution.
