The “MAKING&CREATING” International Convention will be open to all representatives of the nominated companies and any other international operators, professionals and university staff interested in signing up for the event.
Industry is by definition the realm of making, producing and building, where creativity unfolds in the realms of knowledge, imagination and artistic drive. On one hand we have industrial rationality and on the other design, a new kind of culture that appeared on the scene some time ago and has transformed products into an artform.
Nevertheless, the relationship between the two is often transformed and upturned in post-modern society. Today’s cutting-edge technology has given industrial products their own stylistic quality and efficiency, while design is often a key player in industrial production that uses the form of objects to develop their technical-economic quality.
The MAKING&CREATING Exhibition-Convention will investigate both sides of this culture of ours, focusing on its crossovers and progression, while casting a glance into the future when the relationship between industry and design will inevitably take on new balances and perspectives.
There will be two days of debate and interaction led by university staff, business people, designers and journalists, who will set up a unique and prestigious platform of interaction and exchange between industry, culture and design.
