workshops, and parallel sessions that examine the following
questions:

conversely, how does design contribute to the future of
production? * What tools and approaches for design have
been developed in the past, and what tools will emerge in
the future with the rise of new technologies? * Who and
what is changing the organization of design practice? How do
these changes open our practice to new forms of
participation and self-production? * What projects and
creative solutions are emerging through new technologies of
production? * What is the relationship between the
