What Design Can Do

摘要

Now into its third edition, the "What Design Can Do" conference explores the worldwide impact of design, bringing to central Amsterdam, over the course of two days, an impressive and geographically diverse array of speakers-artists, designers, architects, urban planners, educators and researchers-from a wide range of fields. Its multidisciplinary character and experimental programme—with workshops, breakout sessions, lectures, live catalogue construction and multiple events around the city throughout the duration of the event-alongside a self-described "activist" dimension, turn it into one of the northern hemisphere's most interesting design events. Speakers in the 2013 edition include Mexican artist Pedro Reyes, head of design at Twitter Mike Kruzeniski, Indian designer Kiran Sethi, and Wired Italia editor-in-chief Carlo Antonelli.
