Idea Studio: Tony Fry

Design Futuring, Culture and the Coming Age of Unsettlement

Lecture | Design Futuring, Culture and the Coming Age of Unsettlement
Featuring Design Theorist Tony Fry
Friday, December 5 | 12:30pm
Gerding Theater at the Armory, 128 NW 11th Ave.

Pacific Northwest College of Art welcomes Australian designer and design theorist Tony Fry in two upcoming events centered on the sustainment of arts education and the reinvention of design.

A design consultant and theorist, Fry is also an international leader in sustainable design theory and practice. His lecture, “Design Futuring, Culture and the Coming Age of Unsettlement” will unpack two crucial and linked questions: how can design, as a positive force for change, be made to happen? And, how can design become a re-directive practice rather than an agent of de-futuring?

As a consultant, Fry has worked in many areas of design, sustainability and futures for the corporate sector, professional organizations and government, including: BHP, the Institution of Engineers Australia, the former Australian Federal EPA, New South Wales State EPA, New South Wales Departments of Urban Affairs, Planning, Housing and State Development, The Learning Federation and the South East Queensland Western Catchment Group.

Ticket info: Free and open to the public.
