4. Design2050
Design is constantly carrying us towards the future. As we surf the web from sleek mobile phone handsets or tap away at a computer while we’re out enjoying coffee, we forget how recent these innovations were. The simple truth is that good design integrates seamlessly with its surroundings.
What will be the next innovation to quietly revolutionise our lives? At the Singapore Design Festival 2009, that’s exactly the question we’re asking. If so much has changed recently, surely the possibilities for the future must be more varied, wide ranging and eclectic.
Join us and discover how design can improve our quality of life, change business paradigms or contribute to sustainable cities of tomorrow. The only limit to what we can explore is our mind.
Imagine buildings you could eat, or an electric scooter that fits in your bag. Innovation doesn’t come from those who say “It can’t be done.” The great leaps in design are made by those who have the courage to ask “Why not?”.
