Master Lecture Series - Shaping Futures Through Design: Inside and outside the Oslo School of Architecture and Design
Speaker: Rachel K.B. TROYE
How can we meet the challenges facing today’s society? How can design contribute to positive change and understanding, solve complex problems, and unveil new opportunities? How can design create value for the triple bottom line: People, profit and planet?
Today, design is moving way beyond its traditional role; it actively shapes our society, industry, organizations, and daily life. Design is a tool with which to address a wide range of issues, ranging from strategy to social change. Designers collaborate across disciplines to create holistic, aesthetic and functional products, services and experiences that delight and improve the lives of users.
Prof. Rachel K.B. TROYE is a professor and the Head of Institute of Design at Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO).
