about design dialogues

The Design Dialogues site houses all online publications from the School of Design Strategies at Parsons School of Design.

This site is funded by the Stephan Weiss Lecture Series on Business Strategy, Negotiation and Innovation. This lectureship was launched in 2002 to commemorate the life of the late artist and sculptor Stephan Weiss, husband and business partner of the fashion designer Donna Karan. Weiss co-founded Donna Karan International in 1984, and was instrumental in every significant venture the company undertook: launching and structuring new brands, most notably the Donna Karan Beauty company; signing new licenses; establishing in-house legal and creative departments; devising its computer design technology; orchestrating the company’s initial public offering in 1996; and negotiating its sale to the current owner LVMH Moet Hennessy – Louis Vuitton.

(New) Public Goods: Design, Aesthetics and Politics

(New) Public Goods: Labs, Publics and Practices

06.11.2014
Wednesday, May 21, 2014
9:30 am to 3:30 pm

Location: Theresa Lang Community and Student Center, Arnhold Hall
The New School
55 West 13th Street, 2nd Floor

The 2013-2014 Stephan Weiss Lecture Series concludes with a day-long event entitled “(New) Public Goods: Labs, Publics and Practices.” The event builds on conversations from the Fall 2013 Weiss Lecture, “(New) Public Goods: Design, Politics and Aesthetics,” and will seek to move some of the conceptual ideas that emerged out of the previous event into conversation with more practical, grounded or project-based examples of “design for the public good,” “design for public policy,” or “design for social innovation.” Distinguished invited guests represent a broad international range of “public innovation places” or labs, and they will present and critically reflect on their current work within such spaces.

This event will also mark the conclusion of a two-year project supported by the Rockefeller Foundation entitled “Designing Services for Housing,” and will include a presentation on the project outcomes.

Please join us for a day of stimulating presentations and conversation around a growing set of sites and practices working to effect new kinds of innovation in the public realm.
