BY DESIGN FOR DESIGN XYZ

BY DESIGN FOR DESIGN (BDFD) is a mix between a temporary work floor shared with fellow reserarchers, artists and designers and a pop up exhibition open for public. BDFD proposes an exercise in formulating and crash testing concepts and ideas about creation and potential research the designerly way. Partakers are incited to act as the designer, architect or artist that they are, within and by means of that research. Each participant is asked to produce in advance in the medium and in the discipline of choice a work that prefigures in a tangible way a possible output of potential research or creation. All of these prefigurations of output are then exposed. That exhibition makes out the material on which we work together - reverse engineering the prefigurations of output into designs of research potentially leading up to such output. Regular Research Training Sessions participants and special guests participants meet on equal foot. Designed food interventions keep us going.
