Everyday life as the basis for communication design: Prof. Anna Berkenbusch describes her work as a communication designer based on everyday observations regarding language, manners and relationships. She shows examples from her academic teaching and from her studio in Berlin and also presents her book Alle Tage, Gestaltung verändert die Welt published in 2022. Christian Gralingen and Anja Nienstädt will take up themes from the book in a workshop with their students from the Lette Verein Berlin and deal with them creatively. They will present the results after the lecture of Prof. Anna Berkenbusch. The works will be on display in the feldfünf window gallery until March 24.

The lecture kicks off our new event series DESIGN INSIGHTS, which asks about the role and significance of design in a social context.

Transforming People & Places - The new joint series of IDZ and Archimedes Exhibitions creates space for exchange and discussion between the designers and inhabitants of our city.

The first event in the series deals with urban mobility: from urban design and smart mobility to sharing, participation and climate change. We want to discuss which changes are coming up to us and which are also necessary. Can design influence people's attitudes? How can we make Berlin a better place to live? What innovative mobility concepts are there - and what is missing? And how do we redivide urban space if we focus on people and the environment?

Together with experts* on sustainable urban development and mobility, we initiate an active exchange with guests and experts:
- Leopold Fellinger, Chief Creative Officer Digital Department, Porsche Austria
- Theresa Kalmer, Urban Catalyst Studio
- Dr. Nadine Kuhla von Bergmann, Founder and Managing Director, Creative Climate Cities
- Simon Wöhr, cultural manager for urban development and co-initiator, Radbahn Berlin

Location
Archimedes Exhibitions
Saarbrücker Str. 24

We are looking forward to your visit!

Two eloquent lateral thinkers meet to illuminate the theme »Bauhaus« from different angles. Excursuses into the past, treasures from the world of science, interesting games of thought and perhaps also a visionary look into the future - when the President of the German Design Day, Boris Kochan, and the author and musician Ulrich Müller meet at the end of September in Berlin, everyone is sure to have an enjoyable and undogmatic evening.

The Association of German Industrial Designers (VDID) and the International Design Centre Berlin (IDZ) jointly invite you to this exchange of blows and dialogue.

When:
26. September 2019 at 19 o'clock

Location:
USM Showroom Berlin, Französische Straße 48, 10117 Berlin, Germany

Costs and registration:
Admission is free for VDID and IDZ members.

Not only things are shaped by design. Human behavior can be influenced by design as well. This realization is not new, but in combination with digital tools, its implementation gains a new dimension.

Companies as well as politics specifically use methods of behavioral economics such as nudging in order to influence people. David Cameron even created a nudge unit that helped inducing the British to more organ donations. Nudging works and is successful – that is proven. It usually even works much better than threats, penalties or prescriptions, and better than informing or lecturing. That is good and terrifying at the same time.

Since Richard Thaler received the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2017 for the research he did on this topic, the approach of behavioral or persuasive design has been discussed increasingly in the design context. When does user-orientation and well-intentioned influence lead to incapacitation and immorality? This is what we will discuss with Peter Post, Managing Director of the creative agency Scholz & Volkmer, Prof. Dr. Max von Grafenstein, who is doing research on the topic of “Big Data, Nudging and Digital Self-Determination”, behavioral economist Dr. Mira Fischer, and Cesy Leonard from the Center for Political Beauty.

Moderation: Lucas Verweij
