Social Design & Conversations
Today's lecture centered on the topic of social design and conversation. We were very privileged to talk to Professor Hugo Christo from Brazil. It was a great way to exchange ideas and discuss the similarities and differences between a researcher and a designer. We also discussed the ethical and practical views within Social Design and his major influences during his studies and within his art practices. One of which was Alejandro Aravena, who's work helped Hugo to present both practical and theoretical within his own works. Aravena's projects center around the theme of bringing life to architecture. One study, titled Villa Verde, Chile, depicts a half built house, in which can be purchased with the intention of the buyer finishing the other half. Through workshops and practical learning the buyer can complete the house. Its a way of showing how humans can adapt to their environment and learn to over come challenges. Christo states "Its about listening and understanding an individuals needs, 20% effort, 80% consensus building.
