The Industrial Designer’s Society of America presents “The Future Is…”
The Future Is…
An International Conference & Education Symposium
Eastman/IDSA Education Symposium
Paper & Poster Presentation: Aug 15, 5:30-6:30pm
425 Summer Street
Boston, MA
Brooks will be presenting his latest paper about design education called “Think Pieces (or WWLGD?)”.
Think Pieces will explore the relationship between big ideas in education and how the process of design can be taught by one single, simple, intellectual question: What Would Lady Gaga Do? (WWLGD?) Think Pieces will show how thinking big can both inspire and transform design education. The process of design has many faces, but when you approach a project by asking that one thought provoking question, “What Would Lady Gaga Do?” you get results that tap into your imagination, push boundaries, challenge existing norms and inspire unadulterated creativity with a real life direct connection to entrepreneurial business. Ideas can change everything. Learning, Thinking + Education = new ways to impact the business of design (i.e. the future).
