Designing Experience: Performance, Play, and Participation

Shifting the focus from the design of material goods and physical artifacts, we will explore the design of human experience, and discuss how whether for games, performances, or other engagements, design plays a critical role in how we perceive, interact, and feel.

Design Redefined

Design Redefined is a seminar series that challenges conventional perceptions of design. Here, we push beyond aesthetics, usability, and marketability, to explore design as a powerful tool for change.

Our aim is to bring together high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, as well as design professionals, to collectively redefine design. Each session will feature engaging panel discussions with thought leaders, sparking new perspectives and ideas.  Following these discussions, participants will engage in hands-on exploration of key design principles, while enjoying light refreshments and networking. 

The museum will grant free admission for all visitors beginning at 3:00 pm on the session dates. However, please be aware that seating is limited, so we encourage you to reserve your spot early.  

Design Redefined is a collaboration between iFp, MIT Museum, and MIT MAD.
