Bruce Nussbaum, Visiting Professor of Innovation and Design at The New School and BusinessWeek contributing editor, will host conversations with international design innovators John Thackara and Ezio Manzini as part of Design at the Edge-Redesigning Our Lives in an Era of Radical Change, a lecture series held in conjunction with a course he is teaching this spring in the School of Design Strategies at Parsons The New School for Design.
Thackara and Manzini are internationally recognized for their leadership roles in an emerging international design movement that collaboratively addresses issues of sustainability and community.
The event with Thackara will take place at Wollman Hall, and the event with Manzini will take place at Tishman Auditorium, The New School, both located at The New School, New York.
Nussbaum's class focuses on the forces of demographic, technological, cultural, economic and political change that are disrupting our social organizations and personal lives.
Through a series of talks, videos and other engagements by a roster of design stars from around the world, both inside and outside Parsons, the lecture series pushes students to think widely about the forces shaping their lives and critically about how to harness the tools and methods of 21st century design to deal with them.
