Designing Tomorrow
Please join us for a conversation with the authors of the book Designing Tomorrow, Martin Tomitsch and Steve Baty.
Co-hosted by ACM SIGCHI Chapter for Canberra and the ANU School of Cybernetics, this event includes 30 minutes networking with light refreshments provided from 10.30am to 11am. From 11am to 12pm Martin and Steve will present and invite questions.
About the book
We decided to write this book after listening to each other’s talks at the UX Australia conference in August 2021. Hearing Steve share insights from his practice about the far-reaching impact design can create, Martin recognised the connection between his research on life-centredness and strategic design practice.
Our objective for the book became to combine Martin’s academic knowledge with Steve’s industry experience. We both feel passionate about design and its potential to drive positive change. We believe that we owe it to future generations to enable this change.
We also realise that we have contributed to the issues discussed in the first three chapters through our research, teaching, and practice. This experience provides us with perspective as well as a responsibility to change what we do and become part of the solution.
