3.0 Forum
November 1st, 2024
12:00-19:30
N25 KAIST, Daejeon, South Korea
ID KAIST (Department of Industrial Design at KAIST) warmly invites you to the Design 3.0 Forum, which will take place on November 1, 2024, in Daejeon, South Korea.
The 2024 Design 3.0 Forum will explore the future directions of design research and education in an era shaped by the transformative influence of AI. The forum will feature a design talk concert format, bringing together 18 young design professors representing the new generation of design education and research. We are honored to have Professor Peter Lloyd, the President of IASDR(International Association of Societies of Design Research) and a Professor at Delft University of Technology, as our keynote speaker. He will delve into "Designing Intelligence," one of the most critical topics shaping the future of design education and research. Following the forum, from 18:00 to 19:30, participants will have the opportunity to experience part of a special exhibition hosted by the Department of Industrial Design at KAIST, commemorating the Paris Olympics, along with other recent design research outcomes.
The reception will also serve as a pre-event for the Fall International Design Research Conference organized by the Korean Society of Design Science (KSDS), which will be held on November 2.
We look forward to your participation in this free forum and hope you will join us in this unique opportunity to shape the future of design research and education.

Much of how we construct meaning in the world is qualitative rather than quantitative. We think and act in
response to the qualities of phenomena, senses, thoughts, and expressions, and the relationships between
them. What role do the senses play in design research, and how can they be used as mediums for
exploration?
This talk explores the opportunities, highlighting how these elements can serve as mediums for creative
research and practice.

2021-2023 Senior Designer at Samsung Electronics 2021-2021 Principal Designer at ROLI Ltd 2014 London Design Museum's Design of the Year Product Category Winner 2012 London Olympic/Paralympic Podium Designer
Learning to create music requires significant effort and time, which is why the current music content market is largely dominated by the consumption of works produced by a small group of experts. If learning to make music becomes easier and music creation becomes more accessible to the general public, could it potentially transform the music content market?

Anneke Coppoolse is an Assistant Professor in the Visual Communication Design Department at Hongik University in Seoul. She works at the intersection of the humanities and design. Her research centres on the materiality and visuality of urban life and, more recently, it has moved on to exploring more-than-human entanglements.
This talk presents a series of questions about design education in our contemporary moment—a moment that in cultural theory is referred to as an impasse or a conjuncture. It draws from learnings in the humanities and observations and experiments in design classrooms as it muses over relevant (urgent) thematics such as care and imagination.

Chris Hamamoto is a designer, developer, and educator from the San Francisco Bay Area, now living in Seoul and teaching at Seoul National University. In addition to teaching, he pursues an independent practice focused on how software and hardware platforms affect communication and aesthetics - a topic he explores through graphic and software design.
In this talk I'll share about research into the recent history of automated processes for interpreting images into text, and design projects responding to these findings. These projects includes form-making, interface design, book design, and exhibition making. While technical in subject matter, these activities represent a non-expert view and ponder how artists and designers can engage in highly technical subjects.

Technological innovations create ground-breaking impacts on the industry, which then change the role of industrial designers. Recent advancements of AI, particularly generative language models, are disrupting the procedure-oriented design paradigm, and will continue to call for a paradigm shift. This talk suggests an object-oriented design paradigm, which consists of new roles and deliverables of designers along with the needs for design research.
