About the Seminar
This seminar was the first physical event held by ADP in 2023, which has also served as a "warm-up" activity to the upcoming "Design Tour Exhibition", scheduled to take place in Kyoto in November of this year. When registrations open, we will formally invite all advisors and members to this exciting tour.
As part of its theme "Sustainability in the Design Field", this conference aimed to provide students, designers, educators, and practitioners a unique platform for learning, exchanging, and exploring new ideas and insights.
We were honored to have counted with the participation of two renowned speakers in this event, namely the two founders of Cabeza Patata studio, Katie Menzies and Abel Reverter and the co-founder of BALANCE ARCHITETTURA, Alberto Lessan.
