"DESIGN H(ij)ACK"
WHEN ART/DESIGN MEETS PUBLIC SPACE
@TULUM
6-WEEKS
JULY 13TH - AUGUST 24TH
APPLICATION DEADLINE:
JUNE 29TH
OUTLINE
- The main objective of this program is to generate tangible prototypes and solutions along the theme of "DESIGN H(ij)ACK - When Art & Design Meet Public Space". Cross-disciplinary collaboration is a necessity, combined with strong knowledge integration from research, concepts, design, to execution.
- “DESIGN H(ij)ACK” encourages all participants to think differently, design efficiently, and work economically, most important; collectively. May it be a discarded chair, an abandoned space or structure, public infrastructure that is no longer functioning or valid, or playground related - through "DESIGN H(ij)ACK" interventions are expected to become innovative inventions.
- Collaborative initiatives within architecture and public art will be emphasized. We will address different areas of design that manifest in new media technologies, social spaces and public art.
- This year we will be situated in the unique context in Mexico, participants will produce a series of design solutions that aim to solve the pressing issues only manifested within the local context. Since this process must necessarily involve first hand experiences, this direct engagement is key for students to excel outside the academic realm.
- Participants will go through a full process to realize their visions from concept to production. And are expected to learn from this experience by balancing outcome and resource limitations such as labor, speed, budget, material, location, and technology.
- Parallel to the design program, “DESIGN H(ij)ACK” hosts a series of thematic lectures on art and architecture delivered by international masters and local art & design practitioners, simultaneously it also offers fun trips to major cultural sites and production factories.
LOCATION
This years DESIGN H(ij)ACK will be located in Tulum. Tulum is a town on the Caribbean coastline of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. It’s known for its beaches and well-preserved ruins of an ancient Mayan port city.
Tulum is slowly becoming a wasteland of fake eco-resorts, excessive tourism, Airbnb hotels, and more - a result of rampant urbanization and gentrification, locals have been forced out of their own town due to high living costs. We welcome our participants to observe, absorb and explore methods of engagements to Tulum's current condition.
MENTORS
A key aspect of this programme is how our mentors engage with each member of the design group. By breaking down the traditional hierarchy of roles usually characterizing relationships between teacher and pupil or master and apprentice, it creates a platform for reciprocal exchanges of dialogues and co-development of ideas. Further more it encourages every participant not only anticipating to the changes in the process of design development, but also embracing the differences each member contributes.
