MAKING A DIFFERENCE: DeSigning for HAppineSS professor Cathy Treadaway Cardiff School of Art & Design DAte: Wednesday 14th October 2015 tiMe: 5:45pm for 6pm start Venue: Lecture theatre O1.01, cardiff school of Management, Llandaff campus
Design is about people; the better able designers are to understand their needs, the easier it is to create appropriate solutions to support them. using practical participatory approaches, in which people are kept at the heart of the process, it is possible to gain insights into human experience and then design positively to promote human flourishing and enhance wellbeing. Creative activities can be used as powerful and life-changing opportunities to contribute to dialogues in the design process. Making by hand, gesture and touch can be used as valuable tools to unlock thinking, reframe problems and aid communication. Participatory approaches that combine empathy and creative group activities are being used in a number of CARiAD led international research projects that seek to address the global design challenge of caring for our ageing society. LAuGH, Sensor e-textiles, Hand i Pockets and HAnDS are all projects that focus on design to support the wellbeing of people with dementia.

“BE BOLD OR ITALIC, never regulAr” (ANONYMOUS) professor olwen Moseley Cardiff School of Art & Design DAte: Wednesday 27th January 2016 tiMe: 5:45pm for 6pm start Venue: Lecture theatre O1.01, cardiff school of Management, Llandaff campus
this inaugural professorial lecture will trace an unconventional career punctuated by opportunities taken to champion the importance of design to celebrate the impact of the design community and to be the bridge between industry and academia. it will also pose the question 'graphic design - it's not really a matter of life or death is it?' as a reminder of the potential and influence of an underestimated profession. Students, teachers and design professionals often grapple with a definition that appears superficial and concerned with servicing shallow consumer industry, when the aspiration is to be a designer who can change the world.
