This Same World

Naïve impressions from an expanded view of our environs

Abstract

Clyde Doyle is Co-Chair of the MA Design for Change in IADT, a programme run in collaboration with the Institute without Boundaries (IwB) at George Brown College in Toronto, and the Post Graduate Certificate in Critical Design Philosophies, and lectures on the BA in Design for Film. His professional career since 1995 has spanned a variety of creative industries; industrial design, model making/rapid prototyping, fine art fabrication and production design for film, TV and theatre.

Currently engaged in his PhD in Design at the National College of Art and Design (NCAD), he is developing non-anthropocentric design methodologies with the aim of facilitating ecological design practice. He is also a Principal Investigator at IADT’s new Public Design Lab which is focused on design for social and public good.

Peter Ever’s research and practice is post-phenomenological; drawing on a range of theoretical paradigms encompassing systems  theory, performativity, situational ethics, biological determinism and non-human ontologies. He fuses his experience as a Lecturer in Visual Communication Design/Graphic Design at IADT with his practice as an art photographer; to consider how artistic practices can generate critical tools for investigative design methods and produce “fast tools for slow thinking." The insights gleaned from this combination of practice and research led to his founding role in the Public Design Lab whose mission is to address the most complex
challenges facing our society with value-led design approaches.
