Stuart Walker (Professor and Co-Director, ImaginationLancaster) - Touchstones: Conceptual Products for Sustainable Futures

Touchstones: Conceptual Products for Sustainable Futures ImaginationLancaster is a new creative research lab at Lancaster University that explores futures for people, products, places and systems. Stuart will introduce this initiative and present recent work in which he combines theoretical critique with speculative objects to probe the meanings and implications of design for sustainability. Notions of localization, distributed enterprise, and flux lead to product concepts based on re-seeing, re-valuing, temporary arrangements, and evolving permanence.
