2024 Changing Gears
With Changing Gears, we explored how design can drive the pace of change. Societal challenges like climate change require a speedy response, while others require slowing down—design researchers at 4TU.Design United are setting that change in motion.
We showcased 14 inspiring research projects at our Design United Expo: Changing Gears in the Klokgebouw in interactive installations that let the audience experience the changing design challenges of our time.
This year, our Dialogues were part of the Mission Days of Dutch Design Week in a new partnership with the Dutch Design Foundation. In five consecutive thematic morning programs in the Natlab, we gathered to discuss, test, play, and experience the latest design research at the 4TU. We framed our themes into the five missions: Living Environment, Thriving Planet, Digital Future, Health & Wellbeing, and Equal Society.
