The Future of the Intersection Between Design and Technology

Abstract

Professor of Architecture and Design Tech Chair Jenny Sabin and inaugural Design Tech faculty and fellows will lead an engaging panel discussion on the future of the intersection between design and technology. In conjunction with the Design Tech Open Studio Exhibition at Cornell Tech, this panel will explore how emerging technologies are transforming design practices and solving critical global challenges.

Panelists:

• Marcelo Coelho, Visiting Lecturer, Design Tech Innovation Fellow & Director of the Design Intelligence Lab, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
• Marirena Kladeftira, Visiting Lecturer & Design Tech Innovation Fellow, Cornell University
• Daniel Leithinger, Visiting Assistant Professor & Design Tech Innovation Fellow, Cornell University
• Wendy Ju, Associate Professor & Director of the Car Simulator Lab, Cornell Tech and the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute
• Jenny Sabin, Arthur L. and Isabel B. Wiesenberger Professor & Chair of the Department of Design Tech, Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning

The new Department of Design Tech at Cornell University is a multicollege, transdisciplinary initiative pioneering innovation, research, and teaching on topics at the intersection of design and emerging technology that most greatly impact research, industry, and practice in a changing world. Bridging expertise and catalyzing exploration, innovation, and collaboration in emerging areas, including design + interactions, design + materials, and design + environments, Design Tech is a generator of new modes, methods, and applications that redefine design practice and research.

Cornell colleges participating in the Department of Design Tech include The College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP), Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science (Bowers CIS), Cornell Engineering, Cornell Human Ecology (CHE), and Cornell Tech in New York City.

This event is organized by Cornell Tech.
