A collaborative initiative to explore design’s impact on the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Design Emergency explores ‘design’ as one of the most powerful tools in protecting us from the pandemic, improving its treatment and to prepare us for the radical changes it will introduce to our lives in the future. The conversations demonstrate an extraordinary diversity of design and how effectively it can address urgent problems and tackle the complex social, political, economic and ecological challenges in these turbulent times. Founders, Paola Antonelli and Alice Rawsthorn streamed weekly Instagram live talks with leading figures of the design industry as part of this initiative, and setting examples and inspirations for the anxious eyes for a brighter future.
