TRANSITION DESIGN • Thinking and Acting for Change in the Anthropocene

8.45am (for 9.00am start) to 1.00pm Wednesday 6th December, University of Technology Sydney

Terry Irwin and Cameron Tonkinwise

Transition Design is set of knowledges and practices assembled by colleagues at Carnegie Mellon University to bring together sustainability transition management and the professional practice of design. Transition management researchers tend to miss the mediating power of designing in their theories of change. But more significantly, designers, even those working on wicked problems, are not well-informed about strategies for effecting multi-stage, systems-level change in our societies. Terry Irwin will explain the Transition Design model that has been developed to teach designers about ways of realising longer term change. Terry will share recent project work in which a range of stakeholders in Ojai, California, have used a range of tools to develop shared visions for transitioning their community to more careful water usage.

Professor Terry Irwin is the Head of the School of Design at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in the USA and has been teaching at university level since 1986. Her research is in Transition Design, a new area of design study, practice and research that argues for societal transition toward more sustainable futures. Terry, along with Gideon Kossoff and Cameron Tonkinwise developed Transition Design and integrated it into programs and curricula at the School of Design in 2014.

Professor Cameron Tonkinwise is Professor of Design at the University of NSW in Sydney and a strong advocate for the importance of critical practice-based design research. In collaboration with colleagues at CMU and an international network of scholar-practitioners, he continues to research and develop Transition Design as a design-enabled, multi-level, multi-stage approach to structural change toward more sustainable futures.

Registration for this workshop will open next week when you will receive an invitation.
