Design Idiosyncrasies Presentation - VCUQ, Doha...

Tomorrow, Tuesday December 3, at 12.15 PM, I'll be doing a small lunch-time presentation in the VCUQ VIP Room titled Design Idiosyncrasies... The short abstract for the presentation is included below...

The presentation will also show how the use of various 'mundane' materials - such as Velcro, Toast, or Sadu thread - can be appropriated into new, and perhaps somewhat unexpected, design based uses and contexts...
