The conference is premised on the argument that artists and designers need to understand the insights of educators, psychologists, health professionals and diverse user groups to design well.
These things they design may be the classrooms in which we educate our children; the interiors we inhabit most of our lives; the health spaces we design for the ill; the interfaces of our apps; the products we use in the home; the furniture in the streets we walk along; the buildings we envisage and construct.
To do this properly, interdisciplinary understandings are essential.
