Design Beyond Boundaries: Rethinking the Future

Reinvention, Renewal, Restoration, and Recycling are all driving forces behind good design today. But what factors create visionary expression? In what ways do designers see new yet crucial and expansive opportunities to contribute to society through their craft? And what role – and what responsibility – does design play in meaningful human uplift? The idea that design plays an irreplaceable role in leading not only new experiences but laying paths for a better, more sustainable world is driving design thinking, design processes, and the use of technology to reach new levels of design innovation.

Pratt Institute’s 2024 Design Symposium will convene a distinguished panel of designers and industry leaders to explore the exciting ways in which design is pushing the boundaries and helping reimagine the future. Please join us for this special evening.

Free and open to the public; reservations required.

Supported by the Marc Rosen Education Fund.

Additional funding by Juliana Terian, The Terian Foundation.
