what is design action?
DesignAction.bdg
is an event held by Bandung Creative City Forum (BCCF), an independent
organization that was established in 2008 by a number of creative
communities and individuals in Bandung, whose activities focuses on
programs that leave positive footprints in the city. DesignAction.bdg is
among the programs that aim to do so; this time by employing the
methods of Urban Acupuncture and Design Thinking.
DesignAction.bdg
is a workshop-conference where participants will be actively involved
during their event. Everyone will participate in a two-days workshop
and, relevant to the subject of urban mobility, will experience Bandung
and its transportation systems and surroundings. The results of this
workshop will be formulated as recommendations, which, hopefully, will
be realized in the near future.
DesignAction.bdg
gained its name from when BCCF was invited to present about their
creative intervention in Bandung at d.confestival, the 1st international
conference on Design Thinking, which was held at Hasso-Plattner
Institute of Design Thinking/ d.school Potsdam (Germany) in September
2012. As most BCCF activities have been conducted spontaneously from one
program to another, without putting too much consideration in the
consequences, BCCF refers to its programs as a series of “action”,
rather than “thinking”. Hence the title “DesignAction.bdg” for BCCF
presentation material at d.confestival (.bdg is added, to identify
Bandung’s creative product).
The
experience of BCCF at d.confestival at HPI d.school has left such an
impression that it has become the main trigger for BCCF to hold
DesignAction.bdg, which will be held on October 1-3, 2013. BCCF would
like to bring the experience to Bandung, involving as many varieties of
participants as possible, and experimenting with Urban Acupuncture and
Design Thinking methods, in order to come up with fresh, innovative
solutions for a number of urban issues.
