IED at Dubai Design Week 2018

Date

19 October 2018

IED participates in Dubai Design Week 2018 with Stalactite, a project by Master in Sustainable Design from IED Barcelona, and also offers a workshop in collaborative design.

How can spring water come straight from the tap? The idea of Stalactite was conceived as an alternative to bottled water that could drastically lessen plastic and packaging waste. Its inventors are Roberto Ayala and Mateo Alcázar, two students from the Masters in Sustainable Design. The project has been selected to take part in the Global Grad Show at Dubai Design Week 2018, which will be taking place from 12 to 17 November.

The Director of the IED Barcelona Masters, Marina Ojan, will also be in Dubai to hold two LEGO® Serious Play® sessions about taking on a collaborative approach for effective methodology and communication. These workshops will take place on Friday 16 November at the Downtown Design Forum, a platform designed to encourage professionals from around the globe to exchange different points of view about design.
