Today kicked off the second by-annual conference of “The International Association of Societies of Design Research“, titled “Emerging Tends in Design Research“. in Hong Kong.
It can be defined as an academic orgy of research papers.
All they did is: “I show you mine to you and you show me yours”
Talks, keynotes and presentations were happening nonstop from 9:00 to 19:00, in 5 different venues.
today the discussions were organized around:
Collaboration / Culture / Perception / Education / Process / History
*impossible to follow everything. I faced the paradox of choice 
Highlight:
T. Franqueira wen talking about social innovation and creative communities to reshape the urban lives…
the question:
“how can these projects make profit?”the answer:
“they don’t make profit, they make benefit”
that’s the difference between the economic or the social approach.
