LCC’s Dean of the School of Design, Professor Lawrence Zeegen, has launched a brand new series of informal guest presentations and conversations for the College’s postgraduate community and Friends of the School of Design.
‘Design Dialogues 20/20/20’ are an opportunity to meet and learn about UAL Chairs, Visiting Professors, Visiting Fellows and industry practitioners, learning more about their approach to design practice, design thinking and design research.
Taking place 4.30-5.30pm on selected Thursdays, the events follow a 20/20/20 format with a 20-minute guest presentation, a 20-minute Q&A session and 20 minutes networking.
The inaugural Dialogue took place on Thursday 20 March and featured Matt Rice and Hege Aaby of interactive design studio Sennep. Matt and Hege told attendees about their ‘Philosophy of Trying Stuff’, describing how small personal projects have led to huge exposure for the studio and frequently a level of success that they could not have predicted.
