Tactical Design in Industrial Responses for Pandemics

At the Institute of Design (ID) at Illinois Tech, we look at the world in new ways to create the change we hope to see in it.Since our founding by Bauhaus émigré László Moholy-Nagy in 1937, we’ve continually turned design into a powerful tool anyone can use to transform the systems that shape our lives—from cities, education, and finance to food, healthcare, and technology.We’re the only US design school devoted completely to graduate students, and the first to offer a PhD. Uniting science and rigor with creativity and rapid iteration, we’re recognized around the globe as pioneers in human-centered design, systems design, and other methods that apply design to the real world.It’s through these unique approaches that students, communities, and corporations learn to observe the systems they’re surrounded by—and envision the new worlds they can build from them.Here, learners and leaders discover what design makes possible. It enables us to adapt with the speed, scale, and complexity of life. To anticipate change and the impact of our actions. And, most importantly, to imagine—then create—brighter futures for us all.Learn more about ID atid.iit.edu.

This webinar will present research from the intersection of design and public health to contribute to COVID-19 pandemic resiliency.

<p>The global mobilization of resources in response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spur new solutions within and across borders. As countries build strategies to re-open their economies, different industries develop their own tactical responses to address the emerging public health needs.</p><p>A team of researchers from IIT Institute of Design and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health investigated the emerging infrastructures during the re-opening of economies. ID Associate Professor Carlos Teixeira and ID Ph.D. Student Azra Sungu led this study in collaboration with André Nogueira, ID alum and Associate Researcher at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. This webinar will present learnings at the intersection of design and public health to contribute to pandemic resiliency and equip ourselves with tools to give shape to equitable infrastructures.</p>
