Structures for Inclusion Conference 2022

Structures for Inclusion 2022 will feature work of five international design organizations who have successfully been joining efforts to create a network of networks, called Design for the Common Good Network, which functions as an incubator for best ideas, projects, practices, and education in public interest design.

Keynote speakers are Teddy Cruz, Fonna Forman and Peter Fattinger.

The conference is partnering with the Design for the Common Good (DCG) Network and features the Design for the Common Good International Exhibition hosted at Metropolitan State University of Denver's Center for Visual Art. The exhibition presents thirty public interest design projects from six continents and twenty-two countries. Richly documented through artifacts, photography, plans, videos, and design process graphics, the exhibition tells the individual and collective stories of projects selected from within the five international design organizations that comprise the DCG Network, including a curated selection of regional works. Exhibited according to key issues each project addresses, the Design for the Common Good International Exhibition brings the extraordinary value of public interest design to the forefront where projects across the globe share a profound connection to the social, economic, and environmental fabric of life.

The DCG Network is introducing a new digital platform to facilitate collaborations along with a database of public interest design projects. The features will be demonstrated at the Conference, Exhibition, and Conversations.
