Design Thinking/2018/24 min/Reel № 18.001
ByLonny van Ryswyck
Lonny van Ryswyck on the importance of looking after our diminishing resources as designers
Embrace the Unknown/Recorded 2018
A close reading, kept within reach.
Lonny van Ryswyck takes design thinking as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Netherlands in 2018, the conversation is grounded in Lonny's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
In her 2018 Design Indaba Conference talk she takes us through her projects including, A World of Sand, where people donated sand from all over the world.
