Designing Utopias:

Gaze into Time

Collectively Imagining the Future of Design

Get to know us

Our vision

We want to encourage interconnection between the space, speakers and the visitors to give a platform for exploration of the future of design and at the same time inspire and give food for thought, to not only change the understanding of design, but to invite participants to become the change themselves

Our mission

The conference is a collaborative prototype that invites participants on an interdimensional journey through time and space to explore the interconnectivity of the past, the present and 
the future of design

Our project

Designing Utopias is a collaborative prototype of a design conference, from designers -  for designers. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the MAID programme, we want to invite you to explore how the design discipline has evolved in the last 20 years and how the future of design will look like


*This event is created and organized by the students and 
teachers of MAID
