Objective of the Workshop and Modalities

The objective of the workshop is to bring together an international community of French-speaking doctoral students interested in the evolution of current practices in design and identifying emerging processes.The workshop is proposed as a meeting between stakeholders in the field (architects, designers, engineers, computer scientists, psychologists, semioticians, philosophers, etc.) and aims to exchange on the following aspects:

• New forms of representations and their influences on processes and products
• Emerging organizations in design work and collaborative design
• Roles and impacts of new technologies in design.

The workshop aims to be participatory and aspires to provide a discussion space related to the research themes of the doctoral students.

Statement of Intent

To participate, a statement of intent must be submitted by October 25, 2024, presenting, in one page:

• A summary in French outlining the context, objective, and methodology of your thesis work
• Three keywords
