(2.1) Book Presentation “The Future Designer” by Michael Leube

As part of Design Revolution Now!, IDRV and designaustria invite you to the book presentation of The Future Designer followed by a discussion with the author, Michael Leube.

In times of ecological and social upheaval, design can be a powerful catalyst for a sustainable future. However, to fully realize this potential, profound changes in both theory and practice are necessary.

In his book, Leube takes a visionary approach, combining anthropological perspectives with philosophy and cognitive science. He advocates for a radical redesign of the design curriculum and demonstrates how designers can foster human virtues to create sustainable production and consumption patterns. With his extensive expertise in the circular economy, Leube also presents practical approaches, methods, and tools that redefine design as a pro-social and ecologically responsible craft.

Together with Michael Leube and moderated by Harald Gründl we look forward to discussing the transformative power of design and its role in addressing urgent social and environmental challenges. Join us for an inspiring dialogue!
