    DESIGN AND COGNITION

    Bolzano, Italy ---- September 2-6, 2002

    Most of the world that we know is designed. Furthermore, almost everyone in
    the Western world has become a designer at their personal computer (e.g.,
    publishing their own web-pages). Design has become everyone's domain, and
    the 21st century communicates via design. This has made it extremely
    important to understand the relation between design and cognition. This
    school brings together four speakers who are internationally known for their
    work in the areas of design and cognition.

    Speakers:
    John Gero (Sydney)
    Michael Leyton (Rutgers)
    Michael J. Pratt (Cranfield)
    Gerard Schmitt (Zurich)

    Concluding lecture by Daniel Liebeskind on Friday 6, at 7 pm
