About Talk:
Design isn’t just about aesthetics – let’s kill this 19th century industrial-romantic myth.
Design isn’t just about thinking – let’s clean and reboot this early 21st century myth.
So, where are we ? in a “global scape” where the context is evolving and where the consequences of some decisions are often “translated by bots” lost in algorithms.
Design is a loaded word, as innovation, as leadership; meaning so many things to so many stakeholders.
Till recently, design was seen vertically as a discipline. And some realised that in fact, thinking, strategising, projecting what does not exist yet is the DNA of Design. It is the practice of moving from ideas to actions, exploring the spaces of possibilities, selecting the probables, choosing the preferable (the place where leadership is so needed).
From People and Pixels to People and Places, design is both strategic and much more. Let’s talk about it.

Alok Nandi is founder and creative director of Architempo, UX strategist, interaction designer; president of IxDA - Interaction Design Association (2018-2020).

In parallel, he conceived and published the homage book “Satyajit Ray at 70” and organised an exhibition on Ray at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival.
