Dan Formosa set for keynote address at ASU’s Third Annual “Exposed” Design Symposium

Dan Formosa, founding member of Smart Design, will be joining Michael Graves, reknowned architect and designer, and Bruce Mau, founder of Bruce Mau Design, on a panel discussion that kicks off the ASU School of Design Innovation’s annual symposium on design research, Exposed 2010. Additionally, Dan will conduct a workshop and present a public lecture during the three-day conference. The event has recently expanded its reach beyond graduate students of design to the larger business community.

About Exposed 2010:
The goal is to bring designers together with leaders in other fields who share a common vision of creating positive change for society. The event will explore design research’s ability to creatively respond to three critical challenges of our time:

SUSTAINABILITY: addressing environmental impacts and responsibilities of design
WELL-BEING: optimizing health and improving quality of life through design
PROSPERITY: designing for brighter economic futures

These three challenges will be examined through interaction with and discussion by a transdisciplinary panel of experts. Speakers, action teams, panel discussions, and workshops will center on developing/discussing actionable research and strategy for meeting these challenges from individual, community, and global perspectives.
