"Design and Crime" + Q&A by Peter Mintchev, Broadcom | ex-VMware | ex-Adobe
Talk Description:
The topics of design and crime have often been linked together. Leveraging the belief that design can impact human behavior, it is not a stretch to believe that design decisions can also impact criminal behavior.
In this presentation, Peter Mintchev will expand thought process beyond the purely pragmatic aspects of design to consider “crime” within the domain of design. How is transgression defined within design? How does design manage transgression within its own domain?
From Adolf Loos's notorious article "Ornament and Crime" to today’s definitions of design patterns, systems, and processes, design is preoccupied with boundaries and definitions of right and wrong. However, venturing into the “wrong” side of things has allowed design to innovate. As UX designers today, the challenge is not only to deliver on design but also to continuously redefine the discipline. Can “crime” be looked at for inspiration?
19:20 - 19:50:
