Biotik Design:
Territories for life.
"Biotik Design: Territories for life"
How can we design while caring for people and the environment? What does placing life at the centre mean to design?
Biotik Design: Territories for life, invites us to change the lenses with which we work on creative processes to adopt a transformational perspective given an increasingly more complex present-day context. Biotic design means observing and making suggestions from an ecological, inclusive, collaborative, open and experimental perspective. The tenth edition of the BBDW proposes the rethinking of creative practices to direct them towards the design of a more sustainable, fairer and innovative future.
Sustainable future
Promoting a Sustainable Future encourages responsible design, optimising resources and minimising the environmental impact.
Equality and diversity
Building Equality and Diversity seeks to create inclusive environments that value equality and diversity, challenging conventional paradigms.
Collaborative communities
Encouraging Collaborative Communities promotes co-creation in design, fostering collective intelligence.
Open creativity
Embracing Open Creativity promotes open code solutions for the creation of common good.
Experimental innovation
Exploring Experimental Innovation invites experimentation with ideas and techniques for ecological and social transformation.
An interactive process
In addition, Bilbao Bizkaia Design Week 2024 gives shape to the process where different audiences interact: from professionals, organisations, students and training centres related to design, to other environments including public administrations, organisations, associations and the general public. The activities proposed by the curator are linked together and related, with the aim of generating a collective reflection with tangible results, and which we invite you to take part in and enjoy.
Key concepts for the audience to digest and transform into proposals will be introduced by international speakers at Kaixo!, the opening event.
Based on these ideas, and following a Master class, professionals and organisations from Bizkaia will generate a series of recommendations to activate a design that promotes living things in Bizkaia.
At the Diseñatón, approximately fifty students from nine design schools respond to the challenges posed by local organisations linked to the narratives of Biotik Design, and use the decalogue as a measure of the success of the proposals made.
At the same time, Action and Installation focus on the public’s capacity to build cities and care systems, connecting BBDW24 with the general public, and the space at the Ensanche with the façades of Bilbao.
Lastly, Partekatu! closes the week with a festive event including some surprises to meet up and display the results of the collective process.
Activities
Collaborating entities
In the name of the Bilbao City Council and the Biscay Provincial Council, we would like to thank all the collaborating entities that make this meeting possible each year.
