Theme
INTELLIGENCE(S)
This edition explores INTELLIGENCE(S) — ancestral, natural, collective and artificial — showcasing design that not only tackles climate and social crises but also asks: what knowledge, stories and data are we feeding the language systems shaping our world? By pairing age-old wisdom with emerging tech, we reimagine how design can regenerate ecosystems, cultures and economies.
