‘What is design?’ we asked the audience of What Design Can Do São Paulo, this Monday and Tuesday in the city’s FAAP Theatre. The question yielded a zillion replies on Twitter. Here’s a small selection.
‘Design is power,’ says Giovana Ramos, while Thales Batista thinks that ‘design is nothing, the connections we make are everything’.
