About the talk
Clementina Gentile – On poetry and design
When design becomes more and more a commodity, what is the role of the designer? How can we shift the focus from standardization and optimization to social impact and relevance? My curiosity towards language has brought me to investigate how poetry deals with these questions and what we can learn from it. In this talk, I will illustrate 4 principles of poetry that can be applied to the design practice: hindrance, openness, polyphony, and elegance.
