The symposium proposes to explore the notion of situated design through its theoretical, methodological and practical dimensions. It questions how design practices, rooted in material, social and ecological environments, can renew ways of inhabiting and transforming the world. By combining philosophical approaches, field research, educational experiments and research-creation projects, the aim is to highlight practices that are attentive to the relationships between humans, non-humans and living environments.

The conference thus aims to create a space for interdisciplinary dialogue, bringing together researchers, designers, artists and practitioners around contemporary issues of ecology, materiality and situated knowledge
