Since
its inception, slowLab has enabled public dialogues as a means
of advancing understanding of slow design and promoting the important
role of communication and collaboration in slow design methodology.
The
Slow Dialogues began as forums
in which intimate groups of creative thinkers gathered to collectively
explore the concept of 'slow' and its potential applications
in practice. Those
first dialogues were recorded and the transcripts of each gathering
published to the slowLab web site
to be read through by the community at large and
serve as a resource for participating members of our network.
Since
then, the Slow Dialogues have evolved to include presentations
of recent and proposed slow design projects, which are then open
for discussion, critique and co-designing by interested members
of the public in attendance. And in Fall 2008, the program of
Slow Dialogues will expand to be hosted by trusted members of
our ineternational network.
Follow
the link below to our Slow Dialogue blog, a recently-created
web space to document and collect comments about the dialogues.
(Just
for fun, there
is also a link to excerpts
from our very first dialogues held between April and December
2003).
