But what do we actually consider important to our quality of life? And how can we achieve that?

Food
This year we focus on a critical analysis of the food design discipline. We will research promising food projects with which designers raise questions about our current food system or about our role as consumers, and yet did not make it to the shelves of the supermarket. The findings will be presented during DDW in the supermarket of the future.
