“This year’s D Day will set open design as the starting point for discussing the concept of open design in the narrower context of the design profession, as well as in the broader social context and process of ‘opening up’ design. In the strict sense, we will analyze the legal, theoretical and practical framework of the concept of open design and its relation to the market environment. In the broad sense, we will discuss open design as a process of including users in design practices, which will move the lines of technologies and tools that they use, with a wide range of implications that this entails. At the same time, we are interested in characteristic collaborative processes and methodologies which are created within the scope of open approach design, as well as the ways in which they contribute to ‘opening up’ design, i.e. to its broader and more intensive application in other areas. By using different artistic, engineering and designer works as examples, we will raise a series of questions and provoke a discussion from different standpoints and approaches to the subject.

The thematic curated exhibition will display works of different scopes and ambitions that use the principles of open design, while the Young Authors Exhibition will display a selection of the best submitted thematically free works. In the discursive program we will encourage dialog between design and other disciplines, while the workshops will familiarize local authors with work methods that can usually be encountered only occasionally.”
