Designers for the Future, OBJECTS - MIT MAD Part 2 Replay / May 1, 2024

Watch the Part 2 replay from our May 1, 2024 "Designers for the Future" event - three short presentations and a panel conversation dedicated to the theme of "Objects."
Since its launch in October 2022, the MIT Morningside Academy for Design (MAD) has fostered an interdisciplinary design culture at MIT, addressing pressing societal and environmental challenges.
The event which took place at the MIT Museum as part of Boston Design Week featured three generations of Design Fellows: the inaugural 2022 cohort, the current 2023 group, and the newly selected 2024 designers.
Through short presentations and conversations, the Fellows explore how design is fundamental in solving environmental, health, and technical challenges through the themes of Bodies, Objects, and Environments.
-- SPEAKERS --
* GANIT GOLDSTEIN
Ganit examines how computational design workflow can be used to generate sustainable customized garments, and how new capabilities can be incorporated into fabric constructions.
* LIANE MAKATURA
Liane writes software that helps people design and optimize 3D-printable structures with exceptional properties, such as the ability to block sound or be simultaneously strong and lightweight.
* LYLE REGENWETTER
Throughout his years at MIT, Lyle has developed AI tools for design, putting them in the hands of designers at MIT and throughout the broader community. He seeks to develop more capable tools that can rapidly generate innovative designs to meet complex requirements while expanding the impact of AI in design.
