Live in Queensland Design in the World: SUPERNATURE: Design Inspired by Nature (QLD)

When: 17th September 2009

Time: 10:00am - 05:00pm

A bullet train influenced by owl plumage. Adhesive tape inspired by gecko feet. An aquatics centre based on bubbles in soap foam. A clothing fastener inspired by a burr found in a dog’s coat. These are all examples of iconic designs inspired by the sublime beauty and complexity, or just pure simplicity, of nature.
 
The 2009 LIVE IN QUEENSLAND - DESIGN FOR THE WORLD one day seminar, SuperNature, takes lateral thinking in design to the extreme: pioneering design inspired by nature. Artisan, in partnership with Queensland University of Technology’s Creative Industries, brings to Brisbane nine internationally acclaimed designers and thinkers to discuss the awesome power of nature and its influence on their innovative work.
 
This dynamic seminar will be held at QUT’s Gardens Point Theatre on Thursday, September 17th 2009, from 10am to 5pm. For more seminar information, the full line-up of speakers, and ticketing information please visit the website at www.liveqlddesignworld.com
