This exhibition explores the expansive nature of design as an experience, process and worldview. Featuring projects by staff and students from LASALLE’s Faculty of Design, it investigates the role of designers in imagining our collective future.

Design is a key driver in global conversations about technology, the economy and the environment. Collaborative forms of design—through cooperative societies, co-working and living spaces—are central to innovation. These interactive, shared models enable designers to pool resources and better engage diverse communities.

Encounters presents a window on LASALLE’s Faculty of Design as a site of collaborative knowledge and cultural production. The exhibition spans different zones which unpack the inspirations and encounters that have guided design projects at LASALLE in recent years.
