6th International Design Workshop Zsennye

This year, the theme of the workshop is "Design Ludens" - Game. According to Johan Huizinga (1944) game (and playing) is the substantive element of human culture, science, art, religion – and all kind of design. Each playing act has a meaning deeper than itself, it's function described as general human need. Based on principle of János Neumann, one founder of game theory, life could be modeled on rational individuals' decisions. Design also can be approached as a series of strategic decisions wherein the players are the designers of product developer companies. A new product's functions, forms, meaning formed by the competition of other products. Technological and aesthetic developments are influenced by designs of other parties. Zsennye Design Workshop
