Design Networking Hub
Funded by the German Federal Foreign Office, the German Design Museum Foundation is developing the "Design Networking Hub", a contemporary knowledge and networking platform to support German-Kenyan cooperation projects in the field of design.
The Design Networking Hub is intended to provide all essential information for the implementation of German-Kenyan cooperation projects, which include, for example, recorded lectures, handouts, address and contact pools and best practice examples. Thus, a practice-oriented source of information for the cultural and creative industries of both countries has been established which connects designers / architects / creators from different disciplines and enables them to independently initiate and implement cooperation projects for the German or Kenyan market.
To make the information offered by Hub as user-oriented as possible, a pilot group of five German and five Kenyan young designers / architects will be recruited to work through the entire process of a bilateral cooperation project. The progress of the project will be documented on the website.
HISTORIC PHOTO ARCHIVES
In the mid-1950s the German Design Council begins documenting the dynamic as well as continuous development of German industrial design. The result is a valuable operational archive for producers, designers, teachers and students. In order to make pioneers of modern product designs both visible and utilizable for the 21st century on a permanent basis, we are currently digitising the collection.
