MAK Design Teambuilding: Following New Patterns!
Meet with designers at an exclusive team building workshop
Choose from two possible options:
- UNlearn together
- Design your Detox
In our workshops, you discover design as a creative tool together. You learn to ask new questions, open perspectives, and question your own habits, learned patterns, and systems of daily coexistence. Design is understood as thinking in a broader sense and as a practice connecting visionary ideas with pragmatic solutions.
We offer a short insight into the Permanent Collection and the MAK Design Lab, and afterwards guide small teams through a creative workshop where you not only approach the concept of design in a new way but also perceive and get to know both the MAK and possibly your team members from a new and personal perspective.
Try yourself at co-creative, design-based thinking and find each other in the common invention of everyday solutions–be it object, service, or intervention. Work according to and within new patterns in the extraordinary atmosphere of the MAK.
Fees
Up to 18 people € 2.000
