The Stockholm Design Nerds are a network of collaborating designers and artists who share a desire to engage design opportunities with a spirit of creative play and to challenge the normative environment of the city. The diversity of the group enriches the design process and propels discussion far beyond the prescribed parameters of a project, revealing opportunities and unanticipated, often surprising results. Design Nerd members are active in architecture, green building, urban design, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, engineering, fine arts, photography, sculpture, policy, sustainability, artificial intelligence, theatre, renewable energy, fashion, dance, film, community development, etc.
The purposes of the society are to:
(a) Provide space and facilities for interdisciplinary design collaboration and dialog,
(b) Foster collaboration within the design community through regular, organized events,
(c) Engage lay- and expert groups in dialog on design through newspaper, broadcast and web-based media and through participation in public exhibitions and workshops,
(d) Undertake design projects that engage community and public space; all net proceeds of which will be re-invested in the society to further objectives a, b and c above.
