«What we design designs us back.» This sentence by techno-futurist Jason Silva is the motto of the DDCast. Design influences the way we live together. We cannot carry on as before, or we will fall from crisis to crisis. Creativity is needed! How can we rethink the world with the help of design? Every week, the Deutscher Designer Club brings us strong voices from the worlds of design, science, business, politics. The DDCast, the podcast of the DDC, has been published since 2020 on a weekly basis. Listen here the episonde with Alfredo Häberli.
