The second call for World Design Capital Cape Town 2014 submissions opened on 1 July and is appealing to those interested in making submissions to think big, consider multi-disciplinary collaborations and demonstrate impact, while delivering feasible solutions in a tangible way.
“WDC 2014 is not simply an event, but an invitation for change that will bring collaborators together in ways that create new conversations, new connections and new possibilities, that will last long after 2014,” said Cape Town Design CEO Alayne Reesberg.
While some of the shortlisted projects from the first call showed design led thinking in providing solutions to social challenges in and around Cape Town, the curatorial panel identified gaps that they would like to cover in the second round.
The gaps are specifically in product design, science and technology, food, engineering, architecture, service design and interaction design, and encompasses projects from beyond the Western Cape.
Submissions can be made within any of the four themes for WDC 2014:
•African Innovation. Global Conversation
•Bridging the Divide
•Today for Tomorrow
•Beautiful Spaces. Beautiful Things
