CREATIVE CROSSROADS: Can we design for social and ecological awareness?
Join Us!
We are excited to invite you to the launch of CREATIVE CROSSROADS, a new series from IE School of Architecture and Design. This series brings together professionals from diverse creative fields to explore career paths, the skills in demand today, and key industry trends.
For our inaugural event, join us for a dynamic Fishbowl discussion, where a small group will engage in conversation while the audience observes, with the opportunity to jump in and participate when they feel ready.
We are honored to kick off the event with Romina Canna, PhD in Urbanism and Director of d-Lab at IE School of Architecture and Design, and Michael Leube, anthropologist, author of The Future Designer, and Adjunct Professor at IE. Together, they will delve into how design can address today's pressing environmental and societal challenges. Drawing on anthropology, philosophy, cognitive science, and the innovative research of IE's d.LAB, they will discuss new educational approaches to empower designers in shaping a more sustainable future.
Event Highlight: A book signing with Michael Leube will follow the discussion.

Founder at Anthropologylens.com
Michael is fascinated with the interface between Anthropology and Design. He is convinced that only design well adapted to the needs of Homo sapiens is good design and sees it as a link between the theory of the social sciences and developmental work. At IE, his research focuses on the Circular Economy and Design for Social Innovation. Leube is Austrian but lives with his wife and two daughters in Madrid.
