About Design Academy Eindhoven
The GEO—DESIGN exhibition platform explores the social, economic, territorial and geopolitical forces shaping design today. It generates original research into complex contemporary systems in the form of design explorations and investigations. It has transformed the annual exhibition of the Academy’s alumni work – produced in collaboration with Van Abbemuseum – to create an ongoing exhibition series that provides an urgently needed space for showcasing experimental approaches to design research.
