Sauvez vos projets

All of us who butter our toast every morning are designers without even knowing it! For more ambitious projects - a gratin, a space shuttle - there's the iterative method. Antoine Defoort reveals its secrets in a fascinating lecture, which, if it doesn't save the world, could well change our lives.

In existence, everything would be - according to Antoine Defoort - a matter of design, and the iterative method, the shortest - albeit circular - route to allowing ourselves to realize our dreams. With his usual sense of the offbeat and his immoderate taste for metaphors, he shows us this in a show that marries entertainment and intelligence to perfection. Between diagrams, lists, detours, staggering images and daring shortcuts, Antoine Defoort slaloms along the edge of a profound and facetious thought experiment. Masterly!
