9.45 Peter Stebbing, Professor, Basic Design:
From Aesthetics and Sustainability to Schesiology
This talk will present a brief view of an aesthetic grammar which Peter proposes has its roots in our organic existence. One product of Peter's in-vestigations and researches which he began in 1984 is the idea of schesiology the study of relations and their consequences which is a simple tool to begin showing us how the world is deeply interconnected.

Applied Art: In and Out of the City
