From emojis to skyscrapers, from chairs to satellites – there is hardly anything today that is not designed. But what makes good design? And what requirements must it meet in terms of ecological change, social upheaval and technological progress?

The exhibition design connects highlights the potential of design from nine different perspectives. Through reflections, examples and expert opinions, it shows what design can achieve and how it shapes our everyday lives.

bayern design is the design centre in the Free State of Bavaria and has the task of imparting knowledge about design and building networks.
