Conference Hall at Centro Citibanamex Hall D

The talk will focus on how the perception of what “good design” or “valuable design” has changed since the 1950s. Does design need to be expensive or exclusive to be considered valuable? How does the value of design differ from art? What is the value of design exhibitions and how do exhibitions contribute to the practice of design itself? Rob Giampietro is Director of Design at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Mario Ballesteros is Director and Chief Curator at Archivo Diseño y Arquitectura.
