Futurist Alvin Toffler is quoted as saying that “illiteracy in the 21st century will not be defined by those who can not read or write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.” This session will attempt to place Toffler’s words within the context of the outdoor design industry to force us to ask the same “what if” question that many industries and organizations face in this ever-changing economy. What if … what we have learned about design from professors and mentors is preventing us from truly transformative design? How would we know? What would we need to do to unlearn and relearn a new set of skills, practices and dispositions that could lead us towards the innovative design we all seek? Join us to explore these questions and more in Unlearning to the Extreme.
