A nine-week course into the mind of food designers working across various disciplines around the world.

ABOUT THE COURSE

Learn about the world of food design from the inside out, through the eyes of different food designers working in artistic, luxury, service and research industries around the world.

This nine week program is aimed at anyone passionate about initiating or advancing their expertise in the expanding field of Food Design. Through an in-depth exploration of Design theories, sensory analysis, Design methodologies and new presentation techniques in the form of online seminars, participants will be shown how to treat food as a medium for artistic expression and communication.

Through the guest speakers's experience and insights, we will address the historical evolution of food aesthetics, current trends in Food Design and the application of this new discipline as a career related to the world of events, arts, brand communication, luxury, research and more.

All of the speakers participating are industry experts and academic scholars, who are currently developing a Food Design practice as independent professionals or at their own studios, with various focus ranging from Art to Design, innovation, and the future of food. The work of these experts will bring you to envision possibilities for your own speculative work and projects, with an accent on critical thinking and future Design.

During this course you will be inspired by some of the most forward thinking contemporary Food Design practitioners, but also supported to gather personalised insights through reflective learning. We will be using some Food Design Thinking methods from Dr. Francesca Zampollo's methodology for Speculative Food Design which will allow you to integrate the insights generated, into actionable Design moments for the development of personal projects.

Therefore this course is for anyone looking for inspiration on emerging trends and future perspectives for the Food Design discipline, for anyone wanting to integrate a forefront way of looking at food, society, and what is important, and for anyone looking for tools to translate insights into actionable steps for speculative and critical Food Design. This course will ignite and accompany your own creative process to help you formulate Design intentions and perspectives for new innovative concepts.

This course has been created by Fondo Supper Club and moderated by Dr. Francesca Zampollo.
