Autorentext
Annie Gentes is associate professor in Information and Communication Sciences at the school of engineering Telecom ParisTech and Head of the Codesign Lab. Her research focuses on contemporary forms of design that emerge in scientific research and society. She analyzes practices such as critical design, ludic design, or universal design to understand their contributions to a theory of design. In particular, she addresses the place of humanities in design activities from an epistemological point of view. She works with artists, designers and engineering scientists to understand both what is common and what is specific in their conceptive activities.
