Designing Mobilities
I’m currently working on a draft paper for the forthcoming Designing Mobilities workshop which takes place at London South Bank University, 14-15 April, and is organised by Justin Spinney, Suzanne Reimer, and Philip Pinch. The aim of the paper is to consider the importance of packaging design to object mobilities, an area that’s been of interest to me for a number of years. The key focus of this paper is the mysterious world of the packaging materials themselves, such as cardboard inserts, polystyrene moulding, and ‘void fill systems’, including dunnage bags.
