DEX – Design Experimentation Workshop is INDA’s annual workshop programme for third-year students. Over nine days, students work closely with exceptional practitioners from around the world, exploring new ways of thinking, making, communicating, and experimenting. Every workshop usually begins with a question, and the answers are rarely what anyone expected.
This year’s DEX will take place in Bangkok from 10–18 December under the theme imag[in]e.
Before architecture becomes matter, it exists as an image. Sometimes that image is a drawing, a model or a sentence. Increasingly, it is a prompt. Every technological shift has transformed not only the way images are made, but also the way we see, think and imagine the world. We have never produced so many images, nor questioned them so little.
DEX imag[in]e invites workshop tutors to explore image-making as a way of thinking, framing and imagining the world. Workshops may respond through architecture, film, photography, writing, AI, archives, craft, performance, fabrication, or practices yet to be defined. Together, they will culminate in a collective exhibition where different modes of image-making meet.
