More on the event lead
John Wood (b. 1945) is Emeritus Professor of Design at Goldsmiths College, University of London. From the mid-1970s onward he created several solar energy devices and published on a range of environmental topics. As Deputy Head of the Fine Art Department at Goldsmiths (1978-1988) he taught many well known YBAs ('Young British Artists'), later launching the first undergraduate (1989) and postgraduate design degrees (1995). These were unusual at the time for making ethical and environmental issues central to its teaching. These programmes subsequently became the basis for today's design department. His (AHRC and EPSRC funded) research into metadesign (2005-2009) led to the setting up of The Metadesign Research Centre (Swansea University) and many publications including Metadesigning Designing in the Anthropocene.
