Many things are designable, but not all. Design festivals in particular like to present design as an ingenious solution for everything, which of course can never exist. Design, like everything else in the world, has its limits. The long arm of designers reaches to many places, but not where nature, technology, or humans elude its grasp. The conference END OF DESIGN discusses aspects of the undesignable.
