Design is difference

20 Years of agldeas

This book is a celebration of the world of design and its differences and the differences design can make to the world. It showcases more than 2000 works by nearly 400 creative leaders from around the globe who have presented at agldeas International Design Week throughout its 20 year history. The content represents not only the diverse areas of the creative industry but also designers from diverse nationalities. A common connecting point for them all is the contribution they have made to championing design through their inspirational presentations at agldeas.

agldeas is one of the largest and most prestigious creative events in the world, organised and presented by the Design Foundation and held annually in Melbourne Australia.

The Design Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation founded by Ken Cato and run by a board of directors. agldeas International Design Week is conducted annually by the Design Foundation under the auspices of Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) and with the support of its esteemed members.
