This year's theme is: The Future of Domesticity
Exploring new ways of designing space in order to tackle common problems that many experience in our new urban realities. Working with a small footprint in mind, answering the challenges in a way that combines design knowledge with experience and fun. 
Designregio Kortrijk invites 3 young designers to develop an experimental concept for the Future of Domesticity, through confrontation between citizens, society, entrepreneurs and education in regions such as Kortrijk. The compactness of this region is both a benefit and a challenge. 

During the Kortrijk Creativity Week from 23-27 October 2019 the Designers in Residence Kortrijk will get the opportunity to show their research and on-going progress to the audience.
