Famous architects and designers will converge on the University of Michigan next week for the university's Future of Design conference on Oct. 9-10.

About 30 people who dabble in design in one way or another will talk about where design is heading in the near and long term at U-M's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Participants will include architects, landscape architects and designers in the interactive, industrial and interior industries.

Attendees making presentations include the dean of Princeton's School of Architecture, managing director of Goldman Sachs, along with the editor and chief of Architect Magazine and Metropolis.

The event is free and open to the public. The 15-minutes presentations will be recorded and put on YouTube as of Oct. 19. For information, click here.
