David Edwards: Creating Things That Matter

David Edwards spoke at the DASER on November 15, 2018. David Edwards, Harvard University Professor, Founder of Le Laboratoire in Paris, France, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, National Academy of Engineering Member; National Academies Keck Futures Initiative (NAKFI) Alumni Every year, Harvard professor David Edwards teaches a wildly popular class entitled “How to Create Things & Have Them Matter” to his nervous students. They are taught to generate, develop and realize breakthrough ideas for social and cultural change. Drawing on his experience in applied mathematics and as a radical innovator in the medical technology field – including inventing inhalable insulin – Professor Edwards hopes to scare his students away from typical ways of thinking about inventing new products and services. CREATING THINGS THAT MATTER: The Art and Science of Innovations That Last (Henry Holt, 2018) is David Edwards’s manifesto. By going through a series of in-depth case-studies ranging from the restaurant world to the Italian renaissance, Edwards argues for a new path that favors an “aesthetic” approach over a commercial one. His three part cycle of creation teaches a sense of discovery that leads to a more lasting impact. DASER (DC Arts Science Evening Rendezvous) is a monthly discussion forum on art and science projects in the national capital region.
