In line with its slogan "Design Anatomy", Budapest Design Week undertaked to present the diversity of relationships between man and man’s built environment. All that does not directly stem from nature around us is a result of a design process. All designed elements rely on the dimensions, proportions and properties of the human body: these are what an interior designer relates to on designing the proportions of an interior, or an UX designer on dreaming up a smartphone app, or a fashion brand on manufacturing sportswear. The function of design is to embody the interaction between the human body and our environment, using the most recent innovation and technology, in order to make it as practical, efficient and aesthetic for man as possible, which means marketability at the same time. In 2016, the series of events during Budapest Design Week mapped the relations of the human body, the surrounding tools, objects and spaces – starting from furniture design to fashion, from UX design to the psychological effect of the environment on the soul, while focusing on the role that design plays in the growth of the economy.
