Design as Future-Making - Bloomsbury 2014

This book brings together leading international designers, scholars, and critics to address ways in which design is shaping the future. The contributors share an understanding of designs as a practice that, with its focus on innovation, is a natural ally of futurity. Ultimately, the choices made by designers are understood here as choices about the kind of world we want to live in. Design as Future-Making locates design in a space of creative and critical reflection, examining the expanding nature of practice in fields such as biomedicine, sustainability, digital crafting, fashion, architecture, urbanism, and design activism. By contextualizing design and its effects within social policy, contributors make the case that design is intrinsically social and deeply political.
