Description
xA landmark text in design discourse for a world desperately in need of redesign--back in print
What good is design? In a world facing social unrest, political tribalism, and impending ecological doom, Tom s Maldonado poses philosophical inquiries into the role design plays during a moment of crisis and analyzes what "design" might mean as an ever-enlarging compass beyond stylization of specific objects. He discusses how design is both influenced by and central to ecological crisis. Written as a kind of obituary to the Modern movement's wave of failed "concrete utopias," Maldonado combines philosophy, sociology, radical countercultural thought, and the ecological sciences into a polemic that recenters design in the human environment.Author: Tom疽 Maldonado
