dpp collection four
|
This collection explores today’s biggest challenge: how
to make the shift from unsustainability – the dominant condition – to sustainment, as an ethos, a culture
and an economy.
Authors Tony Fry, Ziauddin Sardar, Eli Blevis, Carleton Christensen, Philippe d’Anjou, Susan Stewart and Jacqueline Lorber-Kasunic discuss why design is so important for this shift to occur.
As designers, educators and activists, they bring a range of philosophical ideas (from e.g., Aristotle, existentialism, pragmatism) to issues like: ‘consumer guilt’; products versus services; the designed-in wastefulness of digital artifacts; and design reconceptualised as ‘redirective practice’.
The essays, previously published online, are recontextualised with a new introduction by Anne-Marie Willis.
