Beschreibung:
"Matthew DelSesto provides a compelling blueprint for a design practice that enables us to address the social, political and environmental challenges of today. By combining the creative, action-oriented sensibility of design with the reflective, analytical capacities of the social sciences, DelSesto offers models, ideas and strategies for shaping the future. Drawing on the work of C. Wright Mills, Patrick Geddes, Jane Addams and W. E. B. Du Bois, and exploring professional practices and discourses in a wide range of design fields, this book shows us how design and the social sciences can interact in a more productive way"-- Matthew DelSesto liefert einen überzeugenden Entwurf für eine Designpraxis, die es uns ermöglicht, die sozialen, politischen und ökologischen Herausforderungen von heute anzugehen. Indem er die kreative, handlungsorientierte Sensibilität des Designs mit den reflektierenden, analytischen Fähigkeiten der Sozialwissenschaften verbindet, bietet DelSesto Modelle, Ideen und Strategien für die Gestaltung der Zukunft.
