Description

The Social Design Reader explores the ways in which design can be a catalyst for social change.

Bringing together key texts of the last fifty years, editor Elizabeth Resnick traces the emergence of the notion of socially responsible design.

This volume represents the authentic voices of the thinkers, writers and designers who are helping to build a ‘canon’ of informed literature which documents the development of the discipline. The Social Design Reader is divided into three parts.

Section 1: Making a Stand includes an introduction to the term ‘social design’ and features papers which explore its historical underpinnings.

Section 2: Creating the Future documents the emergence of social design as a concept, as a nascent field of study, and subsequently as a rapidly developing professional discipline, and Section 3: A Sea Change is made up of papers acknowledging social design as a firmly established practice. Contextualising section introductions are provided to aid readers in understanding the original source material, while summary boxes clearly articulate how each text fits with the larger milieu of social design theory, methods, and practice.
