Readings for April 9 Thackara: design in the bubble
Categories: Environmental Art Activism Archive
The thesis of Thackara’s book is that design got us into this mess, design can/must get us out. As you write up your analysis it is important to keep in mind that you are doing so in order to provide an innovation, a redesign. Thackara’s book is addressed to designers trying to reimaging how we might change stuff. This and Molotch’s last chapter are the two overarching guides for directing innovation in manufacturing and products.
