Design and Crisis
According to design historian Jonathan Woodham, design’s significance increases “in the political agenda and on the world stage” during economic crisis (Woodham 2010). What is then design’s political, social, and environmental impact in times of multiple crises like in the contemporary world? On the one hand, this seminar examines historical examples on how design was employed as political and economic means in situations of crisis during the period of post-war reconstruction and various economic crises. On the other hand, it explores design’s role and capacity in the change of values within society, accessing both design practices that emerged against the background of the environmental crisis in 1970s, and examples of contemporary design addressing topics of the current crises such as the climate emergency, the decline in wealth, and the intensifying social inequality.
