Kurzbeschreibung
Although design has become eminently newsworthy among the general public in our society, there is very little understanding to be found of the values and implications that underlie it. Design generates much heat but little light: we live in a world that has much design consciousness, but little design awareness. Nigel Whiteley analyses design's role and status today, and discusses what our obsession with it tells us about our own culture. "Design for Society" is not an anti-design book; rather, it is an anti-consumerist-design book, in that it reveals what most people would agree are the socially and ecologically unsound values and unsatisfactory implications on which the system of consumerist design is constructed. In so doing, it prepares the ground for a more responsible and just type of design.
Synopsis
In recent years the design industry has boomed, and has helped to create today's superficially more "caring" image. Yet the newsworthiness of design, this book argues, conceals an ignorance of the profession's values and ambitions - even among designers themselves. The author analyzes design's role within the consumer society and discusses what our obsession with it tells us about the present state of our own culture. The book is not anti-design, but rather anti-consumerist, in that it sets out to expose what many people would agree are the socially and ecologically unsound values on which the system of consumerist design is contructed. Whiteley reviews the implications for design of the Green movement, the growing impact of feminism, and the ideas of "socially responsible" designers. In doing so he prepares the ground for a more self-aware and just development of design.
