Abstract

Not at Your Service: Manifestos for Design brings together the broad spectrum of beliefs, subjects and practices of designers at Zurich University of the Arts. It offers different approaches and insights on the present-day role and impact of design. It is not conceived as a finished project, but as a fluid document of its time. Collaborative design, interaction within complex systems, attention economics, the ecological shift, visual literacy, gender-neutral design, "quick and dirty" design ethnography, social responsibility, the value of ugliness, death futures, immersive technologies, identity and crises, design as a transformative discipline – all of these topics are presented for debate with passion, conviction and professional expertise. Not at Your Service: Manifestos for Design bündelt die unterschiedlichsten Facetten an Überzeugungen, Themen und Praxen von Designerinnen und Designern an der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste. Die Publikation bietet vielfältige Antworten auf die Frage, was Design heute sein und bewirken kann. Kollaboratives Design, Interaktion in komplexen Systemen, die Ökonomie der Aufmerksamkeit, Ökologischer Wandel, Visual Literacy, geschlechterneutrales Design, die schmutzige Praxis der Designethnografie, soziale Verantwortung, der Wert von Hässlichkeit, Death Futures, immersive Technologien, Identität und Krise, Design als Transformationsdisziplin - all dies sind Themen, die in diesem Lesebuch mit Leidenschaft, persönlicher Überzeugung und professioneller Expertise zur Debatte gestellt werden.

Abstract

"Critical Design is becoming an increasingly influential discipline, affecting policy and practice in a range of fields. Matt Malpass's book is the first to introduce critical design as a field, providing a history of the discipline, outlining its key influences, theories and approaches, and explaining how critical design can work in practice through a range of contemporary examples. Critical Design moves away from traditional approaches that limit design's role to the production of profitable objects, focusing instead on a practice that is interrogative, discursive and experimental. Using a wide range of examples from contemporary practice, and drawing on interviews with key practitioners, Matt Malpass provides an introduction to critical design practice and a manifesto for how a radical and unorthodox practice might provide design answers in an age of austerity and ecological crisis"--
