Why Design? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDesign\u201d has taken on the role of a universal solution to any problem\u2014the power of design to create innovation and develop new industries has been eclipsed perhaps by only the conceit that design can save the world from the ills that innovation  has created. \u201cDesign thinking\u201d proposes a world where design is a frame for understanding the world through the eye of a designer and, in this mode, creating  a better one. Lost in all this is what design is for, who should do design, and why  design matters. We ask: \u201cwhy design?\u201d not to question the value of design and its practices, but instead to prompt reflection on the role and power that design has\u2014 and may not have.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In uncertain times, the relevance of design can be easily questioned. Geopolitical instability, anthropogenic climate change, and biodiversity crises may signal that the role of design is limited\u2014or possibly causal. Still, design remains fundamentally optimistic. Core to design is the idea that by making something, we can change the  world for the better, and it contains the belief that this is possible. At the same time,  this can be argued to be a productivist understanding of progress that renders a  one-dimensional interpretation of how current challenges can be responded to via design. To be able to \u2018move\u2019 on requires design to respond differently to matter better in times of crisis.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
