Committing to the Political Values of Post-Thing-Centered Designing (Teaching Designers How to Design How to Live Collaboratively)
It is not really true, but to some extent design was, for most of the twentieth century, about making things, things that solved everyday problems and so things that came to fill up our houses and
Failing to Sense the Future
Humans design things to make up for their failings. Despite our pervasive reliance on these products, design remains underappreciated and misunderstood. The process of designing products materializes time by directing users to act in particular ways in relation to certain anticipated futures. However, the process of designing is changing, as designers shift from producing a series of industrial artifacts to the ongoing designing of morphing inter…

However, Design studies is facing challenges from shifts in bo…
