To Conclude
This conclusion to the special issue on The Design Turn: Design Studies Beyond Design offers some cautious directions what a project of design studies beyond the remit of the traditional design fields might become in practice. Understanding that such a project will harbor its own frictions and possibilities for contestation, we offer a speculative outlook. Design studies beyond design might then be thought of in terms of institutionalization, a n…
Policy Design or Design for Policy
This paper identifies a deep conceptual divide between the discourses of policy design and design for policy, rooted in their respective disciplinary origins in policy sciences and design studies. This lacuna persists even as efforts are underway to create a shared space for mutual fertilization. To fully grasp the integrative potential of a policy/design discourse, the paper revisits the contributions of two historical “boundary figures”—Horst R…
In Defense of Disciplinary Discomfort
This introductory article for the special issue The Design Turn: Design Studies Beyond Design challenges design studies to develop frameworks that explain design's contemporary ubiquity across diverse fields. As design practices expand, design studies must move beyond traditional boundaries to better understand how design's growth relates to broader social, political, and epistemic transformations. This special issue marks a first step toward a d…
Designing Democracy
Britain has recently emerged as a global leader in public design, a creative approach to governance in which trained designers, civil servants, and citizens collaborate. This article traces the emergence of public design in Britain by returning to third way political thought. Focusing on the long 1990s (the late 1980s to early 2000s), the article shows how left critics articulated a new political epistemology centred on uncertainty and unpredicta…
The Technopolitics of Wicked Problems
Complexity” is ubiquitous in contemporary political commentary, where it is invoked to justify innovative governance programs. However, the term lacks analytic clarity. One way to make sense of it is to construct a genealogy of the notion of “wicked problems,” a concept that highlights the intractability of complex problems and problematizes the technocratic management of complexity. The term wicked problems originated in science planning in post…
Design in government
In recent years, design has appeared in an ever-broadening range of government processes and projects, particularly in cities. What has design become, such that its methods and practices could be applied to urban planning and public administration? And what are the governmental problems that design methods and designers are being mobilized to address? This article answers these questions by tracing the tangled intersections of design, city planni…
