Designing for Society: Products and Services for a Better World

Autor Nynke Tromp, Paul Hekkert
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 dec 2018
Our globalised world is encountering problems on an unprecedented scale. Many of the issues we face as societies extend beyond the borders of our nations. Phenomena such as terrorism, climate change, immigration, cybercrime and poverty can no longer be understood without considering the complex socio-technical systems that support our way of living. It is widely acknowledged that to contend with any of the pressing issues of our time, we have to substantially adapt our lifestyles. To adequately counteract the problems of our time, we need interventions that help us actually adopt the behaviours that lead us toward a more sustainable and ethically just future. In Designing for Society, Nynke Tromp and Paul Hekkert provide a hands-on tool for design professionals and students who wish to use design to counteract social issues. Viewing the artefact as a unique means of facilitating behavioural change to realise social impact, this book goes beyond the current trend of applying design thinking to enhancing public services, and beyond the idea of the designer as a facilitator of localised social change.

Recenzii

Offering a significant analysis of the social implications of design and the range of products and services that stimulate human behavior, this is a valuable addition to the literature on design of all varieties.
Everything that's designed has effects on society, and how we live, and designers have a responsibility to understand this, and design with attention to the impacts their work can have, now and for future generations. In Designing for Society, Nynke Tromp and Paul Hekkert give us a thoughtful and well-informed set of ways of approaching this complex and wide-ranging subject, demonstrating the power of designing products, services, and systems with a focus on social value.
To the large numbers of students and professionals who want to 'do good' and to make a difference in the world, this book offers a wealth of insights and guidelines. The 'society-centred design practice' outlined by the authors is both theoretically exciting and useful in practice.
