How design can change the world. Change is the only constant. In 2020 the world experienced a global pandemic, social inequalities, climate change, racial injustices, riots and unrests, and rapid advances of new technologies. Although many fear change, it is the job of designers to create and thrive in such times. To document our present moment, Gjoko Muratovski invited ten highly influential design figures-including iconic design leaders such as Carole Bilson, Karim Rashid, Bruce Mau, Steven Heller, and Don Norman-to reflect on the current state of affairs. By looking to the past and reflecting on the present, these designers project very personal images of the future that they would like to see. The conversations are broad, covering topics as diverse as beauty, race, and gender to design activism and economic resilience.
With societies and economies rapidly shifting in ways that we have never seen before; all our certainties may seem to be sliding away making us feel more vulnerable than ever. Designers play an important part in reshaping a ' new normal' during these challenging times. This book is a testament to how designers innovate and thrive in most circumstances. The perspectives of impressive designers and thought leaders, collected in this book, gives hope for a brighter future as informed by design. -- Lisa Scharoun, Professor and Head of the School of Design, Queensland University of Technology 2020 put everyone on ' pause' , interrupting fast-paced routines that left little time for reflection on forces shaping where design might and should go. Although conducted during a unique year, Muratovski' s interviews reveal an important paradigm shift from industrial to social; physical to intangible; singular to plural; and functional to meaningful. These interviewees are evidence that designers have a voice, asserting through their work visions of a future grounded in consequence rather than consumption. -- Meredith Davis, Professor Emerita, North Carolina State University In Design in the Age of Change, Muratovski has captured highly important insights and ideas from a diverse group of experts for these times of massive change. These viewpoints are valuable now and will be more so in the future as they guide us to find answers to future challenges. This book should be required reading for anyone questioning where the field(s) of design are going and where you will fit in. -- Lorraine Justice, Professor and Dean Emerita of the School of Design
