Assemblages of Design Social Design is Responsive Design

This paper argues that responsible designers are responsive to the needs of the community, detailing how social designers can have a global impact through shaping their localities and therefore challenging the neoliberal economy. The author sees co-design — whether it is social, participatory or community design — as an active agent in initiating the urgent social change needed for political equality, environmental justice and community wellbeing.

The Social Design Institute's specially commissioned position papers showcase some of the diverse thinking and innovative practice in social design and design for sustainability that exists across UAL.
