Design professions have traditionally been associated with intervention and action, while social science has long been associated with thought and reflection. Design and social thought are often considered distinct in terms of how theories can be applied in practice.
Design and the Social Imagination brings together the creative, action-oriented sensibility of design with the reflective, analytical capacities of the social sciences to offer models, ideas, and strategies for shaping the future of the world we live in. In a world of global economic inequality, racism, and environmental degradation, designing with an understanding of our social reality is increasingly crucial to our survival. Matthew DelSesto explores current practices and discourses in areas of urban design, design for social innovation, environmental design, co-design, service design, and more, illustrating how thoughtful design can contribute in a more productive way. Drawing on a range of theory and practice from radical social thinkers such as C. Wright Mills, Patrick Geddes, Jane Addams, and W. E. B. Du Bois, his book shows us how design and the social sciences can interact to intervene in the crises we face today.
Design and the Social Imagination offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the intersection of design and social thought, providing readers with the tools and knowledge they need to create a more just, sustainable, and equitable world. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the role of design in shaping the future of society.
