“This book is a must-read for anyone with an interest in the future of design. It provides an insightful and hands-on discussion of design as a profoundly human activity and challenges us all to use design to transform the world for the better. The book explains how and why the design industry lost its way and how to re-ignite the idealism that once made it a force for good.
Make the World a Better Place presents a set of moral principles, based on our shared humanity, that can be used to create “good” designs: designs that reduce harm, increase well-being, advance knowledge, promote equality, address injustice, and build supportive, compassionate relationships and communities.
Dr. Kozma applies philosophy, psychology, sociology, and history to the world of design, including examples and case studies of designs, both good and bad. He also presents seven principles of good design, based on the impact designs have on people. An approach to design as a “moral dialog among co-creators,” in which the seven principles can be applied to intentionally improve the world, is also discussed.
A person-resource-activity model is also explored, which explains how technology shapes designs. Detailed analyses of the strengths and pitfalls of different design approaches are provided, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the future of design.”
