Feature Discussion 'Before and After Critical Design'
Friday, September 2nd
10.00-18.00h (GMT +1)
on www.designresearchnetwork.org
The term 'Critical Design' appeared some twenty years ago in the design research community as a particular approach to human-machine interaction. Referring to a longer tradition of critical approaches in design and architecture, it was meant to re-establish alternative views on product and interface design, telling stories about human values and behaviour that were thought to be neglected in commercial product development.
Since then, as a method, strategy, or theoretical perspective, it has been widely interpreted, appropriated, adopted, enchanted and criticized by design researchers. In this feature discussion, the participants will debate the role of Critical Design for design and research practice.
The discussion is open to everyone. Please join!
