Critical Design is becoming an increasingly influential discipline? affecting policy and practice in a range of fields. Matt Malpass's book is the first to introduce critical design as a field? providing a history of the discipline? outlining its key influences? theories and approaches? and explaining how critical design can work in practice through a range of contemporary examples. Critical Design moves away from traditional approaches that limit design's role to the production of profitable objects? focusing instead on a practice that is interrogative? discursive and experimental. Using a wide range of examples from contemporary practice? and drawing on interviews with key practitioners? Matt Malpass provides an introduction to critical design practice and a manifesto for how a radical and unorthodox practice might provide design answers in an age of austerity and ecological crisis.Paperback | 168 pages156 x 234 x 10.16mm | 294.84g42789Bloomsbury Publishing PLCLondon?
