Selon une célèbre devise Shadock : « Il vaut mieux pomper même s’il ne se passe rien que risquer qu’il se passe quelque chose de pire en ne pompant pas. » En termes de pédagogie du design, cela pourrait donner : il vaut mieux imaginer/rêver/penser même s’il ne se passe rien que risquer qu’il se passe quelque chose de pire en n’imaginant/ne rêvant/ne pensant pas. Pour inventer. Et pas seulement pour innover. Transformer. Et pas seulement accommoder. Imaginer d’autres pratiques du design, d’autres modes de production, d’autres paramètres d’analyse. Cette imagination, ces rêves, ces pensées sont celles d’étudiants dont les textes publiés dans ce troisième volume .txt témoignent aussi d’une approche critique de notre monde.

Summary:
"Qu’est-ce qu’un designer" est un témoignage ardent et critique destiné à tous les acteurs du design. Loin de se contenter d’une interrogation (ou d’une réponse) bien formulée, Norman Potter énonce les conditions dans lesquelles l’activité de design constitue en elle-même une question ouverte. Il affirme que les décisions du designer – et les artefacts qu’elles produisent – sont tenues de proposer une réponse sur le plan social. Potter décrit également les procédures et la méthodologie indispensables à toute solution de design. Les designers trouveront dans cet ouvrage un portrait vivant de leur profession, ainsi qu’un exposé de références essentielles au mouvement moderne. Les étudiants et les enseignants découvriront une discussion d’une grande richesse, directement issue de l’expérience personnelle de l’auteur. Publié pour la première fois en 1969 en Grande-Bretagne et révisé à trois reprises, "Qu’est-ce qu’un designer" s’adresse aux étudiants et aux professionnels de tous les domaines du design et de l’architecture.

Summary:
After the first EP volume on the activities of the early Italian avant-garde, the second volume in the series identifies the current fascination with fiction across art, design, and architecture. Practitioners and theorists explore this strategy by pushing the debate into both speculative and real-fictitious terrains. Newly commissioned interviews, artist projects, and essays shed light on topics such as parafiction and algorithmic ambiguity. Included in the volume is one of the final interviews to be published with novelist and semiotician Umberto Eco; a conversation with Bruce Sterling, in which the science-fiction author responds to designers who reference his writings; and design theorist Vilém Flusser's 1966 essay ''On Fiction,'' in its first English translation. The EP series fluidly moves between art, design, and architecture, and introduces the notion of the ''extended play'' into publishing, with thematically edited pocket books as median between popular magazines (''single play'') and academic journals (''long play'').

It is a true manual--in format and content--featuring design solutions that expand access to education, food, health care and affordable housing; increase social and economic inclusion; offer improved alternative transportation options, and provide a balanced approach to land use between the built and natural environments. Cooper Hewitt Curator Cynthia E. Smith traveled to post-industrial cities, urban areas impacted by natural disasters, sprawling cities, places of persistent poverty and major metropolitan regions. Her research yielded nearly 400 potential projects from over 30 states and three indigenous nations (Navajo, Lakota, Pueblo).

Summary:
The professional landscape for design in social innovation has reached a critical moment. Designers are now acting as mediators, synthesizers and key contributors of social and environmental challenges at a strategic level. Organizations are recognizing that designers bring a unique set of abilities and methods for developing human-centered artifacts, services, environments and systems. Fueled in part by strong student demand, new graduate and undergraduate programs in social design are emerging across the nation. Graduates from these programs are entering the workforce with expanded skill sets and aspirations about their role(s) as creative individuals. This publication explores the new careers in the emergent field of design for social innovation with contributions from 84 leaders from across disciplines and sectors. These contributors encompass diverse points of view, stories and experiences about key issues, creating a multilayered picture of how this field is being shaped. The book addresses the spectrum of challenges and opportunities for those building careers in design for social innovation, and for the organizations looking to support those careers.

In recent years, strange – ambiguous, dysfunctional, enigmatic, and complicated – objects have emerged in the world of design. These objects are based on an approach that has been called anti-design, radical, conceptual, or critical design – a speculative design that instead of offering solutions raises questions.

In recent years, strange – ambiguous, dysfunctional, enigmatic, and complicated – objects have emerged in the world of design. These objects are based on an approach that has been called anti-design, radical, conceptual, or critical design – a speculative design that instead of offering solutions raises questions. Design that is not subject to the imperatives of the power structures of society, but is instead critical. Via a strategy of modifying objects away from their usual forms and utilitarian functions, this design evokes unusual uses and behaviours. With contributions by Gijs Bakker, Jurgen Bey, Bless, Didier Faustino, Alessandro Mendini, and Ugo La Pietra among others.
