Alice Rawsthorn: Design as an Attitude

Design is one of the most powerful forces in our lives, and has never been more compelling. At a time when so many aspects of daily life are changing at relentless speed on an unprecedented scale, design is a powerful tool to help us to benefit from them, and to avoid their dangers. Public interest in design is soaring as a new generation of designers pursue their social, political, and environmental objectives in increasingly ambitious projects. Conceived as a guide to contemporary design, Alice Rawsthorn’s ‘Design as an Attitude’ demystifies the field by exploring the most dynamic developments in design, and assessing their impact on us now and in the future.
