Quemuel Arroyo: Design for All?, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Can design cater to a diverse society? How does it respond to the disparate demands of the people
using it? Debates about inclusion and participation have been an important part of the design
discourse since at least the 1980s. Contemporary design approaches expand on the concepts
of Universal Design and Design for All, reinterpreting them in a community-based, participatory
design practice.

Design for All? Inclusive Design Today gathers together a variety of recent projects, initiatives,
and concepts drawn from different design disciplines, and sets up a dialogue with teachers and
researchers who are active on the international scene to discuss them for the first time. Dealing
with a range of different voices in inclusive design strategies can be seen as part of a paradigm
shift that radically questions society's normative values: Can design also make a society fairer?
