from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Public Interest Design is a paradigm in design education, research and practice. It provides an orientation to the common good and the participation of designers and designers on projects to design public interests , to the design in the interest of the community , for the design of public space and for designing to digitally transforming publics at the center.

description

In Germany, this design paradigm was established as an expanded understanding of communication and media design with the establishment of the master's degree in Public Interest Design at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal in the winter semester 2016/2017. The terms social design , social design , socio-design, design activism, co-design and transformation design are closely related to this understanding of design, which is aimed at sociopolitical relevance . In his book The Society of Singularities , published in 2018, the German sociologist Andreas Reckwitz diagnosed a "crisis of the general " since the 1970s and sees the work on universality , generally binding norms and common goods as a new permanent political task.

In the USA, the term public interest design has been used since the 1990s mostly in the context of participatory architectural projects that focus on social and ecological sustainability .

With the Oslo Manifesto in 2016, the Norwegian Foundation Design and Architecture Norway (DOGA) called on designers and architects worldwide to commit themselves in their actions to the 17 goals for sustainable development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 .
