How do architects and designers engage critically with issues of public service, community interests or social change today? Do design representations and forms play a role? Can we identify emerging tactics for more inclusive or participatory forms of practice? This DESIGN ACT seminar invites three young practitioners from different countries to present examples of their work and to discuss their perspectives on such questions.
Traditionally, architecture and design are seen as 'service professions'. On behalf of patrons or clients, architects and designers typically serve the interests of those with money and in power. Underlying critical and participatory approaches to design, however, are questions about which values to represent and who's interests are at stake. There are both historical and contemporary examples that challenge the traditional role of design – operating, instead, to serve and advocate interests that might be overlooked or underrepresented.
