About this book
Design as a political factor
Design affects all social contexts and is therefore intensively instrumentalized both by the politically powerful and their critics. Both functions of design, and their inevitable combination, are presented in this book in precise detail.
Authors from various countries present previously unknown and innovative examples of democratic activities conducted through design. This publication is therefore aimed not only at design professionals but also at the general public of all countries.

Reviews
„Den unterschiedlichen Beiträgen […] liegt dabei eine gemeinsame Auffassung von Design zugrunde: Design dient als Hilfsmittel für sozialen Wandel, wird durch Aktivismus gelebt und erlebbar gemacht. […] Die eingeführte Wortneuschöpfung ‚Desocracy‘ verdeutlicht die Forderung nach einer stärkeren Zusammenarbeit zwischen städtischer und regionaler Planung, nicht-profitorientierten Unternehmen, NGOs und Aktivist:innen.” (Janine Heinz, in Pro Zukunft. Buchmagazim für zukunftweisende Debatten, 2021/4)
„Autorinnen und Autoren aus verschiedenen Ländern stellen bislang nicht bekannte und innovative Beispiele demokratischer Aktivitäten durch das Design dar. Diese Publikation richtet sich deshalb nicht nur an Fachleute des Designs, sondern auch an ein allgemeines Publikum in allen Ländern.”
