A New Model for Design Creativity

AA Public Programme

How we can shift power structures, socio-economic forces and structural inequalities in society to give us new tools to rethink the world?

The patriarchal hierarchy of our designed environment seeks to dominate nature and those who are weaker. Now with the existential threat of the climate crisis, do we need a different way of designing? An ecological way of thinking means not just disinvestment from the carbon producing economy and de-linking from non ethical supply chains- but also disinvestment from toxic ways of working. It embraces creative, collaborative and participative ways of working with the people and the planet.
