“Design as an Attitude’ explores how designers, professional and otherwise, are responding to the changes of unprecedented speed and scale we face on so many fronts. Some of those designers are addressing the traditional challenge of identifying constructive uses for new technologies, albeit with the added urgency of protecting us from the dangers of ever more complex and powerful innovations. Others are wrestling with the environmental or refugee crises, reinventing dysfunctional areas of health care and social services, or combating inequality, intolerance and injustice.“ (Rawsthorn in frieze14-06-2018). ‘Design as an Attitude’ explores the most dynamic developments in design and tells the stories of design adventurers like Irma Boom, Jing He, Hella Jongerius, and many others.
