What Design Can’t Do: on Design and Disillusion

What Design Can’t Do: on Design and Disillusion. Reading and talk with Silvio Lorusso. Moderation: Prof. Olia Lialina

Design is broken. Designers are becoming increasingly aware of this. They were told they had the tools to make the world a better place, but instead the world takes its toll on them. In conferences we learn that “with great power comes great responsibility” but, when it comes to reallife clients, all they ask is to “make the logo bigger.” Are you a bit depressed about design? This book might help you understand why. It may also make you laugh.

The lecture is in English.
