Tromp, Nynke

Designing for society : products and services for a better world / Nynke Tromp and Paul Hekkert. - xiii, 130 pages, 32 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color) ; 25 cm



Building a viable society -- Effect-driven design -- A clash of concerns -- The far-reaching influence of the artefact -- An imperfect world -- Social implication design -- Mapping the social context -- Assessing impact -- Social design in practice.

An insightful and hands-on tool for designers (professionals and students) who wish to use design to counteract social problems. Viewing the artifact as a unique means of facilitating behavioural change to realize social impact, the book goes beyond the current trend of applying design thinking to develop social and public services, and beyond the idea of the designer as a facilitator of social and local change.
