Book launch ‘What Design Can’t Do’

Join us on Saturday 18 November for the launch of new book by Silvio Lorusso entitled What Design Can’t Do, followed by a discussion with Silvio and Rotterdam based collective Extra-Practice and Clara Balaguer.

Design is broken. Young and not-so-young designers are becoming increasingly aware of this. Many feel impotent: they were told they had the tools to make the world a better place, but instead the world takes its toll on them. This book probes the disillusionment that permeates design. To depict this disheartening crisis, he crafts a new critical vocabulary for readers to build upon.

There will also be delicious tajines by De Duurzame Wereldkeuken available after the book launch, as the opening of Occult Economics begins.
