A must-readBy RabidReaderPublic Interest Design Practice Guidebook: SEED Methodology; Case Studies; and Critical Issues introduces the standards and rigor that are needed to build Public Interest Design into a practice that has a major global impact. Included are the fundamentals; a step-by-step methodology and other tools. Groundbreaking is the documentation to lay out the case that “every issue is a design issue†which is supported by an index that covers 90 critical issues addressed by design. This is the third publication by Bryan Bell; and like his first two; this sets a new benchmark. While visionary the lessons are all grounded in real projects. Bell’s first book; Good Deeds Good Design; 2003; proclaimed “Design for the 98% without Architects!†for the first time which has now become the rallying cry for this movement. In 2008; Expanding Architecture: Design as Activism called for designers to be pro-active and Tom Fisher introduced the term Public Interest Design. Lead editor Lisa Abendroth; a communication designer; brings clarity of message to the Public Interest Guidebook that will work for the professional; the student and most importantly the public.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This is a great; go-to guide for Public Interest DesignBy Andrew SturmIf you believe that design solutions are most profound when they build off the expertise and priorities of those most affected by them - then you will appreciate this book.If you are a designer or educator who wants to better understand the practice of Public Interest Design - or a community member who wants to understand what to ask for when working with design professionals - this book is for you.If you have the desire to work with communities who do not often get a say in the way their physical environment is shaped - but you dont know where to begin - start here.
