Critical Design is becoming an increasingly influential discipline; affecting policy and practice in a range of fields. Matt Malpasss book is the first to introduce critical design as a field; providing a history of the discipline; outlining its key influences; theories and approaches; and explaining how critical design can work in practice through a range of contemporary examples. Critical Design moves away from traditional approaches that limit designs role to the production of profitable objects; focusing instead on a practice that is interrogative; discursive and experimental. Using a wide range of examples from contemporary practice; and drawing on interviews with key practitioners; Matt Malpass provides an introduction to critical design practice and a manifesto for how a radical and unorthodox practice might provide design answers in an age of austerity and ecological crisis.
