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. Beyond a haze of hype and bold claims lies a barren land of self-doubt and impostor syndrome. This book probes the disillusionment that permeates design. It tackles the deskilling effects provoked by digital semi-automation, the instances of ornamental politics fashioned to please the museum-educational complex, the nebulous promises of design schools. While reviving historical expressions of disenchantment, Silvio Lorusso examines present-day memes and social media rants. To depict this disheartening crisis, he crafts a new critical vocabulary for readers to build upon. What this exposé reveals is both worrying and refreshing: rather than producing a meaningful order, design might be just about inhabiting chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simone Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57507897770315,"sku":"9789083350134","price":225.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/0401\/2363\/files\/9789083350134.jpg?v=1780571082","url":"https:\/\/simonebooks.dk\/products\/what-design-can-t-do-essays-on-design-and-disillusion","provider":"Simone Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
