Text: What Design Can't Do by Silvio Lorusso

Guides: Flip & Genevieve

Place: High Line

Silvio Lorusso's book meets the disillusionment of designers head-on. Design's apparent complicity in the problems (social, ecological, political) it once aspired to solve leads Lorusso to propose that design is a discipline for "inhabiting chaos," rather than for imposing order. Can flipping our notion of design on its head help us design a world for human flourishing? 
We'll practice attention to the failings of design-as-order, and to the possibilities of design-as-chaos. And what better place to do so than along the design world's 21st-century darling: the High Line?
