Publisher Description:

Designers around the world are carving out opportunities for new kinds of engagement, new kinds of collaboration, new kinds of design outcomes, and new kinds of practice; overturning the inherited assumptions of the design professions. Seventeen conversations with practitioners from the fields of architecture, policy, activism, design, education, research, history, community engagement and more, each representing an emergent role for designers to occupy. Whether the civic entrepreneur, the double agent, or the strategic designer, this book offers a diverse spectrum of approaches to design, each offering a potential future for architectural practice.
