Balancing theory and practice
2023
_______________
"design as democracy - balancing theory and practice" is a theoretical examination of the term "design as democracy". The work enters into the discussion about the concepts of democracy and design. Instead of attempting to create a model for "design as democracy", this study rather demonstrates the field of tension in which its realisation is situated. It formulates the idea of democracy as design, which encourages designers to reflect on design processes, enter into conflict and question design decisions. The work does not offer a solution, but it encourages the idea of a continuous process that situates design, today and in the future, where it is effective: In the society. The work was presented as an interactive exhibition.
