Matt Malpass's 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 design's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Visual Arts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45034308042903,"sku":"9781350125179","price":2518.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781350125179.webp?v=1769210459","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/critical-design-in-context-history-theory-and-practice-9781350125179","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
