Designing Future Communities 2
Social design is a practice that addresses social issues through artistic creation. It seeks to enhance the aesthetic quality of everyday life, prioritizing social impact over economic gain. Awareness of social design has grown since the second half of the 20th century, driven by a growing emphasis on the social responsibility of designers.
