The architectural historian and critic Kenneth Frampton ‘never recovered’ from the force of Hannah Arendt’s teaching at The New School in New York. The philosopher Richard J. Bernstein considers her the most perceptive political theorist and observer of ‘dark times’ (a concept which, drawing from Brecht, she made her own). Building on the revival o...

This research proposes a prototyping perspective in design for business model innovation to facilitate disruption. The value of design-led approach for managing innovation has been recognised under the concept of ‘design thinking’. In the research on innovation, the concept of business model innovation has been discussed as business models started...

Back to 2078 Anticipation is a burgeoning aspect of futures studies that seeks to use an attitude to the future to drive present creative actions. As such, it is both resolutely practical and philosophically speculative. We bring this sense of anticipation to considering the future by bringing it into collision with the concept of the contemporary....

If only everything were formed of neat laminar flows, with easy to understand conditions and determinable outcomes: there would be no risk to manage out, messy inconsistencies and uncertainties to disrupt well-laid out plans. Things are not so clear-cut however. Indeed, as scientists, poets and philosophers of science have pointed out it is under c...

The ethics of designing has often been organised according to moral imperatives, and social design not only aligns with such moralities, but perpetuates them without providing a clear critique of the systems to which they adhere. To rid itself of such reactive ideologies, and so to create other conditions for the possibility of its creativity, soci...

This paper will address some design concerns relating to philosopher Étienne Souriau's work Les différents modes d'existence (2009). This has important bearings upon design because, first, this philosophical attitude thinks of designing not as an act of forming objects with identity and meaning, but rather as a process of delivering things that all...

Since Viktor Papanek, at least, the ethics of designing has been organised according to moral imperatives: be authentic not phony, take notice of needs not wants. .. and so on. The social innovation that drives its creative urge from design practices appears not to have strayed far from Papanek's path. To rid itself of such reactive ideologies, and...

‘Beyond their instrumental functions', writes Rivka Oxman in an article about design, creativity and innovation (2013), ‘advanced digital and computational environments are also becoming tools for thinking design’. At the leading edge of creativity and innovation design does not only speculate the plausible, possible or potential, but pragmatically...

Linking scenario thinking and fashion design this paper explores connections to design scenarios, highlighting the role of ephemerality. First, we develop the time issues of fashion design based scenarios from the perspective of the ephemerality of contemporariness. To explore ephemeral transformations in scenario thinking we propose a conceptual f...

An interrogation of the theory and practice of design through the thought of Gilles Deleuze. Whether we are dealing with products or scenarios, packaging or experiences, territories or digital platforms, design is never a thing but a process of change, invention and speculation that always has material, tangible implications that affect behaviours...

This is the third and final paper of a series bringing a philosophical investigation to matters of design and innovation. With the others examining: first, the urges to reconsider innovation from a creative, specifically design, direction [4]; and second, the type of dynamic innovation that may be thus reconsidered [5]; this paper will investigate...

Enough oftaste and mastication. It is time to look beyond the momentary, tasteful consumption ofdesigned objects, in order to make account ofthe various meanings that are generated through their more drawn-out engagements. It seems to us that the discourses around consumption that have abounded in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences in the last 40...
