Description
The New Design Museum brings together theories and voices from leading international institutions and independent initiatives addressing the transformed--and continually transforming--nature of design in the 21st century and its planetary scope in both practical and discursive dimensions. By mapping a new landscape of institutional practices across different geographical locations, this volume reveals how spaces of culture dedicated to design need transformation-of their missions, programs, and outreach platforms-to respond to an ever-expanding outlook on design as a field that is moving beyond its traditional presentation as an object-based practice.
The book integrates essays by Beatrice Leanza, 15 interviews with directors and programmers-such as Carson Chan (MoMA, New York), Ikko Yokoyama (M+ Museum, Hong Kong), Aric Chen (Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam), Giovanna Borasi (Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal), and Lucia Pietroiusti (Serpentine Gallery, London)-and 17 case studies that encompass independent organizations and platforms offering evidence of the changing paradigms of public and professional engagement with the discipline of design. The World Around (Brooklyn, NY), African Futures Institute (Accra, Ghana), Cultures of Assembly (Luxembourg), Loudreaders, Instituto A Gente Transforma (São Paolo, Brazil) and Fundación Organizmo (Colombia), and others explore global design practices invested in decolonizing and queering agency, as well as computational, ecological, and Indigenous knowledge, and present alternative educational and collaborative frameworks of institutional development.
