Spotlighting contemporary design and research practitioners who are creatively leveraging their expertise for social change, this book features interviews with fifteen influential design leaders who are at the forefront of their professionâs efforts to confront pressing challenges like housing insecurity, racial and economic inequality, environmental degradation, and architectural waste. Among the interviewees are Dana Cuff, who, as director of cityLAB, is helping to reshape housing policy in California; Joana Dabaj, cofounder of the design charity CatalyticAction, which empowers refugee children from the Syrian civil war to act as âœco-designersâ of playgrounds and public spaces in Lebanon; and Ivi Diamantopoulou and Jaffer Kolb of New York Cityâbased New Affiliates, who repurpose, through lively recontextualization, the architectural byproducts of their cityâs museum exhibitions and building-performance mockups.
