Negotiating Tensions - Designers' responsibilities in democratic entanglements

Om boken

Medverkande: Andrejs Ljunggren

This thesis concerns the roles and responsibilities of designers when we design workshops with democratic ambitions. Reflecting on my experiences from making co-design workshops for citizen participation to support sustainable urban development in municipal planning processes, I inquire into designers’ societal entanglements and explore these from democratic, social, political and designerly perspectives.
