Similarly, co-design tends to be described as a democratic mode of creativity that is somehow beyond reproach. But is change a virtue in itself, and do participatory practices always produce socially beneficial outcomes?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuch questions are becoming more pressing as co-design has emerged as a dominant practice in planning and urban design, while also informing corporate management and public administration. In this book, Otto von Busch and Karl Palmås suggest that designers tend to overemphasize the place of ideals in design, leaving them ill-equipped to deal with a social world of power-wielding and zero-sum games. Seeking to reorient the concerns of the Scandinavian tradition of participatory design, they suggest that co-design processes are rife with betrayals, decay, and corruption, and that designerly empathy has morphed into a new form of cunning statecraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn putting forward \u003ci\u003eRealdesign\u003c\/i\u003e as an alternative conception of design practice, von Busch and Palmås ask: What hard lessons about the social must today's designers learn from realists like Machiavelli?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOtto von Busch\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Integrated Design at Parsons School of Design, The New School, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKarl Palmås\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457123107069,"sku":"9781032250014","price":92.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/RWxrV1Y3aFhLN0o0TjZrOTZHd2pkUT09.webp?v=1777234331","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/the-corruption-of-co-design-political-and-social-conflicts-in-participatory-design-thinking-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
