Description

Commons in Design explores how social cooperation within communities can improve the impact of functional and sustainable design. As resources become scarcer and climate change affects our daily lives, the concept of commoning is gaining importance.

The book examines the meaning and impact of commons, particularly knowledge-based peer commons, and acts of commoning in design. It discusses networked, participatory, and open procedures based on the commons and commoning, testing models that negotiate the use of commons within design processes.

Contributors from diverse backgrounds share their perspectives on designers' positionings, everyday practices, self-understandings, ways of working, and approaches to education. This critical engagement with questions about design and commoning offers valuable insights for those interested in sustainable design and community-based design practices.
