Design for social change, transformation of policies, civic engagement, design thinking, and designing for social impact. What do all these terms mean and why do we say social design when we talk about projects or interventions in public spaces? Notable guests from the field reflected on their own approaches and experiences while working on projects that address or aim to activate social engagement or highlight specific problems which can be solved using social design. And what does it mean to practice social design today as a designer or as an architect?
