Design Futures

Arguably, the first MA programme (1995) to introduce deep ethical and ecological perspectives into the design agenda.
It followed a similar BA(Hons) Design degree (1988) at Goldsmiths University of London.
It invites students to question and to challenge the status, role, purpose, agenda, and effectiveness of design.
It helps them to reconcile their professional aspirations with their responsibilities as a designer.
In inviting them to think beyond her specialist skills and assumptions it also invites them to think as an entrepreneur.
In 1999 Tony Fry wrote A New Design Philosophy, A introduction to De-futuring,
In it he shows how corporate design deliberately create obselescence through design.
He is currently writing a book called 'Design Futuring'
