The Design Culture, when is Design. Introduction

language: italian

abstract: When is design, we find those characteristics and values of "design culture" that regard design processes and methods, designers' skills and attitudes. When these necessary preconditions are fulfilled, in many cases it is design. In some other situations, it is just a matter of finding a strategy to light up night dinners under the starry sky. In the Introduction of Ocula 24 we investigate the conditions that favour the emergence of design processes typical of design and of its evolution, up to social design which, by overcoming incremental and inertial innovations, drives radical social innovations.
