This book calls for initiating a golden age of design and redesign for the 21st century. Humanity stands on the threshold of a new era that calls for nothing less. In this historically unprecedented decade of the 2020s, the trajectory of humanity for the next 50 years will be shaped. It can only be done with completely new guidelines of Planetary Systemic Design that Fathers and Houle set forward. The climate crisis, over population, artificial intelligence, the future of education, cities, transportation, energy, new forms of reality all require that humanity let go of past thinking and inadequate design principles to fully redesign what exists and design anew nothing less than what humanity must do now! This book will trigger a complete transformation of design thinking for our collective future.
“As the president of a pre-eminent art and design college, I have long stated that creativity, design, and design thinking are becoming ever more important in the 21st century. Indeed, I feel these attributes will become the “oil” of the future. This book is a must read because it demonstrates why this is so by showing how design thinking and design are the primary way for humanity to move forward with any chance of fashioning a sustainable and worthy future.
I firmly believe that this book may be one of the most significant books about the importance of design published in this century. With the massive changes and disruptions occurring today, design, creative thinking, and redesign are at the core for humanity to have a prosperous future. That’s why this book is a must read not just for designers but also anyone involved in charting our collective future.”
Dr. Larry R. Thompson, President of Ringling College of Art and Design
‘What would 21C design look like if we actively designed for a living planet for future generations? If we uncoupled the link between design and consumption that is killing all our futures? This fascinating new handbook introduces Planetary Systemic Design and asks you, the reader, to join the debate. The time is now. Read it and act. Our survival might depend on it.
Jane Davidson - author of #futuregen: lessons from a small country and Design Economy 2021 Ambassador
“This book took me to the uncomfortable position of staring at the apocalypse that currently faces society and in particular the role that Design has played in getting us here. I am completely convinced that design has an ever more intriguing role to play in finding solutions to the mess we find ourselves. Although given this past, perhaps designers have no right to be in charge of this process, what I am convinced about and, I am delighted that the authors agree with me, is that curiosity, observation, and playful creative obsession is something many of us lose though education and something we must rediscover if we are to find workable solutions that benefit people and planet. The 2020 is the Golden age of Creative problem solving through play.”
Lawrence (Murf) Murphy: Chief of Global Design GE Healthcare (retired)
“There has been a resounding silence in the field ever since Victor Papanek blew the whistle on design’s blatant complicity in accelerating the environmental crisis and exporting consumerist culture to every corner of the world. David and James are perhaps the first in over fifty years to directly respond to his early warnings, with an entirely revamped identity and purpose to lead us out of the mess we are in.”
Arvind Lodaya: Professor of Design and Innovation Strategist, India
