Design Anarchy

Design anarchy - "Equal parts memoir, manifesto, scrapbook and revolutionary design manual, Design Anarchy is an urgent call for artists, designers, architects and communicators to re-engage with the world."
Advocating a radical shift in design based around social and environmental responsibility instead of the desire to sell product at the expense of both, design anarchy tries to put forward a new way of thinking for the next generation of designers to adopt. Kalle Lasn pushes a kind of almost anti-design, based around the organisation Adbusters which actively fights against advertising and wants to show true-cost in everything sold to us. It advocates a more transparent form of advertising with less manipulation and more choice. One groups vision of the direction design could and arguably should take.
