Conference Paper


Expanding the common good

Abstract

Design for the Common Good is a network of networks formed in accordance with the principles of design for the common good. Also, the design work that the platform disseminates and promotes uses methods, processes and practices that are consistent with design for the common good. Structural and systemic barriers are identified that must be overcome in order to make Design for the Common Good sufficiently inclusive, global and accessible. Global opportunities and threats relating to the environment, economy, technology and social progress contain both the problem and solution. Digital advances have the potential to overcome previously insurmountable economic, environmental, social and technological challenges, both to the creation of the platform and the activities of the actors in its networks. However, this must be balanced by a recognition that collaborative community design stems from potent local group actions and that ethical physical and inter-personal experience is fundamental to these endeavours.
