This collection of thought pieces stems from a workshop in May 2016 at the Villa Vassilieff in Paris, supported by the Global Cities Chair at the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme in Paris.
What are the limits of design in addressing the political and/or when has design not been enough? This question lies at the heart of Designing Politics, an ongoing project at Theatrum Mundi. After three years of organising ideas challenges in cities around the world, Theatrum Mundi gathered a group of architects, academics, artists and activists in May 2016 to reflect on the questions it asks, and the fundamental relationship between design and politics.
