Author: Octavi Rofes
In 2012, Octavi Rofes created an acclaimed manifesto that foretold the death of the project as an escape route from the banality of contemporary design. In this book, he rereads his manifesto after a decade of never-ending crises and brings it up to date, going beyond the project to propose alternative forms of practice for today’s world of design. 'Design without Project' is a record of a convulsive month in history, a theory of cultural practices and a series of notes on design criticism.Design without Project is many things at once. It celebrates the kind of design that eschews the newest banalities: the excesses of techno optimism and dystopian futurology, the shareability of Instagram content, the gimmickry of growing mushrooms. DwP is an artifact of unknown and unexplored possibilities.
ISBN 9788875709754. Edizioni Corraini. pb. 214 pages. 11 x 18 cm.
