design_destruct is a look at industrial design education, straight from the source; it tries to understand the relationship between conscious, radical intentions and the continued embracing of a status quo that upholds and deepens structures of destruction. It focuses on corporate collaborations as a central culprit to this acceptance, and encourages design to be a tool to build a structurally sustainable world, instead of the world as it is (which physically, socially, and environmentally it can’t continue to be). It is a call to action, to question, to reject and to refuse, and to protest.
The knowledge gained — both through and despite the education — is turned against the structures we are taught to fit into, resulting in a collection of designs that use text, typography, space and form to educate and mobilise.
