Social design

Social design covers a range between products and services, creating to change society and build a better world. SocialDesignSite.com bears the slogan ‘We cannot not change the world’. Doesn’t that say enough? Design is a collective and collaborative responsibility, which has a solution-seeking aesthetic that goes beyond beauty. If it regards every situation to be possibly designed, openness is an evolutionary asset of its mission and copying an obligation of all its participants. It’s a different proposition than the average CSR.
