The Auto-Ethnographic Turn in Design' is emerging from a growing recognition of design's capacity to make sense of one's world while at the same time to express and convey this personal insight or knowledge through rich, layered, and ultimately meaningful processes or objects. Auto-ethnographic design seeks to come to terms with one's context and self - as well as the materiality that mediates these two. In doing so, it offers a vision of design that is free of commercial commissions, assumed users' needs, or well-intentioned do-goodism, and reveals a sincerity and genuine commitment in the process of design that is too often missing. The book is divided between "Ideas and Dialogues" (reflections and conversations between critics, theorists, educators, and practitioners), which ground conceptions of auto-ethnography and the 'self' and explore how experiences can be relevant and meaningful starting points for design and visual art; and "Projects and Practices" which embody auto-ethnographic qualities - whereby design objects and practices are embedded with personal sentiments, experiences, desires, fears, and more.

During the pandemic, 45 people were invited to take part in a 'serious game': each participant selected the image of a personal object of fascination, out of which a shape was extracted, redrawn, scaled and sent to a CNC machine to be cut out of a 5 mm thick aluminium sheet and become a low table. Each table is here presented through the original image that generated it, the selected contour, a text by its author and photographs of the prototype taken by Maxime Delvaux and printed in silver. Objects of Fascination explores digital technology and craftsmanship through found forms. It can be seen as a collection of personal worldviews by an emerging generation of architects, as much as an attempt to give a physical form to the multiplicity of our collective cultural background. Published in collaboration with Architecture Curating Practice.

What is the purpose of design and architecture? How can designers forge a more sustainable path? Why must we all demand better? The Green Imperative is an urgent call to arms to consider the impact our choices have on the environment before it’s too late. Based on decades of experience as a designer and educator, Victor Papanek makes a compelling case for more meaningful design at a human scale, using examples from packaging to parking lots, playing cards to playgrounds. This means designing for the long term, using less and re-using more, and sharing resources. By busting the ‘bigger is better’ myth and challenging the idea of design progress, Papanek guides us all – designers, architects and, crucially, consumers – towards a greener future. His clear prose is as passionate about the possibility for change as it is insightful and instructive.
