“This book is a must read for all with an interest in the future
of design.” —Jim Spohrer, PhD, Retired Industry executive,
International Society of Service Innovation Professionals “The
world is in need of better design, and Kozma’s book shows us how
to get there.” —Mark Guzdial, Director, Program in Computing
for the Arts and Sciences, College of Literature, Science, and the
Arts, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,
College of Engineering, University of Michigan Design services,
products, experiences, and places that transform the world for the
better Make the World a Better Place: Design with Passion, Purpose,
and Values presents an insightful and hands-on discussion of design
as a profoundly human activity and challenges us all to use design
to transform the world for the better. The book explains how and
why the design industry lost its way, and how to re-ignite the
idealism that once made it a force for good. Make the World a
Better Place describes a set of moral principles, based on our
shared humanity, that can be used to create “good” designs:
designs that reduce harm, increase well-being, advance knowledge,
promote equality, address injustice, and build supportive,
compassionate relationships and communities. Dr. Kozma applies
philosophy, psychology, sociology, and history to the world of
design, including: Examples and case studies of designs—both good
and bad Seven principles of good design, based on the impact
designs have on people An approach to design as a “moral dialog
among co-creators,” in which the seven principles can be applied
to intentionally improve the world Comprehensive explorations of a
person-resource-activity model that explains how technology shapes
designs Detailed analyses of the strengths and pitfalls of five
design traditions, which include the scientific,
technical-analytic, human-centered, aesthetic, and social movement
traditions
