#ethical commitment

‘It is argued that the key challenge that the designer faces in such situations is ethical in character. Not because designers are considered to be the ultimate arbiters of good or bad; rather, since the focus of research has moved from the nature of objects to the behaviour of people, it is suggested that the design for use  has become the design of use. 

The intention, therefore, is to question what conditions govern the way in which designers can operate in the emerging systemic paradigm of design, making, and provision.’
