Design is relational, not isolated.

Hi, Kevin here.

Today I wanted to share some thoughts on an interesting topic that popped up in my feeds, a “speculative design workshop” on the topic of “Imagine a world where design has replaced politics”.

Mind the necessary assumptions I have to make in order to explore what the prompt elicits in my mind. I cannot avoid wondering why the prompt seems so weird in its framing, which plays an almost forced opposition, a potential false dilemma if you ask me.

Indeed, the whole question lies in the definitions given to the terms design and politics.
