“Design is a culture and a practice concerning how things ought to be in order to attain desired functions and meanings. It takes place within open-ended co-design processes in which all the involved actors participate in different ways...The role of design experts is to trigger and support these open-ended co-design processes, using their design knowledge to conceive and enhance clear-cut focused design initiatives....
In the 21st century, social innovation will be interwoven with design as both stimulus and objective. That is, it will stimulate design as much as technical innovation did in the 20th century…As a matter of fact, design has all the potentialities to play a major role in triggering and supporting social change and therefore becoming design for social innovation. Today we are at the beginning of this journey and we still need a better understanding of the possibilities, the limits, and the implications of this emerging design mode.”
