Design for a real world

Published in 1971, published in more than twenty languages, but unavailable in French Since 1974, Design for the Real World has been much more than a classic the history of design, the manifesto book of all political and ecological design. It aims at social inclusion rather than monetary profit, fights against the subjugation of needs to the market, advocates respect for the environment rather than the unlimited exploitation of nature and its resources. This critical reissue of the French translation, accompanied by essays by Alison J. Clarke and Emanuele Quinz, offer an overview of Victor Papanek's program: entrusting design with a revolutionary mission, which, today more than ever, reveals its astonishing relevance.
