Undesign brings together leading artists, designers and theorists working at the intersection of art and design. The text focuses on design practices, and conceptual approaches, which challenge the traditional notion that design should emphasise its utility over aesthetic or other non-functional considerations. This publication brings to light emerging practices that consider the social, political and aesthetic potential of "undesigning" our complex designed world. In documenting these new developments, the book highlights the overlaps with science, engineering, biotechnology and hacktivism, which operate at the intersection of art and design.

Industry Reviews

"Reading Undesign will undesign you. These essays collectively confront, challenge and stall the trajectory of design. Resisting the impetus to redefine design, which just perpetuates it as a concept, Undesign effects a pause and opens up the conditions - and imperative - for practitioners, educators, academics and students to re-consider design and the world differently." - Suzie Attiwill, Associate Dean Interior Design, School of Architecture and Urban Design, RMIT University
