Author Description

Bigger and better than ever before, What Design Can Do enters its fifth year with a bright future full of fresh initiatives in store. Plans for a similar event in Brazil are at an advanced stage. And with the WDCD Challenge, WDCD is not only showcasing responsible design, but also making it happen. In addition to looking forward, the fifth anniversary is a moment to pause and look back on achievements so far. A selection of works - 31 projects to be exact, each presented with images, an explanatory text, and a brief biography of the maker - has been gathered into this celebratory publication '31 Brilliant Ideas For a Better World'. The book paints a picture of the variety of 'What Design Can Do!'. It’s also an encyclopedia of ideas, highlighting where today’s vanguard designers are taking their profession as they work to solve seemingly unsolvable problems.
