Since the end of the 20th century, designers have started to contract out from the laws of industrial production and have begun to personally construct the opportunities in which to intervene, designing products and processes charged with a strong narrative vocation capable of telling a complex story even before reacting to a practical function.
Designers are usually considered as problem solvers: but what if, instead of solving problems, they pose them? The author opens a discussion on the role and the emerging strategies of designers in today’s society. She presents historical and contemporary perspectives through design practices committed to provide proposals and solutions to social issues. Her analysis of several case studies results in an approach to design as a narrative medium.
