I’m hopeful that we can return to a human-centered design philosophy that works for the many, not just the few-examples of groups doing important work in this space include Dark Matter University, BlackSpace, and the Black Reconstruction Collective.įears: My deepest concerns are that we will continue to give over our agency, professionalism, and freedoms to those entities who shoulder the least amount of responsibility for their action but stand to gain the most financially, like development groups focused on real estate and retail for the wealthiest subsection of the global economy. Hopes: I’m hopeful that we might finally be over our decadeslong obsession with the exquisite object and recognize more of what’s at stake in our design disciplines-cultures, ecologies, systems, networks, and spaces that are all impacted and thus shaped by the design objects we create. ![]() ![]() ![]() Courtesy BlackSpace BlackSpace team at the Weeksville Heritage Center in Brooklyn for the 2019 NOMA conference.
