Abstract:
In addressing the theme of design as a catalyst for social change I will specifically look at the role of design-led research. The contemporary issue of sustainability, however ambiguous, is highlighting the need for social change; in particular the need for researching possible futures and inspiring the implementation of effective change. Focusing on research may not seem to be a direct application of social change. However in enabling social research projects across the disciplines to utilise a design-led methodology, I propose, could increase the creative capacity of our society to envisage and implement a sustainable change for the better. This paper explores what such a design-led methodology could look like, how it should work and why it ought to be of significant value. As an example of how this methodology can be operationalised I will outline my community based project in Tumut which engaged participants in a process of designing sustainable wellbeing for their communities’ future. The purpose of this study was to construct a methodology that acts as both design-led research and research-led design to give an approach to researching possible sustainable futures.
