A question to all my fellow designers, should designers learn economics? As new roles around civic design are popping up? #civicdesign #designforpolicy #designpedagogy #designer #designeducation #economics
BITS Pilani does it again. This time with an innovation in the #PhD programmes. The question we asked ourselves is, why should all PhD programmes in the country be to produce university #professors? So we devised a new PhD Programme. A #PhD Programme for the #startup track,…
🤷🤷♀️New data: SHRUG 2 is out!! @devdatalab has been working on this for two years, a HUGE update to India’s coolest data platform: 1. Maps of *every* 2011 town and village, with ids 2. All data at every geography (villages, districts, ACs, etc)... devdatalab.org/shrug 🧵1/N
These charts from @pranjulb are interesting: 1) India's services exports have grown rapidly 2) India's share in global IT services exports has steadily grown even as its share in goods exports has stagnated 3) The fastest growing component: professional & management consulting
Read an article that criticises income growth figure because it don't measure inequality. Analysis101: a model cannot be criticised for not measuring what it's not supposed to measure in the first place. It's like chastising Virat Kohli for not taking wickets.
Some designers speculate to create provocative futures. But I like more designers that speculate to make just and sustainable futures.
Everyone is a designer in a big system that designs everyone.
There are not tame problems in design, but there are (irresponsible or naïve) tame ways to approach problems.
Interaction design, experience design, strategic design, systems design, etc. are all attempts to say that designers work beyond the artifact.
Economics is an odd subject. Some parts are precise like geometry or astronomy. Some parts are like the twitter of birds. You have to be trained to make the right sounds to fit in, though the sounds mean nothing. Hence, this is a discipline that harbors great minds & imposters.
“The most important thing for design education is for designers to be _educated_ — not just how to design, but to understand the world in which design functions”: Tony Fry @RSDSymposium #rsd11 If only more design schools would allow or encourage this. One day, when it’s too late
"People who are owned by cats understand complexity, people who own dogs are trying to avoid it." An interesting cypher from @snowded youtu.be/jE8hHUE6-_M
Hasty urbanisation and bad planning over the past three decades was one of the causes of flooding after record rainfall in Bengaluru this month, according to experts. Here's a story by @DevjyotGhoshal and @tweetsfromnivi explaining this, with my graphic on land use in the city.
This update on climate tipping points is one of the scariest papers I've read in a while. The crisis doesn't unfold slowly, linear, and why the 1.5°C goal is so crucial. My analysis Bloomberg @climate w/ @jrockstrom @Ricarda_Climate @PIK_Climate bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
You cannot design outside the average if you don't understand how your perspective shapes your solutions and how other perspectives may offer other, better approaches for you to use.
It’s so disturbing how little coverage there is of what’s happening in Pakistan, from news outlets in the countries most responsible for it. This is what worries me about the focus on place-based localism, and how it further disconnects us from our global responsibilities.
