Victor Papanek takes a radically user-centred approach to design, with a very strong emphasis on social and ecological consciousness. All his questions are very fundamental, essentially he bases his design judgements on political criteria. What does this object do? Who is it for? What is it made of? And do the answers to these questions have any social consequences for the rest of society?
