Bringing a deep historical awareness to bear on the topic, he puts this brief recent phase into perspective. Along the way are sharp remarks on the place of the designer in the social world, on the question of copying and copyright. This realistic view brings high-flown pretensions down to earth, yet puts forward a more solid and enduring vision. Smeijers ends this modest manifesto with a new code of conduct for designers." |
