More about the book
This collection illustrates how design can energize public spaces and foster democratic engagement through meaningful dialogue and participation. While "design thinking" focuses on creating solutions post-research, interrogative design aims to activate the public sphere by generating questions that enrich discourse. This approach, rooted in Krzysztof Wodiczko's 1990s public art initiatives documented in Critical Vehicles, is further explored in this volume. Ian Wojtowicz presents new writings from Wodiczko alongside contributions from a diverse array of influential practitioners, including Rosalyn Deutsche and Antoni Muntadas. The book emphasizes the relevance of interrogative design in today's context, highlighting the urgent need for work that stimulates thoughtful discussion. It serves as both a comprehensive collection on the legacy of interrogative design and a practical resource for students and practitioners alike. Contributors include notable figures such as Dora Apel, Dan Borelli, Harrell Fletcher, and many others, collectively showcasing the dynamic nature of interrogative design and its potential techniques for engaging the public.
