What Design Can’t Do by Silvio Lorusso

Silvio Lorusso delves into the disillusionment that permeates contemporary design culture, where grand narratives of empowerment clash with the realities of deskilling, ornamental politics, and an increasingly indifferent professional landscape. Drawing from his book What Design Can't Do, he examines how designers navigate a field that has become more of a problem than a solution, offering a critical vocabulary to articulate their frustrations and rethink their role within the chaos. This event is part of the Design Interrupted talk series organized by the Department of Design at Aalto University.
