Hello and welcome!

In the book The Reader (2009), design researcher Ramia Mazé suggests three possible forms of criticality in design:

a critical attitude toward a designer’s own practice.
building of a meta-level or disciplinary discourse.
designers addressing pressing issues in society.

Essays, articles, studies, other documents and links about critical design are welcome.
