Design and Ethics: Reflections on Practice, edited by Emma Felton, Oksana Zelenko and Suzi Vaughan, is an edited collection examining the ethical dimensions of design practice, including its role in environmental, social and economic sustainability. It argues that design has a transformative role in human experience that goes well beyond stylistic or commercial concerns.
Design and Ethics: Reflections on Practice, edited by Emma Felton, Oksana Zelenko and Suzi Vaughan, brings together contributors examining the ethical responsibilities built into design practice. The collection starts from the premise that design's value increasingly lies in its contribution to environmental, social and economic sustainability, and that this ethical dimension deserves the same attention design has traditionally given to form and function. Its chapters work to redefine the traditional roles of designer and designed object, treating both the design process and the resulting product as embodiments of particular ideas, values and beliefs rather than as neutral, purely functional outcomes, and consider how design can shape human experience and understanding beyond stylistic enhancement.
