Description
This exceptionally smart, friendly and well-designed volume makes the case for design as a tool to solve some of the world’s biggest social problems in beautiful, sustainable and engaging ways, for citizens in the developing world and in more developed economies alike.
In 2008, with $1000 in savings, a laptop, and an outsized conviction that design can change the world, rising San Francisco-based product designer and activist Emily Pilloton launched Project H Design, a radical nonprofit organisation that supports, inspires and delivers life-improving humanitarian product design.
Featuring more than 100 contemporary design products and systems – safer baby bottles, a high-tech waterless washing machine, low-cost prosthetics for landmine victims, Braille-based Lego-style building blocks for blind children, wheelchairs for rugged conditions, sugarcane charcoal, universal composting systems, DIY footballs – that are as fascinating as they are revolutionary.
