Potentiality: the ethical foundation of design (2017)
Journal Article
Buwert, P. (2017). Potentiality: the ethical foundation of design. Design Journal, 20(sup1), S4459-S4467. https://doi.org/10.1080/14606925.2017.1352942

This paper presents the argument that design is by nature an activity which extends and transforms potentiality and that therefore, because of this, it is always an ethical activity. This foundational ethicality does not guarantee that design will al... Read More about Potentiality: the ethical foundation of design.
