Friedrich von Borries. Politics of Design. Design of Politics.

In a series of interventions, von Borries puts design into a political context – connected with the question, in which sort of world do we want to live in, and how we can shape it?

Architect, designer, and design theorist Friedrich von Borries reveals in a series of interactions with and interventions in The Design Museum the extent to which design entails a political element.

He points out with regard to “Politics of Design” that design objects also have always come about in a political context and that in many cases there was a sociopolitical intention behind their development.

The focus on the objects will be contrasted with the “Design of Politics,” which explores the possibilities of design shaping and changing politics.
