CriticAll!
(Un)Professional Everyday Design Criticism Published by Onomatopee Projects.
Edited by Joannette van der Veer. Introduction by Alice Rawsthorn. Interview with Ellen Lupton. A collection of design analyses that denounces elitism in critique How can we encourage more people to become actively aware of and critical about the design of their environments? How can we make the realm of design criticism more inclusive? These were the questions that motivated Onomatopee Projects to launch an open call for (un)professional everyday design criticism. This publication presents a series of essays that were selected from this open call, in which participants were asked to submit a short text that reflects upon an everyday design object, system, environment or construct. The result is a rich and varied collection of essays that provides a refreshing take on design criticism aimed at laymen, professionals and everyone in between. The book features an interview with Ellen Lupton.
