WORK AND DESIGN
What are the major changes in work and how do they contribute to the emergence of new practices in the fields of design, image and sign? How do they enable the construction of a new society?
At the dawn of 2020, information and communication systems have reinvented themselves and, with them, uses, needs and behaviors are modified. The world of work is not immune to these socio-economic upheavals, and is also transforming on organizational and relational levels.
In addition to new professions and innovative approaches, there is a quest for meaning, new concepts and dynamic movements such as slowing down working hours, hybrid practices, transversality of methods, fluidity and diversity of content.
The role of Man, within the "work" ecosystem is nourished by new values such as the collective, the collaborative, the autonomy, the commitment to a cause, or even the well-being, mental and physical. The human and his interactions with the different ecosystems that surround him, are at the heart of the current common concerns.
Involved in this phenomenon, designers and image professionals are evolving, reinventing their practices, innovating on models of economy, structure, strategy, or by imagining original contents and media in line with their times. With its capacity for adaptation, design is no longer just a profession, it is also a global, strategic or experimental reflection that allows to stimulate innovation and open up new spaces of creation.
In 224 pages, this second issue of étapes: hors-série looks at the world of work, experienced and imagined by today's designers, and gives some ideas for imagining the world of tomorrow.
