Project description

Ecological crisis, social injustice, political instability - Who Cares? Designers know about the shapeability of their environment and address phenomena and problems in their designs. But how far does this responsibility extend - how far can, should or must designers take ethical or political goals into account?

The design ethics code is the result of the science module "Who Cares - ethical and political implications of design". Participants of the seminar discussed basic positions of design ethics and, on this basis, formulated their own code for ethical design.
