What Design Can’t Do – Book Launch with Silvio Lorusso

“Design is broken. Young and not-so-young designers are becoming increasingly aware of this. Many feel impotent: they were told they had the tools to make the world a better place, but instead the world takes its toll on them.”

​Whether or not you’re a designer, the world is full of false promises and is absolutely taking its toll. What can we do about it? Anything?

​Author, artist, and designer Silvio Lorusso joins WR’s Kaitlyn Davies in-store for a discussion on and celebration of What Design Can’t Do: Essays on Design and Disillusion, published by Set Margins’.

​Silvio Lorusso is a writer, artist and designer based in Lisbon, Portugal. He published Entreprecariat (Onomatopee) in 2019 and What Design Can’t Do (Set Margins’) in 2023. Lorusso is an assistant professor at the Lusófona University in Lisbon and a tutor at the Information Design department of Design Academy Eindhoven. He holds a Ph.D. in Design Sciences from the Iuav University of Venice.

​​

​​The shop will be open from 18h, with the discussion starting promptly at 18:30h.
