A visual definition of critical design

“The key aspects that constitute the pathway towards critical design are:

Critical reflection: The importance of critical reflection by the designer and recognition of design’s ideological underpinnings
Perspectives: An alternative design perspective that challenges the status quo and traditional values and positions the designer as author
Processes: Alternative values, combining fiction and reality, that drive the design process
Consequence: The production of critical artefacts as conceptual models that facilitate critical reflection in the reader.”
