Abstract or Description

The Pi Studio at Goldsmiths has been exploring designing for social engagement, transformation and change. Its academics have developed teaching on postgraduate Design programmes that apply ideas of a socially engaged design practice. The aim has been to educate designers to critically consider the social dimensions of a range of practice based projects, and to demonstrate the potential of design education in developing these skills. This paper explores the projects that emerged from a number of social design briefs, and reflects on developing approaches for social design. The aim is to share these developments with a wider community interested in the education of socially engaged designers, and the development of a discussion about design’s role within in the University to contribute to a thriving society and culture.
