The Design of Care
Craig Bremner, Paul Anthony Rodgers, Giovanni Innella, Justin Magee · 2025
In navigating the intricate web of social, political, and ecological challenges, care and design emerge as intertwined and powerful forces for transformation. However, both are often constrained by limiting and narrow definitions. In this chapter, we challenge some of these limitations by looking at care as a relational and interconnected act that transcends time, scale, and geography. We explore interconnectedness across humans, non-humans, and all forms of life, challenging conventional boundaries and hierarchies that separate humans from other species. We also explore how care is situated culturally and geographically, and how differences in language shape our understanding of it.
