Design as Inquiry: Critical Design in Tourism

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of critical design and extends key notions from the critical design tradition to tourism design. Critical design opposes design’s naturalised association with the creation of viable and profitable artefacts or services, and instead emphasises how design can be used as a means for crafting questions and doing social critique. By proving examples and detailing a number of key characteristics of the critical design approach, the chapter suggests research opportunities associated with the turn towards design as a form of inquiry.
