WHAT DOES IT MEAN, THEN, TO STUDY A PROGRAM CALLED SOCIAL DESIGN?

DO YOU STUDY SOCIAL DESIGN TO BECOME A SOCIAL DESIGNER?

“Man and Humanity is the entire world and much more. At the same time, it also is aprojection to the Third world, of which I – being a Belgian with our Congo trauma - don’t

believe that we can live up to that suggestion from this academy. If we were able tolive up to it, I truly wonder if It would be anything else than a way to get rid of our guilt,

instead of actually trying to solve things.

I choose a less ambitious principle. Social Design is a kind of playground for whicheveryone will have his own definition of course, but it is a work field within which you can

easily define a cluster of definitions and concepts. We’re not planning on healing theworld, but we can change it a little bit. Moving a small rock in the river is a great start”

A CRITICAL DIALOGUE. Interview with Jan Boelen. 2012

FRAME YOUR OWN PRACTICE-DIALOGICAL DESIGN-

“When I speak about dialogical design, I do not only refer to a set of skills or a way of working, but it defines my practice in a broader sense. With this, I mean that the dialogue is not only process, but also result; just not a final result, but a series of temporary results that would always loop back in the process (a conclusion we came up with Jeanne van

Heeswijk during a conversation). This makes my projects a never-ending process of producing, making things public, reflecting and looping back into production. This never-ending process does not lead to “an outcome”, but to an on-going collection of content,

which functions as a radiography of the project in a specific moment”IT IS WHAT IT IS. Master thesis Pablo Calderón Salazar. 2013.

“I think with Manuel you can move forward in great ways, in what you propose to yourselves; he has a great talent and a great attitude to confront challenges, even when

they exceed the onirical parameters… From my point of view, this is the findamental aspect when undertaking any process, having in mind that the result of a good dinner for friends does not depend exclusively on the recipe, but on the disposition and the

generosity to wash the dishes”
