ICSD

International Conference on Social Design 2022

The Future of Social Innovation Design: Design as Strategy

The International Conference on Social Design (ICSD) 2022 is the international version and scope of National Seminar on Social Design (Seminar Nasional Desain Sosial (SNDS)) –2022. SNDS  2022 is the 4th national seminar held by the School of Design (SoD), Pelita Harapan University (UPH), Lippo Village, Karawaci, Tangerang, Banten, West Java together with its 4 Study Programs: Visual Communication Design, Interior Design, Product Design and Architecture (http://snds.uph.edu).

At the SNDS 2021 the theme raised was: ‘Social Design Adaptability – Strategy and Innovation during a Pandemic’, as an effort to see the response and resilience of Social Design during the pandemic, which seemed to have stalled at that time mainly due to the nature of the direct engagement and action of the Social Design. However to our surprise, 105 articles have come in from the academic community of various universities, students and lecturers, social design initiators, government agencies and communities who are concerned with social design discussions in the midst of a pandemic and present various dimensions of adaptive design strategies and innovations in this particular situation. Thus, we can conclude that the role of Social Design within the pandemic situation is crucial in developing a better social situation and empower the communities during this crisis(Katoppo, 2021).

Having seen this enthusiasm, we thought it will be the right time to expand SNDS’s discussion scale and reach in 2022 into the international scope, where we are trying to see the future of Social Design innovation, in which the design moves at its highest level as a strategy (https://issuu.com/dansk_design_center/docs/design-ladder_en). The conference is in partnership with:

  1. Faculty of Creative Industry, Universitas Ciputra, Surabaya.
  2. Architecture Department, Universitas Pembangunan Jaya, Tangerang Selatan;
  3. Faculty of Architecture and Design, Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana, Yogyakarta.
  4. Faculty of Art and Design, Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), Surakarta.
  5. Faculy of Design and Creative Industry, Universitas Esa Unggul, Jakarta.

and supported by:

  1. Product Design, National Institute of Design, India.
  2. Salford School of Arts, Media and Creative Technology, University of Salford, UK.
  3. Monash Art Design and Architecture, Monash University Australia.

In this level, design will move towards an ideal position, namely looking for a theoretically informed practice where design is an action, followed by research through ‘objectification of an experience’ and ‘disciplining of subjectivity’ (Taggart, 2006). It is at this point that design can initiate social innovation (Katoppo, 2019). Hence, this is the theme for our International Conference on Social Design (ICSD) 2022.

The pandemic situation that has been going on for more than 2 years will be the starting point for discussing the future of Social Design as an evalutive studies. ICSD 2022 also invite us to discuss the future of Social Design innovations seen from: Design as a Strategy (as mentioned above), Hybrid Human Centered Design (Katoppo, 2021; Salmons, 2015; IDEO, 2013), and new imaginative possibilities of Social Design innovation in the realm of the 5.0 world of technology that utilizes big data and even creates a digital world with new social order and empowerment (such as Metaverse) to achieved civil society 5.0 (https://www8.cao.go.jp/cstp/english/society5_0/index.html;https://www.japan.go.jp/abenomics/_userdata/abenomics/pdf/society_5.0.pdf): a collaborative and innovative, and sustainable community that uphold social justice (Katoppo, 2017).

ICSD 2022 would like to welcome the new world (post) pandemic through an innovative perspective of Social Design by inviting all initiators, academics and government institutions, stakeholders as well as Social Design innovators to share their thoughts, discuss and continue to develop Social Design discourse as a future empowering design for all!

Professor Diego Ramirez-Lovering

Associate Dean International and Engagement and Director, Informal Cities Lab, Monash University, Australia

Diego is Professor of Architecture and Associate Dean International in the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture at Monash University. His research examines the contributory role that design, and design thinking can play in addressing the significant challenges facing contemporary urban environments – climate change, resource limitations and rapid population growth, with a key focus on the Global South and through a lens of Planetary Health. Diego is the Director of the Informal Cities Lab (ICL), which undertakes design-based research exploring and speculating on the conditions of informality in developing cities. ICL research, designed and conducted in collaboration with government and industry, strives for impact, targeting implementation at the intersection of academic research and international development. The Lab is engaged in a range of projects to advance Planetary Health and social equity and resilience objectives including informal settlement revitalisation projects. An example of this approach, the RISE Project, is trialing a new water sensitive approach to water and sanitation management in 24 informal settlements across 1200 households in Makassar, Indonesia and Suva, Fiji. Another example is the Citarum Transformation Living Lab. This initiative aims to provide the transdisciplinary research environment partnering with the West Java Government, for developing socio-technical solutions to revitalize the severely degraded and polluted Citarum River and its vulnerable communities.
