Positive Sum Design

Design is always already everywhere. The built environment, our material culture, and the systems and infrastructures of our modern world are so ubiquitous, and yet so inconspicuous, that design establishes the fundamental conditions of possibility for mutual benefit and cooperation, as well as for conflict and competition. Positive Sum Design is an emerging discourse that begins with a critique of zero-sum bias towards the development of design strategies and practices that foster win-win outcomes. Join us for a discussion about how we might apply Positive Sum Design to building a better world.’
