8. ‘ - The dish’takes an experimental approach to design practice to question the current status
5
quo of our profession. The project consists of a series of events and workshops that took place
in changing urban locations of Helsinki during late 2010, with a focus on the consumption and
production of food. Food is an ephemeral material that satisfies one of the most basic needs
shared by all humans. It reflects local conditions, traditions, culture and social change.
By drawing analogies to past and current movements in the design and art field, ‘ - The Dish’
5
aims to inspire thought amongst creative professionals, students and everybody else about the
way we live, work, and consume – now and in the future.

24. Beuys firmly believed in:
the power of universal human creativity
the potential for art to bring about revolutionary change
the concept of social sculpture, in which society as a whole was to be
regarded as one great work of art (the Wagnerian Gesamtkunstwerk), to
which each person can contribute creatively

26. “Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing
existing situations into preferred ones. The intellectual activity that
produces material artefacts is no different fundamentally from the
one that prescribes remedies for a sick patient or the one that
devises a new sales plan for a company or a social welfare policy for a
state.”
Herbert A. Simon, The Sciences of the Artificial, 1969
27. Co-creation,
according to Sanders’and Stapper’ definition, co-creation
s
refers to “any act of collective creativity, i.e., creativity that is

43. Social design,
as the creation of social reality; design of the social world
as a design process that contributes to improving human
well-being and livelihood (Holm 2006)
material and immaterial products that can address human
problems on broad scale and contribute to social well-being
(Margolin 2002)

52. “Forget design as a territory and practice that can be laid claim to,
stop talking to yourselves, give up on repackaging design within
design, and start talking to other people, other disciplines, broaden
your gaze, engage the complexity of design as a world-shaping
force and help explain it as such.”
Tony Fry, Design Futuring

55. What the **** is a 'wicked problem'? (in Finnish: häijyt)
(Rittel and Webber, 1973)
ill-defined problems
a complex issue that defies complete definition
not possible to solve alone
part of a complex interconnected system
part of the society that generates them, any resolution brings with it
a call for changes in society
opposite of a 'tame problem' that can be tackled with existing
modes of inquiry and decision-making
such as: climate change, social inequality, apathy, war, AIDS, just to
name a few
57. Thackara's 7 frameworks for designing in a complex world:
(In the Bubble, 2005)
- from blueprint and plan to sense and respond
- from high concept to deep context
- from top-down design to seeding side edge effects
- from blank sheets of paper to smart recombination
- from science fiction to social fiction
- from designing for people to designing with us
- from design as project to design as service
