Arctic Practices: Design for a Changing World
Design for a Changing World is a polyvocal publication focused on design in the Arctic—a region facing both climate crisis and a legacy of colonialism. The book brings together 46 contributors—designers, artists, educators, researchers, and local residents—who collectively explore and reimagine design practices in the North. By weaving together Indigenous knowledge, lived experience, and scientific perspectives, this volume serves both as a record of current practices and an invitation to envision more just, resilient, and context-aware approaches to design in a rapidly changing world.
The book was edited by Bert De Jonghe and Elise Misao Hunchuck and published by Actar in April 2025. The softcover has 464 pages and measures 15×21.5 cm. For the design, Studio Folder combined ABC Gaisyr for text with Tor grotesk for headlines, footnotes, and maps.
