Vers un design endémique : Pratiques situées engagées

Vers un design endémique : Pratiques situées engagées (“Towards an Endemic Design: Situated and Committed Practices”) is a thesis written and designed by me, Arthur Polti, as part of the Master in Social & Ethical Design at the Campus Fonderie de l’Image.

It explores the figure of the endemic designer, an approach that could help reconcile living beings with their environment confronted to current ecological and social challenges. The endemic designer is characterized by their ability to become rooted in a territory, taking into account its local dynamics and valuing the knowledge and resources of its surroundings. By relying on related practices such as farmer design, social co-design, and in-situ design, these approaches also help to define the practice of endemic design, offering sustainable solutions adapted to local realities.
