Social Design Should Engage

response to  Morgan Clendaniel's post Design 21 Contest Giveaway

Social design, especially the one found in an urban environment, should reflect complexities of a social context in which it exists. This design should include some common human values, present innovative and provocative ideas, and also retain a certain amount of ambiguity and flexibility that would allow it to evolve and exist in future social contexts. Social design should also strive to engage and include, rather than simplify, specialize, and exclude. Although this kind of design would create certain “conflicts”, the final result would actually be socially valuable. The interaction between opposite “interests” would encourage dialog and negotiation, and this process and participation would enable this design to become socially relevant
