DESIGN WITHOUT PROJECT
An Awkward Manifesto about Social Change and the Present State of Affairs. (Firsts Notes)

79. A world with the idea of a better future might not be a better world to live in.
110. DP identity was a noun related to “what you are”, DwP is an action“the who you are in the process of becoming”.

  


73. DP battled against uncertainty, DwP expands only in volatile environments.

122. The Modern was ruled by the ideal of perfectibility, but nowadays it has become an unsustainable premise for social action.


80.DP was ruled and transmitted by intentional agents, DwP bends in the cool breeze.

  


158. DP managed the programmed obsolescence of modernity through rehabilitation and restyling but in the here and now DwP dis-habilitates anticipated obsolescence.


98. Perfectibility burns the future, the technoculture of sustainability sits in the cold waiting room.


94. Authority was always the origin of old design projects (DP), DwP has no authors just predators.

  


90. DP political acts were based on matters of fact. DwP politics are about matters of concern.


100. The Design Project (DP) was to coexistence what Design without Project (DwP) has become for survival.


71. DP processes ended up with new forms, while DwP sets up cognitive traps.

  


138. DP was a weapon to control the proletarian workforce, DwP is a device for the re-appropriation of the stolen creativity of the cognitariat.


149. DP used to talk the language of filiation (conception, development) but DwP talks the language of alliance (transversality, contamination, epidemics).


208. The common use of “target” and “strategy” on DP evidences a direct relationship with the imaginary of War. DwP talks the language of trickery and diplomacy (“double agency”, “hidden agendas”, “Trojan Horses”).

  


76. DP aimed to transform the world, DwP wishes to be entirely transformed by it.
