DESIGN TROUBLE: HOW TO DESIGN FOR A SOCIETY THAT MOVES BEYOND GENDER -A DISSERTATION
As part of my dissertation, I explored the possibility of a genderless society and the designers that challenged the notion of gender in their practices. From the anthropoligists and genetists that questioned the existence of only two genders to the technological utopia of genderless AI.
The result was an unfoldable booklet, that starts as a binary, two-page, layout and unfolds to become an 8 meter long spectrum of pages, where the conclusion can only been read if all the spreads are open.
The symbol of the cover was designed by distorting letters from the title’s typeface, to create an armonic mix of soft curves and pointed edges, representations of male and female.
The title Design Trouble wants to be a direct play of words of another famous title in the field of gender studies, Gender Trouble, by Judith Butler.
