It's impossible to have "no design." In that sense, social design is always there, but we just don't always do a good job of it. To me, doing it well is about emulating the interactions that are already happening, and making new ones easier. Hi Aneta,

I agree that design is unconscious. It’s impossible to have “no design.” In that sense, social design is always there, but we just don’t always do a good job of it.

To me, doing it well is about emulating the interactions that are already happening, and making new ones easier.

However, social design has a deeper meaning. Social design aims at highlighting different aspects of our social world. Design, in this sense, is any circumstance that is a result of action. This broad definition also implicates that design can be unconscious. It is there whether we are aware of it or not. It is inescapable. Social design, then, is at the same time a great opportunity and a great responsibility because it relies on the choices we make every day. It is the perception of a man-made reality that consequently can only be changed by man. That can be social design and Internet is a tool to spread the change.
