How do we describe, practise and educate for design in a rapidly changing world? What are the consequences of deep time designing? This keynote considers a history of design beyond the conventional paradigm of the 250 years of western Industrial Revolution and the concomitant design theories that have tended to dominated design historical discourse. It brings into question the origins and futures of social and ethical design practice in the context of deeop time thinking.
