I was referencing a return to a more user-centered design, as opposed to technology-based design. But let me expand on that thought. Since any design act can potentially lead to innovations, design has the potential capacity to contribute and/or amplify social innovation. In order to investigate on this matter we recently invited, among other renowned guests, Ezio Manzini founder of DESIS-international, an academic network on design for social innovation and sustainability. Additionally, CCSMFA is dedicating one semester to a Community Project. This year the project is dedicated to Detroit. Maria Luisa Rossi, Chair, CCS MFA Design Thanks for your response.

Does that mean design for social change? If so, how does the program work with the city or Detroits people to create positive change?
