Ida Engholm is a professor at the Royal Danish Academy, School of Design.
'The book is driven by a strong ethical agenda regarding design’s
responsibility and role in social development. [...] Engholm’s book
is a lengthy defence of design thinking and design methods’
particular relevance in addressing hypercomplex sustainability
challenges.[...] To me, the strength of the book thus lies in its
precise identification of the way the Anthropocene and the
development of the concept of design raise fundamental questions
about design’s role and responsibility, and one can only have
respect for the impressive amount of knowledge that is synthesized
in the book and the author’s willingness to think about it in
relation to practice. With the inclusion of critical and
speculative design, Engholm shows in the book how the Anthropocene
opens a space of possible futures that demand democratic debate
through collaborative processes, but which are increasingly limited
by the consequences of our choices for the environment we ourselves
create.'

Change is everywhere and change is apparent in our time. The world
is going through faster cycles of change than ever. The uncertainty
levels are exploding and the horizons for classic planning are
shrinking. Ida Engholm has written a book about how design fits
into this new reality. She brilliantly shows us patterns, red
threads and clues for bringing clarity and vision through design.
Her astonishing overview across the field of idea history,
philosophy and design academics are mixed with actual, practical
models and examples. I can highly recommend this book to leaders
and designers across the world who wonder how we can make the field
of design a key strategic pillar in adopting to the new reality of
this time.
*Michael McKay, Head of Ørsted Design Center of Excellence, former
Head of Global Design, PayPal*
Ida Engholm has written a beautiful, insightful and inspirational
book. What more could you ask for? Not only is this a significant
design book, but it is also a striking and hugely motivational
leadership book. Design for the New World offers one of the
most compelling messages about how we can and how we must design,
to achieve a new, sustainable and more just world.
*Steen Hildebrandt, Professor Emeritus of management studies at
University of Aarhus and and associate professor at Copenhagen
Business School*
This epic book offers a paradigm-shifting solid and tangible guide
to all interested in being part designing a flourishing, thriving,
regenerative world that aligns with the design principles of our
magnificent planet. It gives the reader plenty of delicious
nutrients to be able to design and dream into existence radical new
design-thinking, doing and being. This book is truly a
ground-breaking design guide that I deeply hope will be embedded in
curriculums all over the world. It has to if we want to stand a
chance.

Leader and co-author of Regenerative Leadership*
A new dimension of design that emphasizes environmental and climate
concerns has emerged. Design practice and design thinking are no
longer operated in silos but closely connected to sustaining the
planet we live in. Ida Engholm’s Design for the New
World is one of the first design theory books that presents
aholistic perspective of design and design thinking. This inspiring
book demonstrates the focus of design being shifted from products
to the planet – the greater whole that involves not only the
environment but also the core values of being human in the complex
world.
*Dr. Nithikul Nimkulrat, Associate professor and acting chair
material art and Design, Canada*
'Engholm (Royal Danish Academy, School of Design) theorizes the
book as a manifesto, witness her proclivity to promote a radical
change in the way people live, design, and think about their space
and place in the world. She thinks of design not as an
individualistic work but in terms of the world at large. Each of
the book's six chapters relies on different models and prototypes
to define and reconsider sustainable practices. These can be made
manifest if designers focus on the informed and transformative
practices the author highlights. This book is a call to arms to
question assumptions, heed past wisdom, and respond to the
environmental crises of the present time.'
