DesignInquiry Make/Do

A collection of highly-illustrated essays by designers, critics, curators, and photographers on the theme of MAKE/DO, outcomes from a gathering sponsored by DesignInquiry. The authors consider how design responds to improvisation and constraint, using limitations as opportunities in creative practice. As designed by Maia Wright, 16 individually bound booklets in a slipcase can be re-arranged and read in any as a book MAKE/DO invites improvisation and play. DesignInquiry is a non-profit educational organization devoted to researching design issues in intensive team-based gatherings. An alternative to the design conference, it brings together practitioners from disparate fields to generate new work and ideas around a single topic.
