Discomfort, Queer, and Wild

Abstract

This article proposes a critical discourse around the notions of sustainability, beauty, and togetherness in the field of design thinking by placing them in a field defined by terms such as discomfort, queer and wild. One can, given the uncertainty of the current operating and living conditions, adopt a wild meaning, queer in the sense of a search for perverse beauty, a rejection of sustainability, situating design thinking outside its patina of objectivity, positivity, and transparency, seasoned with the omnipotence of the universal.
