Mutation and design
The evolution of creative resilience
Abstract
This article explores the concept of mutation in design as an integral part of resilience design, mainly referring to the work of two design pioneers, Bruno Munari and Martino Gamper. Through his rigorous methodology and scientific approach to design, Munari and Gamper, with his experimental and sustainability-oriented style, provide two different but complementary models of how mutation can be interpreted and applied in contemporary design.
