Abstract

Society is currently undergoing a phase of significant change, due to successive technological advances that have led to the creation of new forms of social interaction, such as remote working, online services, and the creation of more adaptable and inclusive work spaces and equipment. Social Design is one of the areas of knowledge that has started to participate in the changes taking place in society, as it has started to develop projects in a more accessible, sustainable and impartial way based on design principles and methods.

In this study, we used an exploratory methodology with a qualitative approach.

With all this, it was possible to identify more clearly the concept of Social Design, some of the main mentors of the subject, as well as designers and projects existing in the national context.

We can therefore conclude that the area of Social Design has led to development in the field of Design. In the initial phase, at a national and international level, designers' greatest concern was related to the functional and aesthetic aspects of products. Currently, they involve the community in the process, highlight the needs and experiences of end users, and give priority to solutions that have a positive environmental impact, minimizing waste and promoting ecologically correct practices.
