澳洲代写assignment:设计活动 Design activists

‘Design activists’ are contemporary designers who undertake projects based on their ethical concerns and a sense of social responsibility. The objects, communications, spaces and systems that they design, improve lives and benefit communities and the environment. Explore three recent projects in a design discipline (your own if you are a designer) and explain how these examples of design activism have led to effective responses to one or more contemporary social problems. (This could be a problem such as homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, youth unemployment, etc. Please note: The focus of this question should be on a social issue. If you wish to focus on sustainability, see question 8.)
