The design has emerged as one of the most powerful forces in the world, something that places us at the beginning of a new period, unprecedented in human possibility. It is a period in which all economies and ecologies are becoming global, relational, and interconnected.

To understand these emerging forces, there is an urgent need to articulate precisely what we are doing to ourselves and what we do to our world. This is the ambition of Massive Change.

Massive Change is a celebration of our global capabilities and also a cautious look at our limitations. Includes both the utopian and dystopian possibilities of this emerging world, where even nature is no longer beyond the reach of our manipulation.

For many of us, design is invisible. We live in a world that is so thoroughly configured by human effort that design has become second nature, ever-present, inevitable, intrinsic.

And now, the power of design to transform and affect every aspect of daily life is gaining widespread public awareness.

No longer associated simply with objects and design aspects. This is increasingly understood in a much broader sense that the human capacity to plan and produce desired results. Massive Change: The Future of Global Design, plotted as a draft international discursive map of the new capacity, power and promise of design.

Massive Change explores paradigm-shifting events, ideas, and people, investigating the capacities and ethical dilemmas of design in manufacturing, transportation, urbanism, war, health, life, energy, markets, materials, image and information. We need to develop a global society that has the ability to direct and control the emerging forces in order to achieve the most positive outcome. We must ask ourselves: Now we can do anything what will we do?

We produce a new breed of change maker - citizens who think as designers. These people would, in the words of inventor and philosopher Buckminster Fuller, a "synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist and evolutionary strategist."
