THINKING BEYOND THE FAILED IDEA OF DEVELOPMENT
A review of literature and mapping of design’s intersection with development demonstrates the many ways pioneers such as Buckminster Fuller (in 1969) had already begun to question the siloed mentality of design, the specialization which Fuller believed precludes comprehensive thinking and quashes spontaneity and curiosity (Fuller, 2008). He discusses how these instituted processes lead to myopic worldview and this study argues that not much has changed since his work.
This study argues that solutions will be best conceived from a more responsible and holistic worldview and culturally oriented practice. However, development was not designed to benefit the whole.

Aleš Kralj Thank you or engaging with my question - It may take me time to critically reflect on your answers as I am currently in year 1 of a PhD. May I check that "fitness technology" is different to "finiteness" - just checking that these are two different concepts and not a typo?
I also wanted to ask if you think that economic growth can only be conducted through the system of capitalism or do you think there are other systems in which we can have a sustainable economic growth that does not perpetuate inequalities?
Did you look at my visual map - is there anything you would add to it?
