The philosopher Henk Oosterling gave the fifth Premsela Lecture at the Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam. In Dasein as Design, he discussed design's changing role in everyday life. Must design save the world? Oosterling described a new tendency and ethic he called 'relational design', which is concerned with relationships more than with individuality. He suggested this would be the way to move beyond the problems of excessive consumerism and individualism.
