The first book-length introduction to Design for Values, written by Delft Design for Values researchers Jeroen van den Hoven, Ibo van de Poel and Pieter Vermaas. Building on thirty years of research, the book presents a systematic methodology for translating moral and public values, such as sustainability and justice, into concrete design requirements.
It discusses how to deal with moral overload, value conflicts and stakeholder disagreement, and illustrates the approach with case studies across digital and physical technologies. The book is structured for use in master courses, PhD seminars and professional education for engineers, designers and policy makers.
