[M21D]

STUDY COLLECTION

The M21D collection aims to investigate, celebrate, and normalize design with positive social and environmental impacts created after 2000 — and we operate on a generous definition of design. Design happens anytime an entity translates intention into function. Everything from web interfaces to strategies for social activism belongs in our definition of design.

​

Collecting such a diverse range of positive designs requires a new type of collection. Therefore, M21D maintains a digital collection of designs instead of a physical one. Rather than invest in structures and space, we’re developing a low-carbon website to host our designs and research, allowing anyone to access them and add to them at any time.   

​

The designs presented below are currently under consideration for our permanent collection. The files are being continuously updated. Let us know if you have suggestions to improve a specific file or want to suggest a new design for consideration.
