The Design Activist
From time to time Richard publishes zines. These are published under the name "The Design Activist" and are typically ways to interrogate our current built environment and propose solutions outside of present norms.
Influenced in part by Anne Thorpe's early work "Design as Activism", these small graphic illustrations are geared specifically towards a certain audience and contain messages that suggest we should not outsource our rights to the city.
