Welcome
to the
Design Gym Online!
We’re so glad you’re here!
Imagination work is best done alongside others, so we recommend using this site with a team. Look around, question assumptions, and test your ideas outside. Come back to the DG Online whenever you feel stuck or need new tools or inspiration.
The Design Gym and Design Gym Online were imagined and built by the Design Studio for Social Intervention (DS4SI), in collaboration with Radical Imagination for Racial Justice (RIRJ) with initial support from the Surdna Foundation. The Design Gym Online is a public resource to practice designing for social change. It is an extension of the physical Design Gym, where we practice collective making and thinking.
The Design Gym Online is a practice space to design for social change.
What do we mean by ‘everyday life’? And what changes when we start with the everyday when thinking about social change?
Orienting ourselves to our everyday life arrangements and questioning: What ideas are being embedded? What effects are being produced? And how can we re-arrange this?
A design process for questioning our habits, stretching our imaginations, and prototyping the worlds we want.
Another everyday life is possible

The Design Gym Online is an extension of the Design Gym, a place where you can come and work on the design of your everyday life—and, by extension, your neighborhood, city, and public life.
