Bruce Mau is an acclaimed Canadian designer and founder of the Institute without Boundaries (IwB). A major thread of his work--especially his IwB work--is concerned with designing solutions to the world's problems.
The exhibit and book he and the IwB put out in 2003-2004 has been influential in my own research, as I see an ethical imperative to bend scholarship toward justice in a practical, designed approach.
He'd be great to interview.
