An Ethics of Authenticity in the Client-Designer Relationship
This paper examines the value for design ethics with regard to the existentialist concept of authenticity by looking specifically at the relationship between client and designer. It shows that while this concept is valuable for design ethics it entails important issues for authentic relationship and ethical deliberation in design practice. Three models of interaction drawn from bioethics are used to analyse existentialist authenticity and its implications for the client-designer relationship and for the ethical decision-making process in design practice. Hence, a revised and more suitable conceptualization of authenticity is proposed, in which the client and the designer are able to interact on the ground of reciprocal recognition and valuation of individual subjectivity. Finally, the paper asserts that considering design practice and education through this conceptualization of authenticity can contribute to improve ethical deliberation and involvement between client and designer in design practice.
