Designed in the style of a fanzine, the publication presents
different methods used in the working process of designers under the umbrella term of "tools", which are questioned and placed
in new contexts. The contributions were developed and exhibited by a temporary collective from the University of Applied Arts
Vienna at the invitation of Vienna Design Week 2024. Going beyond mere documentation, Design Revolution Now! shows
the new understanding of roles among a young generation of designers and, as a result, the need to fundamentally reform design
education at the Angewandte.
