24 Principles of Design for Transforming the World

One of the most prominent and influential figures in contemporary design, Canadian-born Bruce Mau has dedicated his career to exploring how design can be a catalyst for positive, systemic transformation. Over the past four decades, Mau has written, designed, and collaborated on more than 200 books, including the groundbreaking S,M,L,XL (1995), his seminal collaboration with architect Rem Koolhaas, which redefined the possibilities of architectural publishing and theory. Renowned for his expansive, interdisciplinary approach, Mau has worked across fields ranging from architecture and urbanism to education, branding, and sustainability. At the heart of his practice is the belief that design is not just a visual discipline but a methodology for solving complex problems at every scale. His latest publication, MC24: The Principles for Designing Massive Change in Your Life and Work (Phaidon, 2020), distills his philosophy into 24 guiding principles—offering a blueprint for how individuals and organizations can drive meaningful change through the lens of design.
