一个多中心的世界是一个多重世界可以繁荣的世界——在这个世界中，中心之外的社区可以设计他们自己的生活项目，这些项目反映了他们是谁，他们看重什么，以及他们的祖先是谁。本文认为，与传统的以需求为基础的方法相比，多元设计——旨在培养不同的生活模式和创造世界的方式——必然是以欲望为基础的。我认为社会设计的研究人员和实践者应该磨练我们的技艺，以主要回应社区的愿望，而不是目前关注他们的需求、问题和缺陷。我认为以需求为基础的方法是保守的，它暗示着一种生活模式的再现。，什么是“理想的”应该从一开始就知道和/或外部定义。这种方法不鼓励创造新的“可能性”。另一方面，基于欲望的方法是开放式的。在创造一个多世界的世界方面，最终的结果是什么？我们还不知道；我们将做一些以前从未做过的事情。打个比方，基于欲望的社会变革就是在指南针的帮助下开拓。当我们的任务是创造塑造人类在这个星球上存在的新方式和创造世界的新方式时，欲望是我们必须参与的力量，这是一个通向多元宇宙的开放式过程。
A world of many centers is a world where multiple worlds can flourish—where communities outside of the Center can design their own life projects, which reflect who they are, what they value, and who their ancestors had been. This paper argues that a Pluriversal Design—which aims to nurture alternative models of life and ways of world-making—is necessarily desire-based, in contrast with conventional needs-based approaches. I make a case for Social Design researchers and practitioners to hone our craft to respond primarily to the communities' desire, in contrast with the current focus on their needs, problems and deficits. I argue that needs-based approaches are conservative, implying the reproduction of a model of life —i.e., what is ‘desirable’ is supposedly know from the start and/or externally defined. Such approaches do not encourage the creation of new ‘possibles’. On the other hand, a desire-based approach is open-ended. In terms of creating a world of many worlds, what is the final result? We do not know yet; we will be doing something that has never been done before. Metaphorically, desire-based social change is about trailblazing with the help of a compass. Desire is the force that we have to engage when our task is to create new ways of shaping the human presence on this planet and new ways of world-making—an open-ended process towards the Pluriverse.
