Aarhus University Press Designerly Loops
Book SynopsisEssential thinking and doing for design students. How do you do design for the first time? Design was originally taught as an apprenticeship, because there is no one solution for, how to approach a design challenge. It is situated. It depends on the expertise of those tackling it. It depends on their circumstances and loads of other factors. DESIGNERLY LOOPS is an apprenticeship notebook with roadmaps, worksheets, short explainer videos and reflections: The roadmaps will guide you in your design journey. It is kind of a map for navigating an unknown territory for the first time. We tried to lay this out to support you in moving forward; The worksheets will suggest relevant actions and support you in more doing; The short explainer videos will answer most of your practical and theoretical questions and also show concrete examples of different tools and techniques typically used in the design process. These videos are only produced in Danish (as a start); The reflections will help you reflect, to become reflective in your practice and move up the ladder of expertise. It will help you to do and think in a focused and reflective manner. The content in the book stands on the shoulders of design thinking and designerly research, as well as our own research on how to build a design expertise. We have written it because we found that there is missing a book that teaches design students to move forward, not only in their project, but in their enhancement of their skills within design.

Rizzoli International Publications Piero Fornasetti Practical Madness
Book SynopsisAn extensive illustrated survey of one of the most inventive design minds of the twentieth century. Combining whimsy and elegance, Piero Fornasetti transformed everyday objects like cups, scarves, and plates into much sought-after works of art with his idiosyncratic motifs, such as the hand, the female face, and luminescent fish. His dazzling pieces of trompe l’oeil furniture, created in collaboration with Gio Ponti, are also highly prized by collectors worldwide. Fornasetti’s boundless imagination is celebrated here in a book published to document a major retrospective exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. The first half of the monograph is organized by type and includes Fornasetti’s paintings, drawings, and furniture. The second half focuses on favorite themes: his use of trompe l’oeil, architectural drawings, and his variations on the face of a famous operatic beauty. Featuring 400 illustrations covering almTrade Review"Piero Fornasetti is a comprehensive introduction to the work of Fornasetti. . . This book is an excellent addition to the literature on design.

It examines what makes an object Italian in a world characterized by increasingly interconnected production, marketing, and consumption networks…The book does several things well: it describes the complex synthesis of regional, national, and international influences that have combined to affect how Italian design is understood; brings attention to the influence of craft on Italian design history; and offers an extensive, up-to-date bibliography. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above; general readers. -- A. R. Michelson, University of Washington Libraries * CHOICE *Made in Italy offers a multi-faceted picture of how the fiction of the nation has been edited and rewritten over the course of the 20th century in the service of yet another enduring fiction—one based on both the facts and myths of Italian design. This carefully curated collection of essays asks us to understand that the relationship between geography and design is, and was, never contained in a map but something far less stable—culture. -- Susan Yelavich, Parsons The New School for Design, USATable of ContentsIntroduction: The History of Italian Design, Kjetil Fallan, University of Oslo, Norway, and Grace Lees-Maffei, University of Hertfordshire, UK 1.
