Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Design for Sustainable Change: How Design and Designers Can Drive the Sustainability Agenda
Book SynopsisDesign for Sustainable Change explores how design thinking and design-led entrepreneurship can address the issue of sustainability. It discusses the ways in which design thinking is evolving and being applied to a much wider spectrum of social and environmental issues, beyond its traditional professional territory. The result is designers themselves evolving, and developing greater design mindfulness in relation to what they do and how they do it. This book looks at design thinking as a methodology which, by its nature, considers issues of sustainability, but which does not necessarily seek to define itself in those terms. It explores the gradual extension of this methodology into the larger marketplace and the commercial and social implications of such an extension.Trade ReviewAn invaluable reference guide to the major ethical design themes of our time. With its lively format and succinct overview of concepts, ideas and case studies, this book is essential reading for anyone wishing to grasp the complexities of sustainability and the role of design. * Stuart Walker, Professor of Design, Lancaster University, UK; author of Sustainable by Design: Explorations in Theory and Practice. *Design is undergoing a revolution, and this book is an essential guide for tomorrow's design revolutionaries. Design thinking, service design and design activism are among the new ideas that are transforming the processes and practices of design today. Students of design require a clear guide through these radical new territories of creative practice to help them develop sustainable futures - for themselves and for the world they live in. This extremely timely book is essential reading for design students in all disciplines. * Professor Mike Press, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design University of Dundee, Scotland *This book helps designers of all persuasions to re-imagine their own design futures. It suggests that this re-orientation involves fresh ways of perceiving, thinking and practicing. It believes that design for sustainable change helps everyone to re-pattern their behaviour towards more sustainable ways of living. Importantly, it adds another significant step in the negotiation of Design's own transitional journey. * Alastair Fuad-Luke, design educator, enabler, writer & activist; author of The Eco-design Handbook and Design Activism *This well-researched, clearly written book is refreshingly to the point. Using a wide range of pertinent and up-to-date case studies it guides the reader to see design as an ethical, considered practice for the benefit of all rather than a consumer driven indulgence. This book will prove particularly vital reading for those who are carefully picking their way through the plethora of different perspectives the world of design presents. * Dr Paul Atkinson, Reader in Design, Sheffield Hallam University, UK *Design for Sustainable Change is timely, clear and compelling. It's the ideal roadmap for any designer seeking an alternative to business as usual. * John Thackara, Doors of Perception *Students in all the design professions should read this admirable and wise book by Chick and Micklethwaite ... it is a fascinating explication of the philosophy of design that offers a vision of how designers should think and work and what design should be ... The accompanying case studies, a fascinating collection of local, national, and global solutions, show how design can address ecological and social problems ... This beautiful book is superbly illustrated. * Choice review, R. M. Labuz, Mohawk Valley Community College, USA *Chick and Micklethwaite do an excellent job of explaining issues surrounding design and sustainability. Although the book is geared toward professional and aspiring designers, anyone with a curiosity for design and sustainability will find this book fascinating. -- Tina Chan * Art Libraries Society of North America *For anyone wanting a clear overview of the different approaches that designers might take toward a more sustainable future, this is a must read. * Guy Julier, University of Brighton, UK *This book is an excellent general overview of how the global ecological crisis impacts the nature of design. * Louise St Pierre, Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Canada *This is a good compilation of material ... a readable introduction to this subject for architectural and design students. * John Napier, University of Lincoln, UK *This is a great book for demystifying some of the woolly topics surrounding sustainability. The book is well written and the authors tackle some big themes within the text, yet these these topics are succinctly explained in manageable chunks along with numerous case studies, each of which are clearly explained. As such it makes it an ideal undergraduate text. The chapter on Design Thinking and collaborative approaches to design is particularly interesting and relevant to a new generation designers. * Tim Bones, K College, UK *Table of ContentsContents.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Design Ethnography: Epistemology and Methodology
Book SynopsisThis open access book describes methods for research on and research through design. It posits that ethnography is an appropriate method for design research because it constantly orients itself, like design projects, towards social realities. In research processes, designers acquire project-specific knowledge, which happens mostly intuitively in practice. When this knowledge becomes the subject of reflection and explication, it strengthens the discipline of design and makes it more open to interdisciplinary dialogue. Through the use of the ethnographic method in design, this book shows how design researchers can question the certainties of the everyday world, deconstruct reality into singular aesthetic and semantic phenomena, and reconfigure them into new contexts of signification. It shows that design ethnography is a process in which the epistemic and creative elements flow into one another in iterative loops. The goal of design ethnography is not to colonize the discipline of design with a positivist and objectivist scientific ethos, but rather to reinforce and reflect upon the explorative and searching methods that are inherent to it. This innovative book is of interest to design researchers and professionals, including graphic artists, ethnographers, visual anthropologists and others involved with creative arts/media. Table of ContentsChapter 1. Introduction.- Chapter 2. The Blind Spot.- Chapter 3. The Everyday World and Intersubjectivity.- Chapter 4. Design Research: Immersion and Intervention.- Chapter 5.

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH die welt als entwurf: schriften zum design
Book SynopsisOtl Aicher (1922–1991) war einer der herausragenden Vertreter des modernen Designs, er war Mitbegründer der legendären Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm (HfG). Der heute geläufige Begriff der visuellen Kommunikation ist auf ihn zurückzuführen. Was er seit den 1950er Jahren geschaffen hat, erinnert sei z. B. an die Piktogramme für die Olympischen Sommerspiele München 1972, gehört zu den ganz großen Leistungen der visuellen Kultur unserer Zeit.Die hier versammelten Texte sind Erkundungen einer „Welt als Entwurf“. Sie gehören substantiell zu seiner Arbeit. In der Bewegung durch die Geschichte von Denken und Gestalten, Bauen und Konstruieren versichert er sich der Möglichkeiten, die Existenz menschlich einzurichten. Nach wie vor geht es um die Frage, unter welchen Voraussetzungen Zivilisationskultur herstellbar ist. Diese Voraussetzungen müssen erstritten werden gegen scheinbare Sachzwänge und geistige Ersatzangebote.Otl Aicher streitet gern. So enthält dieser Band neben Berichten aus der Praxis und historischen Exkursen zu Design und Architektur auch polemische Einlassungen zu kultur– politischen Themen. Mit produktivem Eigen-Sinn streitet Aicher vor allem für die Erneuerung der Moderne, die sich weitgehend in ästhetischen Visionen erschöpft habe. Noch immer sei der „Kultursonntag“ wichtiger als der Arbeitsalltag.Wolfgang Jean StockTrade ReviewHat er das alles schon vorher gewusst? "Die Welt schrumpft zu Rechenoperationen zusammen", schrieb Otl Aicher vor Jahrzehnten über das heraufziehende digitale Zeitalter, "fast jeder Mensch hat bereits eine zweite Natur, seine Existenz als Größe von Zahlen und Werten." Aicher, der bereits 1984 ein Institut für analoge Studien gründete, befürchtete schlimmes: dass uns nämli8chdie Wechselbeziehung von Denken und Handeln, von Greifen und Begreifen abhanden kommt. Nachlesen kann man das in zwei Essaybänden, die 24 Jahre nach ihrem Erscheinen in Aichers Todesjahr nun als Taschenbücher wiederaufgelegt worden sind. Es lohnt sich, diese Texte über das drohende Digitale, über Wittgenstein, Charles Eames, Äpfel oder die Welt als Entwurf wiede pder überhaupt zum ersten Mal zu lesen, auch wenn einiges inzwischen verstaubt klingen mag: zum Beispiel Aichers Insistieren gegen jedwedes Künstlerische im Design.

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH The World as Design
Book SynopsisOtl Aicher's writings are explorations of the world, a substantive part of his work. In moving through the history of thought and design, building and construction, he assures us of the possibilities of arranging existence in a humane fashion. As ever he is concerned with the question of the conditions needed to produce a civilised culture. These conditions have to be fought for against apparent factual or material constraints and spiritual and intellectual substitutes on offer. Otl Aicher likes a dispute. For this reason, the volume contains polemical statements on cultural and political subjects as well as practical reports and historical exposition. He fights with productive obstinacy, above all for the renewal of Modernism, which he claims has largely exhausted itself in aesthetic visions; he insists the ordinary working day is still more important than the "cultural Sunday".

Book SynopsisOtl Aicher (1922 –1991) war einer der herausragenden Vertreter des modernen Designs, er war Mitbegründer der legendären Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm (HfG). Der heute geläu_ ge Begriff der visuellen Kommunikation ist auf ihn zurückzuführen. Was er seit den 1950er Jahren geschaffen hat, erinnert sei z. B. an die Piktogramme für die Olympischen Sommerspiele München 1972, gehört zu den ganz großen Leistungen der visuellen Kultur unserer Zeit.Ein wesentlicher Aspekt der Arbeiten von Aicher ist deren Verankerung in einer von Denkern wie Ockham, Kant oder Wittgenstein inspirierten „Philosophie des Machens“, die die Voraussetzungen und Ziele sowie die Gegenstände und Ansprüche von Gestaltung zum Thema hat. Aichers Schriften zu Fragen des Designs von der visuellen Gestaltung bis hin zur Architektur liegen in diesem Band in geschlossener Form vor.Wenn Aicher das Analoge und Konkrete dem Digitalen und Abstrakten vorzieht, tut er dies mit philosophischer Absicht. Er relativiert die Rolle der reinen Vernunft. Er kritisiert den Rationalismus der Moderne als Ergebnis der Vorherrschaft des bloß abstrakten Denkens. Wer das Abstrakte dem Konkreten vorzieht, missversteht nicht nur die wechselseitige Abhängigkeit von Begriff und Anschauung. Er schafft nach Aichers Urteil auch eine falsche Hierarchie, eine Rangordnung, die kulturell verhängnisvoll ist. Das digitale, Abstrakte ist nicht höher, größer und wichtiger als das Analoge, Konkrete.Wilhelm VossenkuhlTrade ReviewDigital ist schlechter Hat er das alles schon vorher gewusst?
