MIT Press The New Designer Rejecting Myths Embracing Change
Book SynopsisHow to develop an ethical design practice and build a better world.The choices made by designers have a significant effect on the world. Yet so much of the discourse on design focuses on aesthetics rather than ethics. In The New Designer, acclaimed author Manuel Lima aims to change this by challenging common myths and preconceptions about what comprises good design. He argues that designers must take responsibility for the personal, societal, cultural, and environmental impact of their work, rather than simply following a standard template.As he covers fields ranging from graphic design to industrial design to user-experience design, Lima identifies the major steps that designers must take to be a force for good in the world. Rather than sticking to outmoded ideas about perfectionism and individual genius, designers must work together to tackle some of the most challenging questions of the twenty-first century. How do you make room for humanity, with all i

BIS Publishers B.V. Culture Sensitive Design: A Guide to Culture in
Book SynopsisSocieties worldwide are increasingly interconnected through trade, migration, education, and digitization. This has resulted in a profound new complexity of cultural groups. Consequently, designers are confronted with the challenge of gaining a clear understanding of this cultural diversity.Culture is a complex phenomenon defined by an ongoing process of shifts in human interactions and experiences. In addition to the functional, technical, and economic requirements, it is primarily culture that defines how any designed object and service will perform and prove itself: a process that largely takes place outside the domain and control of the designer.Culture Sensitive Design provides an overview of theory as well as practical models and methods, aimed to motivate and inspire design students, practitioners, and educators to get in touch with different cultural values, customs, and symbols. It is in order to avoid mistakes that may be obstructive for certain groups of people; to enable cross-cultural cooperation; to learn more about the diverse and complex layers of culture that define who we are, how we think, how we imagine, and how we create; and to open up the design space, thereby creating a tremendous source of new ideas. Richly illustrated with examples of real life situations, the book provides everything necessary to generate optimal circumstances for the best design solutions to emerge.

BIS Publishers B.V. Made in China, Designed in California, Criticised
Book SynopsisWhen everything is destined to be designed, design disappears into the everyday. We simply do not see it anymore because it is everywhere. This is the vanishing act of design. At this moment, design registers its redundancy: our products, environments and services have been comprehensively improved. Everything has been designed to perfection and is under a permanent upgrade regime. Within such a paradigm, design is taken over by the capitalist logic of reproduction. But this does not come without conflicts, struggles and tensions. The most obvious of these, is that design is constantly being replaced. Our dispense culture prompts a yearning for longevity. The compulsion to delete brings alive a desire to retrieve objects, ideas and experiences that refuse to become obsolete. Society is growing more aware of sustainability and alert to the depletion of this world. For the ambitious designer, it is time to take the next step: designing the future with a more holistic consideration and approach. The book is a critical look at the design world with its various design disciplines and how these have developed in the past 10 years. Made in China, Designed in California, Criticised in Europe is for professional designers that care about design, the environment and how we live.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Imagine Math 8: Dreaming Venice
Book SynopsisThis eighth volume of Imagine Math is different from all the previous ones. The reason is very clear: in the last two years, the world changed, and we still do not know what the world of tomorrow will look like. Difficult to make predictions. This volume has a subtitle Dreaming Venice. Venice, the dream city of dreams, that miraculous image of a city on water that resisted for hundreds of years, has become in the last two years truly unreachable. Many things tie this book to the previous ones. Once again, this volume also starts like Imagine Math 7, with a homage to the Italian artist Mimmo Paladino who created exclusively for the Imagine Math 8 volume a new series of ten original and unique works of art dedicated to Piero della Francesca. Many artists, art historians, designers and musicians are involved in the new book, including Linda D. Henderson and Marco Pierini, Claudio Ambrosini and Davide Amodio. Space also for comics and mathematics in a Disney key. Many applications, from Origami to mathematical models for world hunger. Particular attention to classical and modern architecture, with Tullia Iori.As usual, the topics are treated in a way that is rigorous but captivating, detailed and full of evocations.

Silvana Design History Handbook
Book SynopsisThis book, dedicated to the history of design from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, is committed to drawing guidelines for the development of this discipline, offering a synthetic vision of the subject and, at the same time, highlighting elements for future investigations. If it's true that the history of artefacts and objects has always accompanied that of man, punctuated by turns occurring with the acquisition of technological innovations, it is in the mid-nineteenth century that we can retrace historically the professional figure of the designer, thus marking the birth of modern and contemporary design. The subject is branched and composite, embracing many disciplines: in addition to the field of furniture - which often exemplifies the broadest lines of design research in an excellent way - other sectors are considered here, from technical objects to graphics, from fashion to car design. Particular attention is reserved for the influence of the art world, with all its array of thought references that has constantly permeated the birth of design projects.

University of Minnesota Press Bauhaus Weaving Theory
Book SynopsisTrade Review"T’ai Smith’s careful opening up of the theoretical space between ‘craft’ and ‘medium’ will be an important intervention into discussions of medium specificity in the arts of the twentieth century. Attuned to the historical specificity of the practice, gender roles, and new possibilities for mediation in the Weimar period, she gives a compelling account of how the practical and theoretical concerns of weaving were negotiated discursively as well." —Frederic J. Schwartz, University College London "This is the first scholarly analysis of the theoretical writing by the women weavers of the Bauhaus and as such fills a huge gap in the literature about the work of women artists at the school and the role and evolution of a feminized craft within the institution’s history. This book functions as not only a history of the weaving workshop, but also a nuanced history of the Bauhaus through the lens of creative practice." —Elissa Auther, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs"Smith’s account yields important insights for the history of modernism as well as the art world’s current fascination with textiles and fiber art.

Transcript Verlag Teaching Research in Design: Guidelines for
Book SynopsisSince the 1990s, the concern to define areas of research in design has dominated academic debates. As a result, we are now facing a multitude of understandings. This is especially true for practice-based design research. Sandra Dittenberger, Hans Stefan Moritsch and Agnes Raschauer discuss how the concept of learning by research can be integrated into product design studio teaching. They show different international approaches for integrating research into teaching and contrast the areas of design research with scientific standards. The book features study results that helped generate both a general orientation for research in design education and guidelines for students of how to integrate research into their project work.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Design Anthropology Theory and Practice
Book SynopsisDesign is a key site of cultural production and change in contemporary society. Anthropologists have been involved in design projects for several decades but only recently a new field of inquiry has emerged which aims to integrate the strengths of design thinking and anthropological research.This book is written by anthropologists who actively participate in the development of design anthropology. Comprising both cutting-edge explorations and theoretical reflections, it provides a much-needed introduction to the concepts, methods, practices and challenges of the new field. Design Anthropology moves from observation and interpretation to collaboration, intervention and co-creation. Its practitioners participate in multidisciplinary design teams working towards concrete solutions for problems that are sometimes ill-defined. The authors address the critical potential of design anthropology in a wide range of design activities across the globe and query the impact of design on the discipliTrade Review"Design Anthropology will interest those engaged at the intersections of anthropology and design and, indeed, engineering and science and other future-making practices, and in years to come it will be an interesting document of a moment in intellectual history. - Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute - Eeva Berglund There is significant demand for a text such as this from industry and academia alike, as well as from students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels ... Even the short blurbs about contributors are a useful resource ... [The book also features] a well-rounded bibliography ... [and] an attractive series of colour photographs and diagrams. - Journal of Design History Designers and anthropologists have long worked together but the broader questions of how design and anthropology both inform and contextualize each other as contemporary projects remain very much in flux. This volume alone will not settle the matter but its broad view valuably maps out the terrain and illustrates what is at stake. It collects case studies, thoughtful reflections, and provocative proposals that do not simply illustrate the richness of this encounter but sketch the transformative conceptual impact that it has for both sides. For all of us who work, think, teach, write, and dwell in this exciting interdisciplinary space, these essays will be of tremendous value. - Paul Dourish, Professor of Informatics, University of California, Irvine, USA Design Anthropology is essential reading for anthropologists who want to make a difference in the world and designers who seek to understand the world in which they wish to make a difference. - Sarah Pink, Professor at the Design Research Institute and the School of Media and Communications at RMIT, Australia."Table of ContentsDesign Anthropology: Practices, Perspectives and Potentials - Ton Otto (Department of Culture and Society, Aarhus University, Denmark), Rachel Charlotte Smith (Department of Culture and Society, Aarhus University, Denmark) and Wendy Gunn (Mads Clausen Institute, University of Southern Denmark)Section One: Concepts, Methods and PracticesThe Social Life of Concepts in Design Anthropology - Adam Drazin (Institute of Anthropology, University College London, UK)Transforming Knowledge-pieces into Design Concepts: Creative Montage at Design Workshops - Mette Kjaersgaard (Department of Culture and Society, Aarhus University, Denmark)Tools and Movements of Engagement: Design Anthropology as a Particular Style of Knowing - Kyle Kilbourn (Institute of Technology and Innovation, University of Southern Denmark)Section Two: The Materiality of DesignDesigning by Doing: Building Bridges in the Highlands of Borneo - Ian J.

Severson, The Journal of Dress History “Not only thought-provoking but also beautifully presented and integrated by a rich body of precious visual references, Fashion and Politics is undeniably an essential reading…It is a thorough, rigorous and insightful study of this crucial relationship from a variety of perspectives, which can open further and much needed conversations on the multi-faceted nature of fashion’s deep political dimension."—Flavia Loscialpo, Fashion Theory“Provides a primer on the major necessary considerations for a politically engaged fashion. Its uniqueness comes in the form of refraining from frontal attack on fashion’s well-known atrocities. Rather it focuses on the complex ways that fashion might help support hegemonic power or help us articulate agency to resist it.”—Maylin M. Hernandez, New Political Science

Oxford University Press Twentieth Century Design
Book SynopsisThe most famous designs of the twentieth century are not those in museums, but in the marketplace - such as the Coca-Cola bottle and the McDonald's logo. Drawing on the most up-to-date scholarship, Jonathan Woodham takes a fresh look at the wider issues of design and industrial culture and explores themes such as national identity, the rise of multi-nationals, Pop and Postmodernism, and contemporary ideas of nostalgia and heritage. In the history which emerges designis clearly seen for what it is: the powerful and complex expression of aesthetic, social, economic, political, and technological forces.Trade ReviewTwentieth-Century Design is extremely thoroughly researched * Art Review, April 1997 *for a good general introduction to the subject you could not go very far wrong with Jonathan Woodham's excellent Twentieth Century Design ... Yet another example of the impressive new Oxford History of Art series. * The Bookseller *Fully and often surprisingly illustrated, carefully annotated and captioned, each combines a historical overview with a nicely opinionated individual approach. * Independent on Sunday *Woodham gives a deftly organised, extremely cool-headed account of the ideological spoon-fights behind the product ranges of modern capitalism: his range of reference and eye for detail are superb. * The Guardian *a superb piece of publishing * Rupert Christiansen, Spectator *...a valuable contribution to the field of design studies, and it deserves careful attention. Woodham is one of many intelligent writers in the new wave of British design history. His book...is likely to become a benchmark for measuring the aspirations and accomplishments of the movement. His book is a reasonable and valuable exploration of design history that is not easily falsified. - Richard Buchanan. Journal of Design History. Vol 11 1998.
