Book SynopsisThe book is a comprehensive guide for students and practitioners who want to take a collaborative approach in their design practice. Authors Marty Maxwell Lane and Rebecca Tegtmeyer introduce a range of case study collaborations, both face-to-face and remote, and between individuals and groups. The book addresses the basics of getting started, planning ahead and reflecting on outcomes, alongside the issues that come up in collaborative work, e.g. cross-cultural exchange, or managing roles within a diverse team. Editorial commentary runs throughout the chapter introductions and case studies, with informatics illustrating key concepts and expanded call out' points in the martin. More complex case studies offer a deep dive' section to explain and share further details of the featured projects.Trade ReviewLane and Tegtmeyer explore both the power and the struggle of collaboration in design. Through a series of case studies they pull the reader into a range of projects, providing a wealth of inspiration for designers operating in academia and industry. Ultimately, they address a crucial, contemporary question: how can we work together to take on the complex problems of our age. -- Helen Armstrong, Associate Professor of Graphic Design, North Carolina State University, USAThis book supports the call to reimagine, redirect and refocus graphic design education as a collaborative, improvisational and less outcome-based practice in the 21st Century. It doesn’t pretend to have all the answers but instead presents a trove of case studies from US schools, illustrating the insights and pitfalls of collaborative work in trans-disciplinary, socially-engaged and politically aware design curricula. -- Peter A.

Book SynopsisSurface is one of the most intensely debated topics in recent arts, humanities and social science scholarship. The changing technologies which manufacture the actual and virtual surfaces of today are radically altering our perception of thresholds and borders. In contrast to the responses to preceding industrial revolutions, contemporary concerns with surface seem preoccupied with its function of mediation or passage, rather than with that of separation or boundary. In Surface and Apparition, each chapter explores a different meaning and function of the material and immaterial qualities of ''surface''.Case studies include various surfaces from computer screens, ''artisanal'' engines and glass architecture to gauzy veils, the planetary surface of supply chain capitalism, and spatial embodiment in street markets. International scholars of design, architecture, film, media, fine art, fashion, textiles, silversmithing, woodworking and archival practices account for how the material Trade ReviewWe live, increasingly, in an age of surfaces - navigating our lives more and more via flat screens and fleeting appearances. Surface and Apparition provides a timely historical and theoretical viewpoint on this condition, through a series of inventive case studies. The book usefully challenges the stereotype of superficiality, showing that surfaces properly attended to can yield narratives of temporal and haptic subtlety. The volume is excitingly diverse in its contents, with respect to time period and geographical space, ranging from technology to hand craft. Nonetheless mounts a clear, powerful argument in favor of surface as an expressive, sensitive register of history. -- Glenn Adamson, Yale Center for British Art, USAThis is a truly remarkable and enjoyable, multidisciplinary investigation of surface. The details, insights, and theoretical explorations catch the imagination and open up important new avenues for thought and practice. The subtlety and nuance of this collection, each chapter providing unique haeccaties – those specific qualities that mark something as uniquely ‘it’ – that stay with the reader long after reading. This is an important work – for the student and scholar, but also for the inquisitive, the curious, and the reader who has always felt there must be something more to what meets the eye, the touch, the feel. -- Timothy Carroll, University College London, UKSurface and Apparition: The Immateriality of Modern Surface provides a coruscating assembly of reflections and arguments on the idea of the surface. The reader will come away astonished and invigorated by the density and depth of the ways in which different kinds of surface are brought to thought by the essays in Yeseung Lee's volume -- Steven Connor, University of Cambridge, UK‘Surface is now our becoming’ suggests Yeseung Lee in her introduction to this dazzlingly tactile exploration of surface by the collection of eminent makers and thinkers she has assembled for Surface and Apparition: The Immateriality of Modern Surface. Ground-breaking and provocative, the texts in this volume understand surface as both material and immaterial, concerned with transition and constant modification rather than with separation and boundaries. In our current climate where contact, transmission and diffusion are paramount concerns, this volume is both prophetic and essential reading -- Jonathan Faiers, University of Southampton, UKIn a dozen wide-ranging and provocative essays, representing as many distinct disciplinary perspectives, Surface and Apparition opens out onto the ways in which surfaces - from those of glass containers to the Earth itself - mediate multifaceted material and social dynamics. It shows that surfaces do more than contain or conceal; they are mutable ecologies encompassing multitudes, combinatory and often unstable processes composed as much of desire and thwarted intention as materials, means and design. -- Sandy Isenstadt, University of Delaware, USATable of ContentsList of Contributors Acknowledgements Prologue: Surface Matters, Giuliana Bruno (Harvard University, USA) Introduction, Yeseung Lee (De Montfort University, UK) 1.
