Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Meanings of Designed Spaces
Book SynopsisAs society rapidly changes, so too does our relationship with design and the spaces of the designed world. Meanings of Designed Spaces is a collection of articles by—and interviews with—renowned design academics and professionals exploring how people make meaning using design today, and how "designed space" both shapes and is shaped by technology, business, ethics, culture, sustainability, and society. Questions posed include: How does designing our world provide meaning in our lives? How is this meaning constructed? What is design research within this framework? How do interiors influence our social, cultural, and psychological ways of being? How is the designer’s role evolving in relationship to other stakeholders? What are possible ways we can understand and respond to the social, political, ethical, and cultural issues we face? The book’s subject matter moves from the theoretical to the practical and includes, at times, contradictory viewpoints, providing a springboard for conversation and debate.Table of ContentsDesign Thinking, Knowledge and Critical Approaches The Spaces of Interiors Understanding Space Through Historic and Philosophical Perspectives Philosophies and Spaces - Alternative Viewpoints Design Philosophies, Aesthetic Theories and Lived Experiences Considerations of Time and Space: Shaping Changing Spaces of Exploration Design Thinking and Meaning in the Context of Business The Business of Design Social Norms, New Patterns and Meanings of Social Relevance Cultural Contexts and Lived

WW Norton & Co The Midcentury Kitchen: America's Favorite Room,
Book SynopsisNearly everyone alive today has experienced cozy, welcoming kitchens packed with conveniences that we now take for granted. Sarah Archer, in this delightful romp through a simpler time, shows us how the prosperity of the 1950s kicked off the technological and design ideals of today’s kitchen. In fact, while contemporary appliances might look a little different and work a little better than those of the 1950s, the midcentury kitchen has yet to be improved upon. During the optimistic consumerism of midcentury America when families were ready to put their newfound prosperity on display, companies from General Electric to Pyrex to Betty Crocker were there to usher them into a new era. Counter heights were standardized, appliances were designed in fashionable colors, and convenience foods took over families’ plates. With archival photographs, advertisements, magazine pages, and movie stills, The Midcentury Kitchen captures the spirit of an era—and a room—where anything seemed possible.Trade Review"A refreshing retro-kitchen history" -- Florence Fabricant, The New York Times"If you want to understand your kitchen, this is the book for you. Packed with fabulous period images and memorable detail, this is the story of how the center of the American home came to look the way it does today—and what that can tell us about gender, capitalism, and social norms." -- Nicola Twilley, writer and co-host of the Gastropod podcast"Modern kitchens are the midcentury era in miniature: an embrace of the new, equal parts invention and consumption. Sarah Archer tells this story with warmth and wit, accompanied by beautifully chosen images throughout." -- Glenn Adamson, author of Fewer Better Things: The Hidden Wisdom of Objects
