JOVIS Verlag Reflexives Entwerfen / Reflexive Design:
Book SynopsisBilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) Reflexive Design presents an integrative approach, both in theory and in practice, to the emergence and interpretation of design and research in architecture. The formative role of research-based design strategies, with regard to architectural developments from modernity to the present day, has not yet been fully recognized. At the same time, in recent years increasing importance has been accorded to discourses about design theory. At the interface of these two contexts, the contributions in the book portray the wide spectrum of creative and cultural aspects of reflexivity and reflexive design processes, as well as the potential opened up by different methods of creation and by the unexpected connections between theoretical knowledge and project ideas in architecture.With contributions by Christoph Grafe, Alban Janson, Wolfgang Jonas, Lara Schrijver, Angelika Schnell, Manuel Scholl, Ullrich Schwarz, Sophie Wolfrum und Margitta Buchert.

AVEdition Design Engineering: Sustainable and Holistic
Book SynopsisThe book describes the potential of both design objects and concepts, as well as design as a process, with a strong focus on the process of design engineering in the past, present and future. The book makes a stance by referring to historic and current design parameters in industry in relation to certain training methods. It compares these within Europe, explicitly the approach taken by Germany, Great Britain, and Scandinavia – and highlights best practice examples. The range of design disciplines, especially an in-depth look at classic product and textile design, leads to new “blueprint” possibilities and interactive design methods.

Aarhus University Press Catalyst Architecture
Book SynopsisThis book raises a discussion in regard to architecture''s role as a catalyst for urban development. Through studies of eight architectural projects in large cities on four different continents, the focus is placed on how architecture can promote the enriching experiences of the tolerant, the democratic, the learning and the experience rich city. In other words: The city worth living in, worth supporting and worth investing in. The projects operate with a mix of design programs, organised so that they invite diverse user groups to a variety of activities. Visual and other sensuous architectural effects frame the interaction between the projects and the human activities within their urban context -- an interaction that indicates a direction for a new narrative about the potential of place. The book is written for everybody with an interest in architecture and urban life in large cities and is a must-read for students of architecture, urban design, town planning, urban geography, urban sociology and aesthetic studies.

Springer Probabilistic Methods for Structural Design
Book SynopsisThis book contains contributions from various authors on different important topics related with probabilistic methods used for the design of structures. Initially several of the papers were prepared for advanced courses on structural reliability or on probabilistic methods for structural design. These courses have been held in different countries and have been given by different groups of lecturers. They were aimed at engineers and researchers who already had some exposure to structural reliability methods and thus they presented overviews of the work in the various topics. The book includes a selection of those contributions, which can be of support for future courses or for engineers and researchers that want to have an update on specific topics. It is considered a complement to the existing textbooks on structural reliability, which normally ensure the coverage of the basic topics but then are not extensive enough to cover some more specialised aspects. In addition to the contributions drawn from those lectures there are several papers that have been prepared specifically for this book, aiming at complementing the others in providing an overall account of the recent advances in the field. It is with sadness that in the meanwhile we have seen the disappearance of two of the contributors to the book and, in fact two of the early contributors to this field.Trade Review`...The book is well-produced and the diagrams, tables and graphs are clearly readable.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Femina Problematis Solvendis—Problem solving
Book SynopsisThis book explores the history of modern human creativity/innovation, highlighting examples of solutions to basic human’ needs that have been developed over time. The title – Femina Problematis Solvendis – is a play on the scientific classifications of humans (Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo sapiens), but with special focus on inventions pioneered by women (“femina”) and is intended to suggest that a defining characteristic of modern humans is our fundamental ability to solve problems (i.e., problem-solving woman = Femina problematis solvendis), Written by David H. Cropley, an internationally recognised expert on creativity and innovation, it also builds on his previous book “Homo Problematis Solvendis –Problem-solving Man”, published in 2019. The book explores innovations over ten distinct “ages” of human history, beginning with “prehistory”, and moving up to the present “information age”. Each era is covered by a dedicated chapter that describes three key innovations that were either definitely invented by a woman or can be plausibly attributed to a female inventor. The book’s focus on female inventors also serves to highlight some of the ways women have been treated in societies over time.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Prehistory (<2,700 BC).- The Classical Period (753 BC – 476 AD).- The Dark Ages (476-1453).- The Renaissance (1300-1700).- The Age of Exploration (1490-1700).- The Age of Enlightenment (1685-1815).- The Romantic Period (1800-1900).- The Modern Age (1880-1950).- The Space Age (1950-1981).- The Digital Age (1981-2018).- Conclusions.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Design-inspired Innovation
Book SynopsisWhen an innovation is inspired by design, it transcends technology and utility. The design delights the user, seamlessly integrating the physical object, a service, and its use into something whole. A design-inspired innovation is so simple that it becomes an extension of the user. It creates meaning and a new language.Design-Inspired Innovation takes a unique look at the intersection between design and innovation, and explores the novel ways in which designers are contributing to the development of products and services. The book's scope is international, with emphasis on design activities in Boston, England, Sweden, and Milan. Through a rich variety of cases and cultural prisms, the book extends the traditional design viewpoint and stretches the context of industrial design to question — and answer — what design is really all about. It gives readers tools for inspiration, and shows how design can change language and even create human possibilities.Trade Review"Successful design has been the least understood dimension of successful innovation. This book, authored by first-rate scholars, makes a major contribution towards closing this gap."Clayton M ChristensenRobert and Jane Cizik Professor of Business AdministrationHarvard Business School, Boston, MA"The authors of Design-Inspired Innovation argue well that in this world of increasing complexity, simplicity and elegance in a product or system design greatly empowers the user. Keep this thought in mind, read the book, and you and your teammates will be well served. Utterback and his colleagues have developed a truly useful guide for students, engineers, and executives alike."Marc H MeyerMatthews Distinguished University Professor, Northeastern University andAuthor of The Power of Product Platforms (Free Press, 1997) andThe FASTPATH to GROWTH (Oxford, 2007)"Within the AB Traction group of companies, quite a few are design-dependent; in fact, we strive to rely ever more upon design to strengthen our business offers. Thus Design-Inspired Innovation is a welcome book. Its broad international scope and focus on innovation make it all the more useful. The quality that industrial designers always focus on the end user cannot be emphasized enough."Bengt StillstromChairman and Founder, AB Traction"Design is increasingly seen as a competitive tool by businesses. This is based on the growing understanding that companies in the UK and elsewhere in the developed world cannot compete on price, but rather need to differentiate themselves by using design process to add value to their products and services. As a result, management books such as this describing how design can drive and enable innovation will become increasingly important."Harry RichDeputy Chief Executive of the Design Council in London"If you are determined to make a difference in this world you must, somehow, break new ground. This stunning new book reveals how. Design-Inspired Innovation tells us that technology will, at best, put you in the game. But if you want to win it you must understand the power of design -- and how it drives innovation. The authors met at the intersection of their different fields and cultures and brought the insights they found there to life. So take a deep breath and see for yourself what they discovered!"Frans JohanssonEntrepreneur and Author of The Medici Effect, Harvard Business School Press"This book is a must-read, and should be kept close by for any designer. It will also make an outstanding textbook sure to inspire lively discussion."Professor A CooperUniversity of Pittsburgh, USA"Design-Inspired Innovation is an important contribution to better understanding the hidden role that design plays in the innovation process -- from the product to the enterprise itself -- and the different skills, methodologies, and sensibilities that industrial designers bring to innovation. Of equal importance, this work delves into the organizational culture and management sensibilities enterprises need to develop to become design inspired. With careful reading, the book can unlock new opportunities for senior management in the utilization of design as a primary competency of any organization. Particularly refreshing is the in-depth exploration of different philosophical approaches to design as practiced in Italy, Scandinavia, and North America. The insights are potentially invaluable in stimulating a cross-pollination of ideas and approaches in design-inspired innovation for a global market."Gianfranco ZaccaiPresident and CEO, Design Continuum, USA"This book should prove very valuable to individuals and firms working with, or contemplating a relationship with, designers and design firms."Journal of Product Innovation ManagementTable of ContentsWhat Makes Products Great?; Creating Design Classics; Integrating Function and Design; Managing the Design Process; The Work of Designers; Design-Inspired Innovation and the Design Discourse; Broadening Human Possibilities Through Design; Design -- Vision and Visualizing; Interview Questions for Designers and Design Firms; From Sketch to Product.

Pan Stanford Publishing Pte Ltd Additive Manufacturing: Design, Methods, and
Book SynopsisAdditive manufacturing has matured from rapid prototyping through the now popular and "maker"-oriented 3D printing, recently commercialized and marketed. The terms describing this technology have changed over time, from "rapid prototyping" to "rapid manufacturing" to "additive manufacturing," which reflects largely a focus on technology.This book discusses the uptake, use, and impact of the additive manufacturing and digital fabrication technology. It augments technical and business-oriented trends with those in product design and design studies. It includes a mix of disciplinary and transdisciplinary trends and is rich in case and design material. The chapters cover a range of design-centered views on additive manufacturing that are rarely addressed in the main conferences and publications, which are still mostly, and importantly, concerned with tools, technologies, and technical development. The chapters also reflect dialogues about transdisciplinarity and the inclusion of domains such as business and aesthetics, narrative, and technology critique. This is a great textbook for graduate students of design, engineering, computer science, marketing, and technology and also for those who are not students but are curious about and interested in what 3D printing really can be used for in the near future.Table of ContentsScope of the book. Technology and 3D printing. AICE, an approach to designing for Additive Manufacturing. Impact of 3D printing. Visual three-dimensional form. Potential of Additive-Manufactured Products in Building Brands. The future of Additive Manufacturing.
