Description

Gestaltung Denken brings together 40 essential texts on architecture and design theory. The first part contains texts by practitioners, i.e. architects and designers. The second features texts by theoreticians: cultural studies experts, philosophers, sociologists, historians of architecture and design. Each text represents a milestone in the history of/reflections on design and highlights design developments from early modernism to current debates. Each primary text is introduced and provided with commentary by a well-regarded specialist, who provides insights into the text’s author, genesis, and publishing context. Many of the selected texts are difficult to locate and/or are long out of print. This reader makes these texts – each crucial to theoretical discussion on architecture and design – accessible once again. This publication is ideal for teaching the history and development of the design disciplines at academies of architecture and design, but also offers practicing architects and designers a basis for reflecting on their own work against the background of historic debates.
