Abstract

What is craft? How is it different from fine art or design? In A Theory of Craft, Howard Risatti examines these issues by comparing handmade ceramics, glass, metalwork, weaving, and furniture to painting, sculpture, photography, and machine-made design from Bauhaus to the Memphis Group. He describes craft's unique qualities as functionality combined with an ability to express human values that transcend temporal, spatial, and social boundaries.Modern design today has taken over from craft the making of functional objects of daily use by employing machines to do work once done by

Abstract

Ce livre défend une thèse provocante : notre avenir, écrit Vilém Flusser, sera avant tout affaire de "design". En effet, le design représente la confluence d'idées nouvelles empruntées à la science, à l'art, à l'économie et à la politique. C'est de façon apparemment toute naturelle que des éléments hétérogènes s'y combinent en un réseau complexe de relations. Dans des essais, des conférences, de courts textes en prose, Flusser étudie la situation actuelle et le style de l'époque à venir, son design. L'éventail est largement ouvert : ce volume comporte des réflexions sur les plans de câblage des ordinateurs et la fin des villes, des remarques sur la forme à donner aux fusées et aux parapluies. Il rassemble les textes de Vilém Flusser sur le design : considérations d'ordre phénoménologique sur notre environnement quotidien qu'il domine, gloses ironiques sur des objets et scénarios d'avenir, empreints d'une noire cruauté.

Abstract

Si l’on cesse de regarder le paysage comme l’objet d’une industrie on découvre subitement – est-ce un oubli du cartographe, une négligence du politique ? – une quantité d’espaces indécis, dépourvus de fonction sur lesquels il est difficile de porter un nom. Cet ensemble n’appartient ni au territoire de l’ombre ni à celui de la lumière. Il se situe aux marges. Gilles Clément porte son regard sur les lisières, les marges de champs, les terrains en attente, les reliquats non exploités du paysage. En suivant point par point ce manifeste, le lecteur comprendra que le Tiers paysage relève d’une perception, d’une relation d’un certain type au vivant, à l’espace et aux institutions qui en prennent en charge l’aménagement. Ce texte invite à cultiver des espaces de « non-agir » à tous les niveaux de nos vies, à l’heure où les injonctions climatiques et économiques peuvent nous sembler contradictoires – urgence à agir d’un côté et visions effondristes de l’autre. Paru il y a près de vingt ans, ce manifeste est aujourd’hui accompagné d’un état des lieux des mises en pratique de Tiers paysages donnant ainsi à voir le chemin parcouru depuis sa première édition. Il est introduit par Alexis Pernet, qui interroge le statut de ce texte hors norme et redessine le cheminement d’une pensée qui, assurément, a profondément marqué le paysage.

Abstract

Fondé en 2006, le laboratoire analyse architecture (laa) est le lieu de recherches interdisciplinaires dans les domaines de la théorie de l'architecture et de l’architecture théorique. Régulièrement, il diffuse sur son site web (www.lelaa.be) les travaux de ses membres actifs ou invités. Dix ans après la mise en place de cet espace de travail où s’est déployé un tracé entre disciplines – architecture, anthropologie, philosophie, psychanalyse, linguistique, histoire de l’art – de ce qu’il en est de l’architecture et de ses effets, il est apparu qu’un point d’étape méritait d’être réalisé ; qu’il y avait lieu d’acter les contributions cardinales du laa. Cet ouvrage rassemble les textes publiés sur le site du laa entre 2006 et 2016 qui ont proposé un tour voire un détour spéculatif propice à fourbir les instruments de la théorie de l’architecture. Founded in 2006, the Laboratory for Analysis and Architecture (LAAS) is a place of interdisciplinary research in the fields of theory of architecture and theoretical architecture. Regularly, it publishes on its website (www.lelaa.be) the work of its active members (or guests) the disciplines of architecture, anthropology, philosophy, psychoanalysis, linguistics, and history of art from the point of view of architecture and its effects.This book gathers the texts published on the website of the LAAS between 2006 and 2016.

Abstract

"What would keep the Bauhaus up at night if it were practicing today? A century after its founding by Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany, as an 'experimental laboratory of the future,' who are the pioneering experimentalists who reinscribe or resist Bauhaus traditions? This book explores the varied legacies, influences, and futures of the Bauhaus. Many of the animating issues of the Bauhaus--its integration of research, teaching, and practice; its experimentation with materials; its democratization of design; its open-minded, heterogeneous approach to ideas, theories, methods, and styles--remain relevant. The contributors to Bauhaus Futures address these but go further, considering issues that design has largely ignored for the last hundred years: gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and disability. Their contributions take the form of essays, photo-essays, interviews, manifestos, diagrams, and even a play. They discuss, among other things, the Bauhaus curriculum and its contemporary offshoots; Bauhaus legacies at the MIT Media Lab, Black Mountain College, and elsewhere; the conflict between the Bauhaus ideal of humanist universalism and current approaches to design concerned with race and justice; designed objects, from the iconic to the precarious; textile and weaving work by women in the Bauhaus and the present day; and design and technology."--

Abstract

While investigations into both theories and models has remained a major strand of engineering design research, current literature sorely lacks a reference book that provides a comprehensive and up-to-date anthology of theories and models, and their philosophical and empirical underpinnings; An Anthology of Theories and Models of Design fills this gap. The text collects the expert views of an international authorship, covering: ·         significant theories in engineering design, including CK theory, domain theory, and the theory of technical systems; ·         current models of design, from a function behavior structure model to an integrated model; ·         important empirical research findings from studies into design; and ·         philosophical underpinnings of design itself. For educators and researchers in engineering design, An Anthology of Theories and Models of Design gives access to in-depth coverage of theoretical and empirical developments in this area; for practitioners, the book will provide exposure to theoretical and empirical foundations to methods and tools that are currently practiced as well as those in the process of development.

Abstract

Design is one of the most powerful forces in our lives, and has never been more exciting. At a time when so many aspects of our lives are changing at relentless speed on an unprecedented scale, design is increasingly seen as a means of helping us to benefit from the opportunities created by those changes, and to avoid the dangers. Public interest is soaring as a new generation of designers is using advanced technologies to pursue their political and environmental objectives in increasingly ambitious projects, as well as to reinvent the objects and spaces we use every day. Conceived as a subjective field guide to design, Alice Rawsthorn's "Design as an Attitude" demystifies the field, explores the most dynamic developments in contemporary design, and assesses their impact on our lives now and in the future, acting as a comprehensive survey of design today.
