Abstract

"This volume presents for the first time in English a curated selection of writings by the design thinker Gui Bonsiepe from the 1960s to the present day. Addressing as it does questions of non-Western design and a design practice that is both radical and democratic, Bonsiepe's work has assumed new importance for current debates inspired by global political and environmental crises. Structured into three sections, the anthology first addresses Bonsiepe's work on design theory and practice, particularly in relation to the history and contemporary relevance of the Ulm design school, where Bonsiepe was a professor in the 1960s. A second section then represents Bonsiepe's writings after his move to South America in the 1960s and '70s, where he worked as a design consultant for the Allende government in Chile before the military takeover. In writings from the period, Bonsiepe explores the concept of design 'at the periphery' and the relationship of national design traditions and practices in Latin American countries to those of 'the core' - Western European and American design. The final section comprises selections of Bonsiepe's writings on design in relation to literacy and language, visuality and cognition. This indispensable volume includes new interviews with Bonsiepe as well as his original, previously unpublished texts"--

Abstract

Dans cet ouvrage,on y découvre le nombre incroyable de lois et de règles qui conditionnent tout ce que nous avons sous nos yeux. Les réglements qui fixent les droits d'affichage en ville et à la campagne. Les normes de rédaction des informations sur les denrées alimentaires. Les codes d'urbanismes. Mais aussi les lois au sens plus général, comme les coutumes religieuses et les rituels sacrés (dans les sociétés primitives, par exemple). Ruedi Baur et ses collaborateur soulignent, et ils en font la démonstration avec la mise en page de leur ouvrage, que tout les écrits reproduits, et notamment les journaux, obéissent à des lois fixées à l'avance qu'on appelle d'une expression juridique: la charte graphique, qui définit les caractères utilisés pour telle ou telle partie du texte, la taille des titres, la largeur des marges, etc. Cet exemple permet de comprendre que nous avons sous nos yeux en permanence des informations dont l'organisation dépend de règles qui ne sont pas explicites pour l'usager, et qui opèrent sans que nous ayons à en connaître. Des règles qui conditionnent notre existence (car ce que nous voyons et ce que nous faisons à l'aide de la vue est une part considérable de notre vie) sans que nous ayons besoin d'en avoir conscience. Cette séparation des règles qui conditionnent la production des signes et des signes eux-mêmes peut avoir des effets de conditionnement sur les individus quand ce n'est pas, au pire (comme dans certaines dictatures au XXe siècle qui s'en sont servi pour étendre leurs pouvoirs), un effet d'asservissement.

Abstract

Today, everyone is a designer. And the future of civilization is our common design project. How does design help choose our leaders? Why do we"really"have an environmental crisis? How can accessible design broaden your audience? Why does the U.S. economy now struggle to compete? How has design thinking added to the bottom line of the world s most valuable companies? Design matters. As it never has before. Design creates so much of what we see, what we use, and what we experience. In a time of unprecedented environmental, social, and economic crises, designers must now choose what their young profession will be about: deploying weapons of mass deception or helping repair the world. "Do Good Design"is a call to action : This book alerts us to the role design plays in persuading global audiences to fulfill invented needs. The book then outlines a sustainable approach to both the practice and the consumption of design. All professionals will be inspired by the message of how we can feel better and do better while holding onto our principles. In a time when anything has become possible, design thinking offers a way forward for us all. What will you do?

Abstract

Everywhere we turn, a startling new device promises to transfigure our lives. But at what cost? In this urgent and revelatory excavation of our Information Age, leading technology thinker Adam Greenfield forces us to reconsider our relationship with the networked objects, services and spaces that define us. It is time to re-evaluate the Silicon Valley consensus determining the future.We already depend on the smartphone to navigate every aspect of our existence. We’re told that innovations—from augmented-reality interfaces and virtual assistants to autonomous delivery drones and self-driving cars—will make life easier, more convenient and more productive. 3D printing promises unprecedented control over the form and distribution of matter, while the blockchain stands to revolutionize everything from the recording and exchange of value to the way we organize the mundane realities of the day to day. And, all the while, fiendishly complex algorithms are operating quietly in the background, reshaping the economy, transforming the fundamental terms of our politics and even redefining what it means to be human.Having successfully colonized everyday life, these radical technologies are now conditioning the choices available to us in the years to come. How do they work? What challenges do they present to us, as individuals and societies? Who benefits from their adoption? In answering these questions, Greenfield’s timely guide clarifies the scale and nature of the crisis we now confront —and offers ways to reclaim our stake in the future.
