Abstract

Societies worldwide are increasingly interconnected through trade, migration, education, and digitization. This has resulted in a profound new complexity of cultural groups. Consequently, designers are confronted with the challenge of gaining a clear understanding of this cultural diversity. Culture Sensitive Design provides an overview of theory as well as practical models and methods, aimed to motivate and inspire design students, practitioners, and educators to get in touch with different cultural values, customs, and symbols; to avoid mistakes that may be obstructive for certain groups of people; to enable cross-cultural cooperation; to learn more about the diverse and complex layers of culture that define who we are, how we think, how we imagine, and how we create; to open up the design space, thereby creating a tremendous source of new ideas.

Abstract

Social design omvat alle designstromingen die een duurzame levensstijl ondersteunen en alternatieven aandragen voor de huidige sociale en economische systemen. Looks good feels good is good verklaart het concept social design op een visuele en toegankelijke wijze. Het functioneert daardoor als referentieboek voor professionals en studenten, maar tevens als katalysator voor een creatieve beweging en een mentaliteit met een enorm potentieel en een ongekende impact. Anne van der Zwaag (1978) studeerde Hedendaagse Kunst aan de Universiteit Utrecht, maakt publicaties op het gebied van kunst, mode, design en architectuur en werkt als freelance curator, publicist en onderzoeker voor uiteenlopende culturele instellingen. Met bijdragen van Aaron Betsky, Jurgen Bey, Jan Boelen, Max Bruinsma, Lidewij Edelkoort, Martijn Engelbregt, Futurefarmers, Jeroen Junte, Richard van der Laken, Suzanne Lee, Joep van Lieshout, Tracy Metz, Lucy Orta, Jogi Panghaal, Gunter Pauli, Philippe Rahm, Alice Rawsthorn, Daan Roosegaarde, Superuse Studios, Thomas Widdershoven, Joanna van der Zanden, Anne van de Zwaag en vele anderen.

Abstract

As our everyday social and cultural experiences are increasingly mediated by electronic products—from "intelligent" toasters to iPods—it is the design of these products that shapes our experience of the "electrosphere" in which we live. Designers of electronic products, writes Anthony Dunne in Hertzian Tales, must begin to think more broadly about the aesthetic role of electronic products in everyday life. Industrial design has the potential to enrich our daily lives—to improve the quality of our relationship to the artificial environment of technology, and even, argues Dunne, to be subverted for socially beneficial ends. The cultural speculations and conceptual design proposals in Hertzian Tales are not utopian visions or blueprints; instead, they embody a critique of present-day practices, "mixing criticism with optimism." Six essays explore design approaches for developing the aesthetic potential of electronic products outside a commercial context—considering such topics as the post-optimal object and the aesthetics of user-unfriendliness—and five proposals offer commentary in the form of objects, videos, and images. These include "Electroclimates," animations on an LCD screen that register changes in radio frequency; "When Objects Dream...," consumer products that "dream" in electromagnetic waves; "Thief of Affection," which steals radio signals from cardiac pacemakers; "Tuneable Cities," which uses the car as it drives through overlapping radio environments as an interface of hertzian and physical space; and the "Faraday Chair: Negative Radio," enclosed in a transparent but radio-opaque shield.

Abstract

"The designer, author and design activist Victor J. Papanek anticipated an understanding of design as a tool for political change and social good that is more relevant today than ever. He was one of the first designers in the mainstream arena to critically question design's social and ecological consequences, introducing a new set of ethical questions into the design field.Victor Papanek: The Politics of Design presents an encompassing overview of Papanek's oeuvre, at the heart of which stood his preoccupation with the socially marginalized and his commitment to the interests of areas then called the Third World, as well as his involvement in the fields of ecology, bionics, sustainability and anti-consumerism. Alongside essays and interviews discussing Papanek's relevance in his own era, this book also presents current perspectives on his enduring legacy and its influence on contemporary design theory. Original Papanek family photographs, art and design work, drawings, correspondence and countless materials from the Victor J. Papanek Foundation archive at the University of Applied Arts Vienna are reproduced here for the first time, alongside work by both Papanek's contemporaries and designers working today." -- Amazon.com

Abstract

"Diversity and Design explores how design - whether of products, buildings, landscapes, cities, media, or systems - affects diverse members of society. Fifteen case studies in television, marketing, product design, architecture, film, video games, and more, illustrate the profound, though often hidden, consequences design decisions and processes have on the total human experience. The book not only investigates how gender, race, class, age, disability, and other factors influence the ways designers think, but also emphasizes the importance of understanding increasingly diverse cultures and, thus, averting design that leads to discrimination, isolation, and segregation. With over 140 full-color illustrations, chapter conclusions, discussion questions and exercises, Diversity and Design is a valuable tool to help you understand the importance of designing for all."-- Publisher's description
