Summary:
The Domestic Scene reveals Niedecken as a forward-looking designer influenced by European Art Nouveau and Secessionist design as well as by the Arts and Crafts Movement. Cheryl Robertson focuses on three examples of Niedecken’s commissions and an article by Niedecken himself (reprinted in this volume) to explore the evolving relationship between architect, interior designer, and client in the first quarter of the twentieth century. This expanded second edition includes updated photography, additional color images, and an essay by John C. Eastberg that deepens our understanding of Niedecken’s career by presenting his lesser-known work in the context of Milwaukee’s artistic and social history. Niedecken worked also in the Colonial and Renaissance Revival modes, and these works illustrate his versatility as a designer and entrepreneur.

Summary:
Ce livre-objet, conçu par le célèbre designer italien Gaetano Pesce, revêt la forme d'un point d'interrogation. Il figure d'emblée ce "temps des questions" qui constitue notre quotidien et témoigne de nos angoisses face à une réalité mouvante qui nous échappe. Aux multiples questions que pose ce créateur en introduction : sur la crise de l'art, sur la fonction de l'architecture et du design, sur le "mal faire", sur le langage, sur le vieillissement de la ville, sur l'enseignement demain..., des écrivains et des critiques d'art tentent d'apporter des réponses en s'inspirant de son travail de designer.
