In the mid-twentieth century, Henry Dreyfuss, widely considered the father of industrial design, pioneered a user-centered approach to design that focuses on studying people's behaviors and attitudes as a key first step in developing successful products. In the intervening years, user-centered design has expanded to undertake the needs of differently abled users and global populations as well as the design of complex systems and services. Beautiful Users explores the changing relationship between designers and users and considers a range of design methodologies and practices, from user research to hacking, open source, and the maker culture.

This facsimile edition preserves Rand's original 1947 essay with the adjustments he made to its text and imagery for a revised printing in 1970, and adds only an informative and inspiring new foreword by design luminary Michael Bierut. As relevant today as it was when first published, this classic treatise is an indispensable addition to the library of every designer.

Summary:
Conceived by Atelier Hoko, this booklet approaches uncovering implicit conditions that exist in our experience of the everyday. The term “secondary” refers to material and immaterial conditions and sensations that humans are not conscious of in their interaction with things and the immediate surroundings. In so doing, the independent research lab hopes to draw upon a renewed sensibility towards living. This instalment analyses the act of drinking from a cup in exceeding detail, through photos, diagrams and texts. Atelier Hoko developed this programme in response to questions on how design today can move beyond its perceived perimeters.

Ce quatrième titre de la collection « :T » est un témoignage de l’expérience de Bruno Munari en tant que professeur. Le designer italien, célèbre pour ses œuvres inventives et libres, ses ouvrages pour adultes et enfants, et sa défense d’une création épurée et en mouvement, a en effet donné en 1967 un cours de communication visuelle à Harvard. La première partie de ce livre reproduit les lettres qu’il écrivait durant cette période à un quotidien milanais, y racontant avec humour son expérience d’« expatrié » et avec pédagogie son quotidien de professeur. La seconde partie reproduit ce qui servit de base au cours dispensé par Munari : des notes, des exemples, des schémas, etc. L’œuvre professorale de Munari mérite d’être découverte pour sa simplicité, sa plume alerte et les points de vue qu’elle défend. L’auteur y prône une vision pragmatique de l’enseignement, qui refuse toute prétention ou conceptualisation vaniteuse pour se tourner vers des réflexions sensées et utiles à la pratique future des designers et créateurs graphiques.

Summary:
Cooperatives, sharing communities, co-housing in the late 1920s the Bauhaus took a keen interest in the relationship between society and design, the individual and collaborative creation and production. A key figure in this development was architect Hannes Meyer (1889 1954), the second Bauhaus director, whose revolutionary collaborative design process is documented here for the first time. With his appointment in 1928, Meyer brought a change in thinking: from author-architect to collective, from the need for luxury to the needs of the people, playing a key role radically orienting the school s teaching, workshops, its planning and architecture around the idea and needs of the collective until his politically motivated dismissal in 1930. Informative texts by researchers Werner Moller and Astrid Volpert, with introduction by director Claudia Perren, are illustrated with a wonderful array of archival photos of students, performances, furniture and building projects that convey the energy and optimism of the time.

De Kant à Mendini, l'équivoque décorative redouble et fragilise les certitudes du visible.
