Summary:
"This is a book about science, technology, and love," writes Sherry Turkle. In it, we learn how a love for science can start with a love for an object--a microscope, a modem, a mud pie, a pair of dice, a fishing rod. Objects fire imagination and set young people on a path to a career in science. In this collection, distinguished scientists, engineers, and designers as(...)

Summary:
"This is a book about science, technology, and love," writes Sherry Turkle. In it, we learn how a love for science can start with a love for an object--a microscope, a modem, a mud pie, a pair of dice, a fishing rod. Objects fire imagination and set young people on a path to a career in science. In this collection, distinguished scientists, engineers, and designers as well as twenty-five years of MIT students describe how objects encountered in childhood became part of the fabric of their scientific selves. In two major essays that frame the collection, Turkle tells a story of inspiration and connection through objects that is often neglected in standard science education and in our preoccupation with the virtual. The senior scientists' essays trace the arc of a life: the gears of a toy car introduce the chain of cause and effect to artificial intelligence pioneer Seymour Papert; microscopes disclose the mystery of how things work to MIT President and neuroanatomist Susan Hockfield; architect Moshe Safdie describes how his boyhood fascination with steps, terraces, and the wax hexagons of beehives lead him to a life immersed in the complexities of design. The student essays tell stories that echo these narratives: plastic eggs in an Easter basket reveal the power of centripetal force; experiments with baking illuminate the geology of planets; LEGO bricks model worlds, carefully engineered and colonized. All of these voices--students and mentors-testify to the power of objects to awaken and inform young scientific minds. This is a truth that is simple, intuitive, and easily overlooked.

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.

Summary:
Le design institue un rapport ambivalent à notre culture matérielle. Il produit à la fois l'objet de série, fini et prêt à l'usage et le prototype mis en oeuvre au sein de l'enchevêtrement de croquis et de maquettes, comme matériau actif et ouvert de développement du geste inventif. Comment une même culture industrielle peut-elle induire deux rapports aux objets si différents ? En sondant les zones obscures qui les séparent, il s'agit de défricher une voie mineure dans la compréhension des pratiques de conception et d'engager un rapport renouvelé à la matérialité du monde. La zone obscure (LZO) de Vincent Beaubois interroge la discipline du design à l'aune de la conceptualité de Gilbert Simondon, l'un des rares philosophes français à s'être très tôt intéressé aux objets techniques. Beaubois s'oppose à une pensée majeure du design, d'essence industrielle, pour promouvoir au contraire une « pensée mineure du design » qui, contre l'idéologie du projet, privilégierait les notions de diagramme et de prototype. Il faudra donc « se défaire du design comme simple outil de développement pour en faire un vecteur d'intensification et de problématisation de notre rapport au monde ».

Summary:
A collection of timely new scholarship, ''Repair: Sustainable design futures'' investigates repair as a contemporary expression of empowerment, agency, and resistance to our unmaking of the world and the environment. Repair is an act, metaphor, and foundation for opening up a dialogue about design’s role in proposing radically different social, environmental, and economic futures. Thematically expansive and richly illustrated, with over 125 visuals, this volume features an international, interdisciplinary group of contributors from across the design spectrum whose voices and artwork speak to how we might address our broken social and physical worlds. Organized around reparative thinking and practices, the book includes 30 long and short chapters, photo essays, and interviews that focus on multiple responses to fractured systems, relationships, cities, architecture, objects, and more. ''Repair'' will encourage students, academics, researchers, and practitioners in art, design and architecture practice and theory, cultural studies, environment and sustainability, to discuss, engage, and rethink the act of repair and its impact on our society and environment.

Cet abécédaire croise les axes de réflexion autour d’une notion aussi galvaudée qu’insaisissable, mais qui, selon les quarante-trois contributions réunies ici, demeure au centre de nos préoccupations les plus actuelles et les plus vives. Mêlant à la fois une réflexion sur les termes attendus (Grèce, Style, Sublime, Vénus) et d’autres beaucoup plus insolites (Déchets, Robot, Chaos, Pieuvre), la beauté est présente comme un cadre structurant nos pensées mais également comme une lézarde, diffuse et souterraine, dans les interstices de toutes nos modalités d’existence.

Things make us just as much as we make things. And yet, unlike the study of languages or places, there is no discipline devoted to the study of material things. This book shows why it is time to acknowledge and confront this neglect and how much we can learn from focusing our attention on stuff. It presents the theories that are required to understand the way we are created by material as well as social relations. It takes us inside the very private worlds of our home possessions and our processes of accommodating. It considers issues of materiality in relation to the media, as well as the implications of such an approach in relation, for example, to poverty. Finally, the book considers objects which we use to define what it is to be alive and how we use objects to cope with death.
