Following twelve design experiments conceived by designers at IDEO, this book takes a voyeuristic look at what designers do daily, might get to do once, and sometimes only hope to do. Each experiment is made real through collaboration, sketching, prototyping, fabrication, and photographing to go beyond the conceptual to the curiously concrete.

Summary:
Né à l'aube du XXe siècle, le design a grandi dans un monde masculin, celui de l'industrie, des ingénieurs et des architectes. Les femmes ont longtemps été les grandes absentes du secteur. Certaines ont pourtant joué un rôle clé dans l'histoire du mobilier et plus largement de l'habitat. Entre Rodin et Camille Claudel, on sait aujourd'hui faire la différence. Peut-on en dire autant des pièces de Le Corbusier et de Charlotte Perriand ? Près d'un siècle plus tard, elles occupent le premier plan. Créatrices indépendantes, éditrices, galeristes, commissaires d'expositions, elles se sont emparées de la discipline à tous les niveaux. De Marianne Brandt, icône du Bauhaus, à Zaha Hadid en passant par Andrée Putman ou Matali Crasset, cet ouvrage passe en revue, à travers plus de 300 documents, les plus grands noms du design, de l'Art Nouveau à aujourd'hui.

Summary:
Computer covers many issues ignored by other histories of computing, which have focused on technology and the design and promotion of computers and their general reception. Here, Atkinson chronicles the changes in physical design of the computer and shows how these changes in design are related to changes in popular attitude. Atkinson is fascinated by how the computer has been represented and promoted in advertising. For example, in contrast to ads from the 1970s and ’80s, today’s PC is very PC—genderless, and largely status free. Computer also considers the role of the computer as a cultural touchstone, as evidenced by its regular appearance in popular culture, including the iconography of the space age, HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey, James Bond’s gadgetry, and Stars War and Star Trek.
