An art-based approach supporting an open exploration of distortion and formlessness. A cross-disciplinary exploratory approach concerned with aesthetic experiences shared in laborations demonstrating complexity and transformation. The thesis offers methods and models that both support and challenge the normative concepts of beauty, with high relevance for teaching 3-D formgiving aesthetics and research by design methodologies.

Summary:
This book provides essential introductory information for designers and interior designers. From the realm of interior design, for example, it deals with ceilings, floors, doors, windows, stairs, etc., from that of material science, with carpets, wallpaper, wall paint, glass, wood materials, stone, and concrete. It also presents architectural drawing: techniques of representation, descriptive geometry, technical drawing, standard dimensions, signs and symbols, and mathematical foundations; attention is also given to the fundamentals of graphic design, preparing documents for publication, file formats, and color systems. All of this is generously leavened with practical examples; original essays by Ruedi Baur, Axel Kufus, Norbert Rademacher, Martin Kunz, and others; and thought-provoking quotations. If they want to, readers may separate the pages of the Japanese binding, this way they get room to add their personal notes and comments.

Summary:
In his book, Barry Allen develops the philosophical implications of a series of interrelated concepts - knowledge, artifact, design, tool, art, and technology - and uses them to explore parallel questions about artistry in technology and technics in art. This may be seen at the heart of "Artifice and design" in Allen's discussion of seven bridges : he focuses at length on(...)

Summary:
In his book, Barry Allen develops the philosophical implications of a series of interrelated concepts - knowledge, artifact, design, tool, art, and technology - and uses them to explore parallel questions about artistry in technology and technics in art. This may be seen at the heart of "Artifice and design" in Allen's discussion of seven bridges : he focuses at length on two New York bridges — the Hell Gate Bridge and the Bayonne Bridge — and makes use of original sources for insight into the designers' ideas about the aesthetic dimensions of their work. Allen starts from the conviction that art and technology must be treated together, as two aspects of a common, technical human nature. The topics covered in "Artifice and design" are wide-ranging and interdisciplinary, drawing from evolutionary biology, cognitive psychology, and the history and anthropology of art and technology. The book concludes that it is a mistake to think of Art as something subjective, or as an arbitrary social representation, and of Technology as an instrumental form of purposive rationality.

Summary:
Design has always prided itself on being relevant to the world it serves, but interest in design was once limited to a small community of design professionals. Today, books on “design thinking” are best sellers, and computer and Web-based tools have expanded the definition of who practices design. Looking at objects, letterforms, experiences, and even theatrical performances, award-winning author Jessica Helfand asserts that understanding design's purpose is more crucial than ever. Design is meaningful not because it is pretty but because it is an intrinsically humanist discipline, tethered to the very core of why we exist. For example, as designers collaborate with developing nations on everything from more affordable lawn mowers to cleaner drinking water, they must take into consideration the full range of a given community’s complex social needs. Advancing a conversation that is unfolding around the globe, Helfand offers an eye-opening look at how designed things make us feel as well as how—and why—they motivate our behavior.
