Summary:
For generations, world-leading German prosthetics company Ottobock has been restoring mobility to people and developing wearable bionics to mobilize the human body. Published on the centenary of Ottobock, this book presents the future of human mobility as envisioned by Hans Georg Näder, chairman of the company and grandson of its founder. What roles will digitalization, robotics, prostheses, artificial intelligence and the imagination play in how we optimize and employ our bodies, and shape the development of humanity? Conceived and realized by Thomas Huber, with photos by Christoph Neumann, 'Futuring Human Mobility' explores these questions and their philosophical, ethical, social, economic and medical implications in our changing global community, and incorporates interviews, essays, short stories and artwork by 40 international experts including David Chipperfield, Philipp Craven, EVA & ADELE, Yuval Noah Harari, Hugh Herr, Hiroshi Ishiguro, Chandran Nair, Carsten Nicolai, Neo Rauch, Wolfgang Schäuble, Kevin Warwick and Ranga Yogeshwar.

Summary:
Quand les hommes se sont-ils mis à porter des bijoux ou jouer de la musique ? Quand les vaches ont-elles été domestiquées et pourquoi donnons-nous leur lait à nos enfants ? Où sont nées les premières villes et à quoi devons-nous leur triomphe ? Qui a développé les mathématiques – ou a inventé la monnaie ? L'Histoire de l’humanité est une histoire d'invention et d'innovation : nous avons continuellement créé, utilisé ou admiré de nouveaux objets. Avec ce livre, Neil MacGregor dresse un portrait inattendu de l'évolution humaine. Il démontre le pouvoir qu'ont les choses de nous connecter avec une incomparable immédiateté à des hommes très éloignés dans l'espace et dans le temps, et de permettre à toute l'humanité d'avoir une voix dans notre histoire commune.

Summary:
Designers today are striving to transform our relationship with the natural world. Although humans are intrinsically linked to nature, our actions have frayed this relationship, forcing designers to think more intentionally and to consider the impact of every design decision, from an artifact's manufacture and use to its obsolescence. As a result, designers are aligning with biologists, engineers, agriculturists, environmentalists and many other specialists to design a more harmonious and regenerative future. Based on these new partnerships, designers are asking different questions and anticipating future challenges, which not only change the design process, but also what design means.
