Summary:
The goal of this collaborative, enthusiastic textbook on design history is to create a resource offering a diverse, inclusive view of graphic design history, specifically articulated through the student voice. Design History Reader was led by Kristen Coogan, Associate Professor of Art and Graphic Design at Boston University, who applies the department’s pluralistic approach to the topic. The case studies featured in this book are real-life examples from her students that demonstrate the practical, ubiquitous applications of design theory. They began as a curricular revision and evolved into a new form of design history pedagogy. Already a part of Boston University’s graphic design curriculum, this student-focused reader is an excellent choice for course adoption, or for the bookshelf of an independent aspiring designer.

Design is a process requiring both rigour and freedom; focus and expansion. Yet how does the concept - the 'intention' - become a built project? This accessible book acts as a storytelling toolkit, taking designers through a tried-and-tested process for taking an architectural project from thought to built project. Based around four main sections - Asking, Looking, Playing and Making - the authors show how a design process can generate beautiful buildings which are rooted in a sense of place. Further examples include a range of project types and scales to demonstrate the versatility of this toolkit.

What household belongings did people own in the 17th century? ''At Home in the 17th Century'' opens the door to everyday domestic life and brings the reader closer to the people of the time—from everyday objects such as combs and brooms used for personal care and household chores, to wedding rings and christening gifts that marked important life events. Instead of familiar idealized genre paintings, this book focuses on real life. Accompanying the eponymous exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, this book, designed by Irma Boom, includes commentary from several of the museum's curators delving into the world behind the paintings: the residents and the objects that surrounded them. What people left behind—furniture, utensils and even pottery fragments found in cesspools—gives a picture of how they furnished and used their homes. The result is an intimate look behind the front door of the 17th century—into a world that is sometimes surprisingly recognizable, but often radically different as well.
