Summary:
At the turn of the last century, the Arts and Crafts movement transformed not only how objects looked but also how people looked at objects. It provided a framework for essential issues that are still debated today: the conflict between standardization and individuality, the question of whether a one-of-a-kind handcrafted object is superior to a mass-produced one, and the problem of defining what kind of design most benefits society. The book features masterworks by the best-known designers of the period, such as William Morris, M. H. Baillie Scott, Henry Van de Velde, Peter Behrens, Josef Hoffmann, Eliel Saarinen, Greene and Greene, and Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as lesser-known examples that have never been displayed together before.

Summary:
Kristin Ross’s new work on the thought and culture of the Communard uprising of 1871 resonates with the motivations and actions of contemporary protest, which has found its most powerful expression in the reclamation of public space. Today’s concerns —internationalism, education, the future of labor, the status of art, and ecological theory and practice — frame and inform her carefully researched restaging of the words and actions of individual Communards. This analysis of an event and its centrifugal effects brings to life the workers in Paris who became revolutionaries, the significance they attributed to their struggle, and the elaboration and continuation of their thought in the encounters that transpired between the insurrection’s survivors and supporters like Marx, Kropotkin, and William Morris.

Summary:
"The Origin of Things" is an international survey of the history of design from William Morris to Rem Koolhaas. Giving examples of around thirty case studies, it illuminates the process through which designers transform their often-groundbreaking ideas into products. In the context of this book, drawings, cardboard models stuck together with tape and ultramodern computer animations are more significant than the finished products. The more historical examples are by Theodor Bogler, H.P. Berlage, Frank Lloyd Wright and Gerrit Rietveld. Dutch design is represented by Wim Gilles, Kho Liang Ie, Aart Roelandt, Hella Jongerius, Marcel Wanders and Dick van Hoff. There are international highlights from the oeuvres of Richard Buckminster Fuller, Verner Panton, Poul Henningsen, Tapio Wirkkala, Mario Bellini, Michele de Lucchi, James Dyson, Jasper Morrison, Marc Newson and Konstantin Grcic.

Author and architect David Cole presents the 100 great Arts and Crafts houses, each individually described and analysed with insightful detail and floor plans, and illustrated with stunning photography. Beginning with Morris’s own iconic Red House, the book traces the fifty-year span of the movement, with a short chapter dedicated to each of these extraordinary houses: from the works of the pioneer Arts and Crafts architects, to the great reformer architects of the next generation, to the craftsman architects who took their lives and their work to the countryside, to the movement’s Scottish architects, and finally to the houses of the Garden Cities and suburbs built through the movement’s last decade before the First World War.

Summary:
Today, we live in an economic system that revolves around producing and consuming objects made of plastic and metal, electronics, synthetic textiles and other things that do not decompose within a foreseeable amount of time. We start to review the role of these objects in a series of challenges that lie ahead of us. In the design discipline, sustainability and social responsibility have become prolific epithets, generating new products, materials, and technologies, designed to change the course of our future. The intrinsic design ideologies are often not new, but form a fundamental part of design history, reappearing throughout the previous centuries. This book presents a history of socially committed design strategies within the western design tradition, from William Morris to Victor Papanek, and from VKhUTEMAS to FabLab. A critical resource for designers, students, cultural critics, and anyone interested in building a sustainable future.
