Summary:
In a changing world everyone designs: each individual person and each collective subject, from enterprises to institutions, from communities to cities and regions, must define and enhance a life project. Sometimes these projects generate unprecedented solutions; sometimes they converge on common goals and realize larger transformations. As Ezio Manzini describes in this book, we are witnessing a wave of social innovations as these changes unfold—an expansive open co-design process in which new solutions are suggested and new meanings are created.

Summary:
Hanezawa Garden is a walled garden in Tokyo, between thick foliage, slender bamboo and semi-inhabited outhouses, their plastic roofs heavy with leaves, as if reclaimed by the jealous trees.

Objects in This Mirror presents a polemical defense of intellectual and cultural generalism and curiosity. The collection of essays rewardingly navigates diverse subjects ranging from the writings of W. G. Sebald and Roland Barthes to the history of manuals for tying a cravat and the search for a cure to the common cold. Staying true to the idea of the essay as a self-aware but generous literary and critical form, this book explores the variety of topics within the rubric of art writing or criticism.
