Summary:
How can a political or social movement create so many positive changes, while simultaneously developing negative connotations? Such is the central paradox of feminism for the editors of this book. The dwindling interest of students to continue an academic career after their studies has been called "cooling out" by Burton Clark. The collaborative exhibition project took this term to describe the disinterest of young women toward ideas and forms of feminism, resulting from a lack of palpable aims on the one hand, and the acceptance of existing structures on the other. The exhibition "Cooling Out" examined through the works of contemporary female and male artists the influences of the media, education, and existing social structures on the constitution of a gender identity.

Summary:
Architectural discourse today is characterized by an overlapping conversation between architects and academics, teachers and students, theorists and practitioners. Certain terms-"diagram, " "extreme form, " "autonomy, " and "the generic, " among others-capture the moment in architecture in definition and in operation. "Crib sheets" is a guide-a "crib"-to twenty-two of those buzzwords, framing contemporary currents and trajectories. Each of the words is presented with a list of quotations, or sound bites, arranged in order of length and drawn from more than two hundred commentators, from Charles Baudelaire, Le Corbusier, and Buckminster Fuller to Frank Gehry, Paul Goldberger, and Rem Koolhaas. The structure attempts to evoke the present-day architectural conversation, capturing social milieus, current events, clusters of topics, and even background noise and eavesdropping.

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.
