Summary:
Bernhard Bürdek traces the progress of design from its beginnings in the late 19th century, through the most significant movements of the 20th century, and up to recent developments in biological engineering which will shape the 21st century. Design is now a discipline in its own right and its expertise can be incorporated into interdisciplinary processes. The most important and fundamental principles of design theory and methodology are presented, with emphasis on the communicative function of products, corporate and service design, design management, strategic design, interface/interaction design, and human design.

Summary:
A quirky trend of building designs inspired by bizarre animals has emerged in the last few years. Why and how has this happened? Is it because of new technical possibilities in materials and structural engineering? Or is the answer to be found in new social preoccupations in science? After a brief look at the historical precedents, the book focuses on contemporary(...)

Summary:
Basics Loadbearing Systems bridges the fields of architecture and civil engineering and explains the fundamentals of loadbearing structure theory simply, comprehensibly and choronologically. To help general understanding, the author first explains the loads and forces occuring in a building using examples and simple contexts. He introduces typical loadbearing structural elements and shows loadbearing systems and structures for the different building types that planners can use for their designs. The compact knowledge conveyed here makes it possible for students to work with loadbearing structures in an integrated way, and thus be able to design creatively.

How can architecture create a pleasant indoor climate using construction techniques and as little technology as possible? Researchers from four different departments at the Technical University of Munich joined forces with the engineering firm Transsolar Energietechnik to explore integral strategies for simple, energy-efficient construction. The architecture firm Florian Nagler Architekten implemented the plans developed by the TUM project for three prototype buildings made of solid wood, masonry and lightweight concrete in monolithic construction. Using these apartment buildings as examples, the guide vividly elucidates the six core principles of simple construction.

The geological strata we are now creating record industrial emissions, industrial-scale crop pollens, and the disappearance of species driven to extinction. Climate change is planetary engineering without design. These facts of the Anthropocene are scientific, but its shape and meaning are questions for politics—a politics that does not yet exist. After Nature develops a politics for this post-natural world.
