Résumé:
"Design Culture Now" is the first survey of American design to cut across the disciplines of architecture, product design, and graphic design. This comprehensive work, organized by the Smithsonian's National Design Museum, catalogues the best in architecture, interiors, environments, landscapes, products, furniture, fashion, objects, typefaces, posters, publications, film graphics, and interactive media produced over the last three years. Organized around a series of themes -- Branded, Fluid, Local, Minimal, Narrative, Physical, Reclaimed, and Unbelievable -- "Design Culture Now" presents current projects by up-and-coming designers who are forging new ideas at the margins of the profession as well as established masters whose work continues to evolve. Some of the over 80 individuals and firms whose work is repre-sented include Kyle Cooper, who created the titles for the films "Seven", "The Mummy", and "Mission: Impossible"; graphic designers Bruce Mau and Stefan Sagmeister; Jonathan Ive, designer of the iMac; style guru Martha Stewart; Arlen and Cory Ness, customizers of Harley-Davidson motorcycles; Julie Taymor, director and designer of the Broadway musical "The Lion King"; architects Neil Denari and Frank Gehry; Dante Ferretti, art director of the films Kundun and Casino; fashion designers Kate Spade and Geoffrey Beene; and John Kricfalusi, creator of the cartoon "Ren & Stimpy". Authoritative essays by Donald Albrecht, Ellen Lupton, and Steven Skov Holt describe the state of design at the beginning of the new millennium. Vibrantly designed, this exhaustive survey includes hundreds of full-colour images.

Résumé:
What does it mean to design experiences? Traditional design practices invite us to design things, and to use those things to solve problems. But experience is not a problem; it is life. Experience designers engage with unpredictability and the unknown, partnering with their audiences to generate possibility and relationality. Experience designers create worlds, craft narratives that leave the page and enter people’s lives, and structure transformation. In this book, Burickson lays out ten basic principles for this emerging practice. "Experience design: a participatory manifesto" invites the reader to stop making things and, instead, to craft the minutes and hours of human life. Rigorous and philosophical, the book guides the reader through the processes of empathic research; constructing worlds not just for fantasy fiction but in schools, communities, homes; and mastering the tools necessary to work coherently across disciplines to create new experiences. Whether you are a maker of immersive theater, an architect, a graphic designer, a community organizer, or just someone hoping to give a better gift, this book offers a vision of creating that is both new and as old as civilization.
