Résumé:
Wabi-sabi est la quintessence de l'esthétique japonaise. Wabi-sabi est la beauté des choses imparfaites, impermanentes et incomplètes. C'est la beauté des choses modestes et humbles. C'est la beauté des choses atypiques... Développé par les maîtres japonais du thé, wabi-sabi est au coeur des divers arts traditionnels japonais - art floral, calligraphie, architecture, poterie, jardins. Il renvoie à l'âme profonde du Japon imprégnée de bouddhisme zen. Dans son sens le plus étroit, c'est un type particulier de beauté. Dans son acceptation la plus large, c'est un mode de vie.

Résumé:
While the overhaul of higher education linked to the Bologna process encouraged the development of design research in art schools, this interest pre-existed in design agencies which were quick to produce surveys in various forms. In this essay, Nicolas Nova synthesises the main specificities of this type of approach and demonstrates how it escapes the academic canon. Indeed, design research is an expanding field, which produces knowledge in a wide variety of forms: texts, drawings, prototypes, interfaces, etc.

Résumé:
Lars Lerup's conceptual explorations as a designer and thinker have been inspired by philosophers and artists from Foucault to Beckett. Lerup's furniture designs elude consumer culture. They conform neither to what is commonly understood as useful nor to what is typically regarded as necessary. They question the assumed functions of furniture and, at the same time, their assigned place in space. His pieces interrogate their roles and positions and introduce a disturbing or at least disconcerting note to conventional floor plans. This autobiography of a design project is about rendering visible the consumerism that is driving the current economically motivated expansion of our cities, and dealing with the consequences for the environment and society.

Résumé:
With this book, author Henry Petroski delves into the ongoing physical interaction between people and things that enables them to stay put or causes them to move. He explores the range of daily human experience whereby we feel the sensations of push and pull, resistance and assistance. The book is also about metaphorical force, which manifests itself as pressure and relief, achievement and defeat. Petroski draws from a variety of disciplines to make the case that force—represented especially by our sense of touch—is a unifying principle that pervades our lives. In the wake of a prolonged global pandemic that increasingly cautioned us about contact with the physical world, Petroski offers a new perspective on the importance of the sensation and power of touch.

La communication visuelle constitue aujourd'hui une partie fondamentale de notre expérience quotidienne. Les affiches dans la rue, les campagnes publicitaires, les images qui circulent entre nouveaux médias et médias traditionnels alimentent nos imaginaires, nos valeurs et nos actions. La sémiologue Giorgia Aiello nous propose une lecture engagée des images dans lesquelles nous sommes immergées au jour le jour. Les textes qui sont réunis dans cet ouvrage visent à complexifier nos visions et compréhensions des paysages sémiotiques qui peuplent nos espaces urbains. A travers l'analyse de différents exemples, de Starbucks à Getty Images, de Magnum Photo à Manifattura Tabacchi à Bologne, l'autrice nous propose une approche critique de l'esthétique mondialiste contemporaine.

Résumé:
Scandinavia is famous for its design culture, and for its pioneering efforts toward a sustainable future. In this volume, Kjetil Fallan shows how these two forces came together in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Scandinavian designers began to question the endless cycle in which designed objects are produced, consumed, discarded, and replaced in quick succession. The emergence of ecological design in Scandinavia at the height of the popular environmental movement, Fallan suggests, illuminates a little-known reciprocity between environmentalism and design: not only did design play a role in the rise of modern environmentalism, but ecological thinking influenced the transformation in design culture in Scandinavia and beyond that began as the modernist faith in progress and prosperity waned.

Résumé:
Renowned philosopher Susan Buck-Morss collaborates with Kevin McCaughey of Boot Boyz Biz and Adam Michaels of Inventory Press on this experimental image-text renewal of McLuhan, Berger and Benjamin. "Seeing <—> Making: Room for thought" both studies and presents the creative process of constructing ideas with images. By activating the techniques of montage and analogy, the book reveals a wide field of view and a space to engage new critical connections between a multiplicity of objects from the past and present. Realized through an intergenerational collaboration of three cultural producers committed to making theory visible, a transformative anthology of critical essays by Susan Buck-Morss anchors this kaleidoscopic project. Images and ideas sync with Buck-Morss’ perceptive texts on visual culture, history, politics and aesthetics, fusing criticism with visual play and linking collective imagination and social action. In both design and content, "Seeing <—> Making: Room for thought" builds upon the dynamic sensorium of Marshall McLuhan and Quentin Fiore's book "The medium is the massage", Walter Benjamin's "Arcades" Project and John Berger's "Ways of seeing". This innovative volume brings Buck-Morss’ more experimental, visually engaged work to the fore in a way that has not been available in the usual contexts within which her writing has appeared.

Résumé:
Le design institue un rapport ambivalent à notre culture matérielle. Il produit à la fois l'objet de série, fini et prêt à l'usage et le prototype mis en oeuvre au sein de l'enchevêtrement de croquis et de maquettes, comme matériau actif et ouvert de développement du geste inventif. Comment une même culture industrielle peut-elle induire deux rapports aux objets si différents ? En sondant les zones obscures qui les séparent, il s'agit de défricher une voie mineure dans la compréhension des pratiques de conception et d'engager un rapport renouvelé à la matérialité du monde. La zone obscure (LZO) de Vincent Beaubois interroge la discipline du design à l'aune de la conceptualité de Gilbert Simondon, l'un des rares philosophes français à s'être très tôt intéressé aux objets techniques. Beaubois s'oppose à une pensée majeure du design, d'essence industrielle, pour promouvoir au contraire une « pensée mineure du design » qui, contre l'idéologie du projet, privilégierait les notions de diagramme et de prototype. Il faudra donc « se défaire du design comme simple outil de développement pour en faire un vecteur d'intensification et de problématisation de notre rapport au monde ».

Résumé:
A collection of timely new scholarship, ''Repair: Sustainable design futures'' investigates repair as a contemporary expression of empowerment, agency, and resistance to our unmaking of the world and the environment. Repair is an act, metaphor, and foundation for opening up a dialogue about design’s role in proposing radically different social, environmental, and economic futures. Thematically expansive and richly illustrated, with over 125 visuals, this volume features an international, interdisciplinary group of contributors from across the design spectrum whose voices and artwork speak to how we might address our broken social and physical worlds. Organized around reparative thinking and practices, the book includes 30 long and short chapters, photo essays, and interviews that focus on multiple responses to fractured systems, relationships, cities, architecture, objects, and more. ''Repair'' will encourage students, academics, researchers, and practitioners in art, design and architecture practice and theory, cultural studies, environment and sustainability, to discuss, engage, and rethink the act of repair and its impact on our society and environment.
