Résumé:
Frédéric Metz explique comment le design influence notre vie quotidienne, souvent à notre insu. Pour mieux en saisir la définition, il présente des exemples concrets puisés dans notre environnement. Ainsi, en regardant de près une banale tasse blanche, on découvre qu'il y a 50 ans un designer réputé a pensé à ajouter en dessous trois petites encoches qui facilitent l'égouttement complet de l'eau à la sortie du lave-vaisselle. Une amélioration à peine perceptible qui montre que le bon design repose fréquemment sur d'infimes détails. Ces petites idées ingénieuses, basées sur de la simple logique, font toute la différence. Or, s'il y a de bons designs, il y a aussi de mauvais designs. Qui n'a pas cherché le bouton de sortie dans un ascenseur alors que la marche à suivre devrait être claire au premier coup d'oil ? Partout des indications contradictoires ou indéchiffrables nous font commettre des erreurs. Que ce soit un mode d'emploi, un panneau de signalisation ou un site web, les directives devraient être simples afin de nous procurer une expérience sans souci plutôt que frustrante. Résolument moderne, le design vise le travail bien fait, indémodable, intemporel, car un emballage attirant, un logo remarquable ou un objet conçu intelligemment ne perdent jamais de leur valeur.

Résumé:
Throughout his life Adolf Loos raised his eloquent voice against the squandering of fine materials, frivolous ornamentation and unnecessary embellishments. His admirers consider him to be the inspiration for all modern architecture. Yet, few are acquainted with his amusing, incisive, critical and philosophical literary work reflecting on applied design and the essence of clothing in fin de siècle Vienna. Adolf Loos often had a radical, yet innovative outlook on life that made him such a nuisance for many of his contemporaries. His provocative musings on many subjects portray him as a man of varied interests and intellectual refinement as well as possessing a keen sense of style, which still has value today. For the first time the ‘Loos Dress Code’ is available in English. Included is a short social/historical look as the birth of Modernism in Adolf Loos’ Vienna.

Résumé:
Pioneer of chaos mathematics, Edward Lorenz posited in his 1988 paper Unventions what the hell? the now accepted theory that unventions were a necessary reaction to humans getting all uppity with their big ideas. So what is an unvention? Some say unventions are simply everyday objects that are familiar to all. They are correct. But they are also wrong. Unventions tell new stories about the things around you releasing them from the mundane trudge of daily routine to take on epic new roles. When you begin to see them you are set free, and soon you will discover your own. Your mind has been in chains for too long! Unventionswill change your world forever.* *Largely in utterly useless ways

Résumé:
The environmental impact of interior architecture and design practice is immense. This book highlights the need for designers to adapt the way they work and relearn lessons that have been lost. Contrary to many preconceptions, sustainable design can be sophisticated and stylish. And by its nature, a sustainable approach means considering the whole life cycle of a project and therefore improving the functionality, quality, human enjoyment and, in the long term, bringing real social and economic benefits. This book has examples, techniques, and historical and contemporary case studies, all supported by useful resources and links. A comprehensive reference book for anyone wanting to work in this area, Sian Moxon aims to introduce these ideas to design students while they are formulating their understanding of the industry, encouraging and inspiring them with positive, creative and practical alternatives.

Résumé:
How do contemporary design practices engage with political and societal issues? Can design realize ideas that lead to significant change?

Some of the design world’s greatest practitioners, including architects, came together for a multi-faceted, three-year project sponsored by Iaspis. This book, the project’s culmination, comprises texts, interviews, drawings and other artwork in three sections: WHAT brings together contemporary and historical writings; HOW analyzes common issues and emerging tactics within socially and politically engaged design; and WHERE offers a broad perspective on new forms of design practice.
