Résumé:
Dans cet ouvrage, Bruno Munari détruit le mythe de l’artiste vedette et lui substitue le personnage du designer. Ce recueil de textes brefs, accompagnés de croquis et d’illustrations, présente les diverses spécialisations du design : design visuel, design industriel, design graphique et design de recherche. Avec sa plume caustique, l’auteur se livre à des critiques impitoyables de la création de son époque, trop statique et trop complexe. Il appelle de ses vœux des formes en mouvement, en transformation et prône la simplicité et l’équilibre, se réclamant ainsi de l’esthétique asiatique.

Stuff, the hoard of minor objects which have shed their commodity glamor but which we refuse to recycle, flashes up in fiction, films and photographs as alluring, unruly reminder of how people and matter are intertwined.

Résumé:
Stuff, the hoard of minor objects which have shed their commodity glamor but which we refuse to recycle, flashes up in fiction, films and photographs as alluring, unruly reminder of how people and matter are intertwined. Stuff is modern materiality out of bounds that refuses to be contained by the western semiotic system. It declines its role as the eternal sidekick of the subject, and thus is the ideal basis for a counter-narrative of materiality in flux. Can such a narrative, developed by the new materialism, reinvigorate the classical materialist account of human alienation from commodities under capital? By shifting the discussion of materiality toward the aesthetic and the everyday, the book both embraces and challenges the project of new materialism. It argues that matter has a politics, and that its new plasticity offers a continued possibility of critique.

Résumé:
À la croisée de courants théoriques tels que la géographie critique et postmoderne, les pensées postcoloniales et décoloniales, Géoesthétique s’intéresse à la figure de l’artiste en géographe, en enquêteur investissant les champs disciplinaires de la géographie et de la cartographie comme terrains d’investigation épistémologique. L’ouvrage mobilise une analyse «géocritique» étudiant les représentations de l’espace dans les œuvres elles-mêmes, ainsi que celle, indissociable, d’une spatialisation de l’histoire de l’art et du langage curatorial, des contextes spatiaux dans lesquels les œuvres sont produites, circulent et sont valorisées (histoire horizontale de l’art, géohistoire de l’art, pensées de la mondialisation et du décentrement).

Résumé:
When planes crash, bridges collapse, and automobile gas tanks explode, we are quick to blame poor design. But Henry Petroski says we must look beyond design for causes and corrections. Known for his masterly explanations of engineering successes and failures, Petroski here takes his analysis a step further, to consider the larger context in which accidents occur. In To Forgive Design he surveys some of the most infamous failures of our time, from the 2007 Minneapolis bridge collapse and the toppling of a massive Shanghai apartment building in 2009 to Boston’s prolonged Big Dig and the 2010 Gulf oil spill. These avoidable disasters reveal the interdependency of people and machines within systems whose complex behavior was undreamt of by their designers, until it was too late.
