Résumé:
''Digital Design Theory'' bridges the gap between the discourse of print design and interactive experience by examining the impact of computation on the field of design. As graphic design moves from the creation of closed, static objects to the development of open, interactive frameworks, designers seek to understand their own rapidly shifting profession. Helen Armstrong's carefully curated introduction to groundbreaking primary texts, from the 1960s to the present, provides the background necessary for an understanding of digital design vocabulary and thought.

Résumé:
Design has always prided itself on being relevant to the world it serves, but interest in design was once limited to a small community of design professionals. Today, books on “design thinking” are best sellers, and computer and Web-based tools have expanded the definition of who practices design. Looking at objects, letterforms, experiences, and even theatrical performances, award-winning author Jessica Helfand asserts that understanding design's purpose is more crucial than ever. Design is meaningful not because it is pretty but because it is an intrinsically humanist discipline, tethered to the very core of why we exist. For example, as designers collaborate with developing nations on everything from more affordable lawn mowers to cleaner drinking water, they must take into consideration the full range of a given community’s complex social needs. Advancing a conversation that is unfolding around the globe, Helfand offers an eye-opening look at how designed things make us feel as well as how—and why—they motivate our behavior.

Soyons honnêtes, nous avons tous connu des échecs. Peut-être pas de gros échecs, mais nous nous sommes tous déjà plantés. Si l'on en croit la sagesse populaire, l'échec, qu'il s'agisse d'une petite bévue, d'un fiasco total ou d'un ratage situé dans l'entre-deux, est de mauvais augure.

Résumé:
After the first EP volume on the activities of the early Italian avant-garde, the second volume in the series identifies the current fascination with fiction across art, design, and architecture. Practitioners and theorists explore this strategy by pushing the debate into both speculative and real-fictitious terrains. Newly commissioned interviews, artist projects, and essays shed light on topics such as parafiction and algorithmic ambiguity. Included in the volume is one of the final interviews to be published with novelist and semiotician Umberto Eco; a conversation with Bruce Sterling, in which the science-fiction author responds to designers who reference his writings; and design theorist Vilém Flusser's 1966 essay ''On Fiction,'' in its first English translation. The EP series fluidly moves between art, design, and architecture, and introduces the notion of the ''extended play'' into publishing, with thematically edited pocket books as median between popular magazines (''single play'') and academic journals (''long play'').

Young people ambitious to change the world and unhinge the rules holding it together, enjoying poking fun at it a little, respectfully but bravely, even daring to bring about 'revolution', but 'without anybody actually noticing', as the master Bruno Munari would have pointed out with a smile. And as our King Midas of communication and design, who would really be at home here with these people, would have said, the healthy rule that now needs to be applied much more often and with greater clarity is that of breaking them (the rules) in order to move beyond them.

Résumé:
Form and Formlessness is an experimental research project that investigates how aesthetic abstractions are developed through three approaches: An educational approach concerned with developing an aesthetic discipline, supporting a formgiving process aimed to create tangible artifacts. An art-based approach supporting an open exploration of distortion and formlessness. A cross-disciplinary exploratory approach concerned with aesthetic experiences shared in laborations demonstrating complexity and transformation. The thesis offers methods and models that both support and challenge the normative concepts of beauty, with high relevance for teaching 3-D formgiving aesthetics and research by design methodologies.
