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.

How do contemporary design practices engage with political and societal issues? Can design realize ideas that lead to significant change? Where would the change happen: in the design studio, on the factory floor, in exhibition settings or on the street? 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. Featuring facsimiles of 36 projects from the Design Act archive, this rich book is a must-have for designers who care about their role in the wider world.

Résumé:
A new edition of one of the most widely read books on modern design Nikolaus Pevsner's landmark work was first published in 1936. Pevsner saw Modernism as a synthesis of three main sources: William Morris and his followers; the work of the 19th-century engineers; and Art Nouveau. All these form the essential background to the work of the early Modernists, with their(...)

Pevsner saw Modernism as a synthesis of three main sources: William Morris and his followers; the work of the 19th-century engineers; and Art Nouveau. All these form the essential background to the work of the early Modernists, with their rejection of ornament, their use of new materials and their commitment to "utility" and the machine age. Pevsner looks at the early masters of the movement, such as Voysey and Rennie Mackintosh in Britain; Sullivan and Lloyd Wright in America; and Loos and Wagner in Vienna, ending in 1914, with Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus movement representing design's most radical break with the past.

Car on oublie de dire que, dans bien des cas, le remède peut s'avérer pire que le mal... Partant de ce constat médical qui se développe particulièrement dans les années 1930, cet ouvrage d'archéologie visuelle creuse une logique de pensée, simple, mais oubliée ou occultée, selon laquelle les techniques compensatoires se retournent en fait contre ce qu'elles sont censées suppléer. Une telle façon de penser est largement soumise aux fantasmes : Breughel, Callot, Rowlandson, Degas, Hoffmann, Poe, Huxley ou même le Dr Bates ont développé, chacun à leur manière, une méfiance à l'égard des lunettes. Mais ces fantasmes, à l'égal de la caricature ou du lieu commun, nous rappellent à tous, en définitive, que ces " précieuses béquilles " ne constituent pas toujours une seconde nature. À travers l'histoire des lunettes et de leur représentation, c'est donc à une véritable réflexion sur la notion de prothèse que nous convie cet ouvrage. Et, à travers la science, la sociologie, l'histoire, la littérature et l'art, ces lentilles philosophiques nous révèlent donc quelque chose de notre rapport au monde.

Résumé:
In this text, Brenner, Peck and Theodore question the claim that neoliberalism has ended in the wake of the global economic crisis that began in September of 2008. The authors argue that this assumption rests upon an inadequate understanding of the reach and tenacity of the crisis-induced, market-disciplinary forms of regulatory restructuring that have accompanied the neoliberalisation of cities, regions and states across the world. In contrast with the over-simplified, monolithic conceptualisations of the global economy that prevail in many popular and academic accounts, the authors emphasise the constitutively uneven, institutionally hybrid and chronically unstable character of neoliberalism. For urban designers, planners and activists working to promote more socially just and democratic forms of urbanism, Brenner, Peck and Theodore insist on the need to radically restructure the macroinstitutional "rules of the game" that variously encourage and disallow localities, cities and regions to adapt to market-based approaches to (re)investment, collective-goods provisioning, and social reproduction. "Absent this", they argue, "the potential of progressive postneoliberal projects will continue to be frustrated by the dead hand of market rule".

Haverkamp brings together for the first time precisely those aspects of this fundamental knowledge that are specifically relevant for designers.
