Résumé:
Things make us just as much as we make things. And yet, unlike the study of languages or places, there is no discipline devoted to the study of material things. This book shows why it is time to acknowledge and confront this neglect and how much we can learn from focusing our attention on stuff. It presents the theories that are required to understand the way we are(...)

Résumé:
Things make us just as much as we make things. And yet, unlike the study of languages or places, there is no discipline devoted to the study of material things. This book shows why it is time to acknowledge and confront this neglect and how much we can learn from focusing our attention on stuff. It presents the theories that are required to understand the way we are created by material as well as social relations. It takes us inside the very private worlds of our home possessions and our processes of accommodating. It considers issues of materiality in relation to the media, as well as the implications of such an approach in relation, for example, to poverty. Finally, the book considers objects which we use to define what it is to be alive and how we use objects to cope with death.

Résumé:
"Limited Language" is a web-platform, co-founded in 2005 by Colin Davies (University of Wolverhampton) and Monika Parrinder (Royal College of Art, London), for generating writing and discussion about the design process. Over the last four years the site has collected a series of essays and commentary dealing with the key issues which effect and shape visual communication today. This book examines the relationship between traditional printed formats (the book) and new digital ones (blogging). Hybrid media forms are already transforming design. How might they be used to rethink design writing? Each of its sub-sections comprises an article from the website, followed by a reflection/response to the topic by the responses raised on limitedlanguage.org, while rich visual imagery in colour illustrates each article/response.

Résumé:
Castillo closely follows the course of this escalating rivalry between competing consumer cultures through the 1950s, concluding that the Soviet bloc's inability to make good on the claim that it could emulate goods and living standards offered by the West was a contributing factor in communism's eventual demise. Using a mosaic of sources ranging from recently declassified government documents to homemaking journals and popular fiction, this book contributes an engaging new perspective on midcentury modernist style and its political uses at the dawn of the cold war.

Designers at the ground-breaking firm IDEO the most innovative design company in the world push themselves to ask seemingly outrageous questions. Following twelve design experiments conceived by designers at IDEO, this book takes a voyeuristic look at what designers do daily, might get to do once, and sometimes only hope to do. Each experiment is made real through collaboration, sketching, prototyping, fabrication, and photographing to go beyond the conceptual to the curiously concrete.

Résumé:
Né à l'aube du XXe siècle, le design a grandi dans un monde masculin, celui de l'industrie, des ingénieurs et des architectes. Les femmes ont longtemps été les grandes absentes du secteur. Certaines ont pourtant joué un rôle clé dans l'histoire du mobilier et plus largement de l'habitat. Entre Rodin et Camille Claudel, on sait aujourd'hui faire la différence. Peut-on en dire autant des pièces de Le Corbusier et de Charlotte Perriand ? Près d'un siècle plus tard, elles occupent le premier plan. Créatrices indépendantes, éditrices, galeristes, commissaires d'expositions, elles se sont emparées de la discipline à tous les niveaux. De Marianne Brandt, icône du Bauhaus, à Zaha Hadid en passant par Andrée Putman ou Matali Crasset, cet ouvrage passe en revue, à travers plus de 300 documents, les plus grands noms du design, de l'Art Nouveau à aujourd'hui.
