Résumé:
This book is not a dictionary, though it tells you all you need know about everything from Authenticity to Zips. It's not an autobiography, though it does offer a revealing and highly personal inside view of contemporary culture. It's an essential tool kit for understanding the world around us. It's about what makes a Warhol a genuine fake; the creation of national identities; the mania to collect. It's also about the city as seen from the rear view mirror of Grand Theft Auto V; digital ornament and why we value imperfection. It's about drinking a bruisingly dry martini in Adolf Loo's American bar in Vienna, and about Hitchcock's film sets. It's about the modern world of fashion, technology, design and art.

Résumé:
In the mid-twentieth century, Henry Dreyfuss, widely considered the father of industrial design, pioneered a user-centered approach to design that focuses on studying people's behaviors and attitudes as a key first step in developing successful products. In the intervening years, user-centered design has expanded to undertake the needs of differently abled users and global populations as well as the design of complex systems and services. Beautiful Users explores the changing relationship between designers and users and considers a range of design methodologies and practices, from user research to hacking, open source, and the maker culture.

Résumé:
One of the seminal texts of graphic design, Paul Rand's Thoughts on Design is now back in print for the first time since the 1970s. Writing at the height of his career, Rand articulated in his slender volume the pioneering vision that all design should seamlessly integrate form and function. This facsimile edition preserves Rand's original 1947 essay with the adjustments he made to its text and imagery for a revised printing in 1970, and adds only an informative and inspiring new foreword by design luminary Michael Bierut. As relevant today as it was when first published, this classic treatise is an indispensable addition to the library of every designer.

Has the wide availability of knowledge and information, small-scale industrial applications, simplified tools and computer applications led to the obsolescence of the (design) expert? Who then is the designer: the amateur or the expert? The boundaries are certainly fading – so what(...)

Has the consumer displaced the designer, or is the idea of 'open design' just an illusion? Has the wide availability of knowledge and information, small-scale industrial applications, simplified tools and computer applications led to the obsolescence of the (design) expert? Who then is the designer: the amateur or the expert? The boundaries are certainly fading – so what makes these particular designers distinctive and to what could that be attributed? We Can Make It If We Try wants to discuss role as designers. Four designers present production possibilities and tools that demand our input. The effectiveness of these structures, what we can do with them, that is up to you…

Résumé:
Conceived by Atelier Hoko, this booklet approaches uncovering implicit conditions that exist in our experience of the everyday. The term “secondary” refers to material and immaterial conditions and sensations that humans are not conscious of in their interaction with things and the immediate surroundings. In so doing, the independent research lab hopes to draw upon a renewed sensibility towards living. This instalment analyses the act of drinking from a cup in exceeding detail, through photos, diagrams and texts. Atelier Hoko developed this programme in response to questions on how design today can move beyond its perceived perimeters.

Résumé:
Ce quatrième titre de la collection « :T » est un témoignage de l’expérience de Bruno Munari en tant que professeur. Le designer italien, célèbre pour ses œuvres inventives et libres, ses ouvrages pour adultes et enfants, et sa défense d’une création épurée et en mouvement, a en effet donné en 1967 un cours de communication visuelle à Harvard. La première partie de ce livre reproduit les lettres qu’il écrivait durant cette période à un quotidien milanais, y racontant avec humour son expérience d’« expatrié » et avec pédagogie son quotidien de professeur. La seconde partie reproduit ce qui servit de base au cours dispensé par Munari : des notes, des exemples, des schémas, etc. L’œuvre professorale de Munari mérite d’être découverte pour sa simplicité, sa plume alerte et les points de vue qu’elle défend. L’auteur y prône une vision pragmatique de l’enseignement, qui refuse toute prétention ou conceptualisation vaniteuse pour se tourner vers des réflexions sensées et utiles à la pratique future des designers et créateurs graphiques.
