Résumé:
The Shakers - a religious community whose origins are founded in the eighteenth century - continue to exert an influence upon twenty-first century life, not for their religious teachings but rather through the simple, yet elegant aesthetic they developed for the everyday artefacts they designed for themselves. "Selling Shaker" aims to explore this influence and chart its evolution throughout the course of the twentieth century via the interest shown by the media, art institutions and general public in the Shaker story. Whilst other books have sought to examine the origins of the religious or aesthetic basis of the movement throughout the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, this book seeks to deal with the Shaker phenomenon from a different angle. "Selling Shaker" examines the means by which the Shakers have been 'promoted' during the course of the last century by scholars and museum academics, in order to establish a 'national' style. The book follows this process from high art to popular culture influences, illustrating how the Shaker style has entered the general design consciousness, and in doing so, has become a generic style largely divorced from the original Shaker aesthetic. Using a variety of sources ranging from museum catalogues to contemporary design magazines, "Selling Shaker" aims to tell the story of the rise and rise of the Shaker phenomenon.

Résumé:
In the Bubble is about a world based less on stuff and more on people. Thackara describes a transformation that is taking place now -- not in a remote science fiction future; it's not about, as he puts it, "the schlock of the new" but about radical innovation already emerging in daily life. We are regaining respect for what people can do that technology can't. In the(...)

Résumé:
In the Bubble is about a world based less on stuff and more on people. Thackara describes a transformation that is taking place now -- not in a remote science fiction future; it's not about, as he puts it, "the schlock of the new" but about radical innovation already emerging in daily life. We are regaining respect for what people can do that technology can't. In the Bubble describes services designed to help people carry out daily activities in new ways. Many of these services involve technology -- ranging from body implants to wide-bodied jets. But objects and systems play a supporting role in a people-centered world. The design focus is on services, not things. And new principles -- above all, lightness -- inform the way these services are designed and used. At the heart of In the Bubble is a belief, informed by a wealth of real-world examples, that ethics and responsibility can inform design decisions without impeding social and technical innovation.

Résumé:
Contemporary architecture is often characterized by the total interpenetration of interior and exterior configurations: the differentiation between these two dialectical poles has become indistinguishable, boundaries blurry and the result of any design process is a hybrid product, based on the superposition of different and heterogeneous layers. The impossibility of separating interior and exterior permits a general reorganisation of some topics internal to the territory of architecture, and also expresses the necessity of a systemic analysis of the most recent episodes. If at first glance this interest for a new kind of dialectics may appear as the most evident epiphenomenon of a wider and recent tendency, under careful examination one can observe that the tension between interior and exterior has always been present in architecture, differently articulated over the centuries, and expressed through several means of representation.

Résumé:
This book is a scientific anthology and a text mosaic on the modern interior, its origins and its historic development. In recent years, science has increasingly focused on the subject of the interior; this book investigates the subject from different perspectives, the resumé of a symposium at the Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna. Experts in the fields of architectural history, philosophy and psychology analyze the modern trend towards the individual design of interiors beyond fashion and good taste; the atelier and practice of Lucian and Sigmund Freud, the interiors in Proust's novels, Wittgenstein's house and Kiesler's Endless House.
