Design Culture: Objects and Approaches

Editat de Guy Julier, Mads Nygaard Folkmann, Niels Peter Skou, Hans-Christian Jensen, Anders V. Munch
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 feb 2021
Design culture foregrounds the relationships between the domains of design practice, design production and everyday life. Its focus is on contemporary designed objects and the networks between the multiple actors engaged in their shaping, functioning and reproduction. It acknowledges the rise of design and the role of the designer as key components and key challenges of the modern world.

Featuring an impressive range of international case studies, ranging from examples of everyday design such as IKEA furniture and amateur graphic design, to the role of the design professional and the functioning of design within organisations, Design Culture interrogates what this emergent discipline is, its methodologies, its scope and its relationships with other fields of study. The volume's interdisciplinary approach brings fresh thinking to this fast-evolving field of study.

Recenzii

Offers the reader an excellent deep dive into the concepts of design culturing in a very accessible way ... Overall this authoritative book instills a great sense of the many attributes and values of design culture.
Reinvigorates the study of design by offering an alternative to other cross-disciplinary terms such as 'design studies' or 'design thinking'.
This stimulating introduction to the approaches and ideas which inform design culture should do much to promote new ways of thinking about both design and culture, and the dialectic between them.
Design Culture is an essential contribution to the field of design studies. It addresses the ubiquity of the term 'design' from a cross sectional perspective, while introducing a precise, conceptual and methodological focus.
A stimulating, must-read overview of the interdisciplinary debates around Design Culture as a discipline and object of study for all those interested in the phenomenon of Design.
Design Culture manages to break through the noise, providing an enlightening view of design as a dominating feature of everyday life. From the influence of Turkish paper doilies to the rise of the global sex toy industry, it gives a multi-layered account of seemingly insignificant designs. Filled as it is with impressive philosophical insights and amusing historical connections, Design Culture offers much to ponder. Indeed, designers, historians as well as many non-specialists will find this book both enriching and enjoyable.
Designers often claim they seek to "improve or maintain the habitability of the world of their fellow citizen". Design Culture may well be the appropriate theoretical framework I am longing for to better understand and explain what "habitability" is about.
