Responding to Chaos: Tradition, Technology, Society and Order in Japanese Design

Autor David N Buck
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 dec 2000
A celebration of a unique culture and its experience of design, this sensitive text is a timely examination of Japanese design at the start of a new century. The country's economic boom in the 1980s produced a surge of interest in land and building, and consequently in design in all its forms. From restaurant interiors to products, from private housing to recreational spaces, design received an unprecedented degree of attention. However the bursting in the early 1990s of this so-called 'bubble' economy has prompted a re-examination of design and its role in urban society.

Recenzii

'This is a thoughtfully written exploration of a unique culture and its current response to many aspects of design - architecture, landscape and product - the component parts of a 21st century, mainly urban environment.' Landscape Design

'This is the real value of Buck's book, in that it gives the English-language audience access to the work and thoughts of a number of fascinating designers who, despite their significance in Japan, seldom attract the attention of the international design press.' - Japan - People, Power and Opinion
