The Design of Material, Organism, and Minds: Different Understandings of Design de Silke Konsorski-Lang

The Design of Material, Organism, and Minds: Different Understandings of Design: X.media.publishing

Editat de Silke Konsorski-Lang, Michael Hampe
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 mai 2010
Design is eminent throughout different disciplines of science, engineering, humanities, and art. However, within these disciplines, the way in which the term design is understood and applied differs significantly. There still is a profound lack of interdisciplinary research on this issue. The same term is not even guaranteed to carry the same meaning as soon as one crosses over to other disciplines. Therefore, related synergies between disciplines remain largely unexplored and unexploited.This book will address design in the hope of promoting a deeper understanding of it across various disciplines, and to support Design Science as a discipline, which attempts to cover the vast number of currently isolated knowledge sources.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
“This book is a collection of essays on design … . The introduction … clearly outlines the objective of the book and summarizes the main points of each of the eleven chapters that follow. People with a general interest in design … want to look it up as an account of practitioners about their fields of expertise. … it might be found interesting by those who … seek an introduction to some of the diverse ways in which design manifests itself throughout our contemporary culture.” (Jorge Frascara, Information Design Journal, Vol. 18 (3), 2010)
“This set of papers attempts to create that concept through an eclectic set of examples: the design of the MINI automobile, computer games design, intelligent materials, drug design, architecture, and so on. … The chapters are written by different authors who clearly come from different backgrounds. This is good in terms of giving the book an interdisciplinary feel … . The individual chapters are interesting, and most have several brief case studies from the field at hand … .” (Joan Horvath, ACM Computing Reviews, January, 2011)
