Reintroducing Materials for Sustainable Design Design Process and Educational Practice

Reintroducing Materials for Sustainable Design Design Process and Educational Practice

Reintroducing Materials for Sustainable Design provides instrumental theory and practical guidance to bring materials back into a central role in the design process and education. To create designs that are sustainable and respond to current environmental economic and cultural concerns practitioners and educators require a clear framework for materials use in design and product manufacturing. While much has been written about sustainable design over the last two decades outlining systems of sustainability and product criteria to design for material circularity requires a detailed understanding of the physical matter that constitutes products. Designers must not just know of materials but know how to manipulate them and work with them creatively. This book responds to the gap by offering a way to acquire the material knowledge necessary to design physical objects for sustainability. It reinforces the key role and responsibility of designers and encourages designers to take back control over the ideation and manufacturing process. Finally it discusses the educational practice involved and the potential implications for design education following implementation addressing didactics facilities and expertise. This guide is a must-read for designers educators and researchers engaged in sustainable product design and materials. | Reintroducing Materials for Sustainable Design Design Process and Educational Practice

Design for Health

Design for Health

One of the most complex global challenges is improving wellbeing and developing strategies for promoting health or preventing ‘illbeing’ of the population. The role of designers in indirectly supporting the promotion of healthy lifestyles or in their contribution to illbeing has emerged. This means designers now need to consider both morally and ethically how they can ensure that they ‘do no harm’ and that they might deliberately decide to promote healthy lifestyles and therefore prevent ill health. Design for Health illustrates the history of the development of design for health the various design disciplines and domains to which design has contributed. Through 26 case studies presented in this book the authors reveal a plethora of design research methodologies and research methods employed in design for health. The editors also present following a thematic analysis of the book chapters seven challenges and seven areas of opportunity that designers are called upon to address within the context of healthcare. Furthermore five emergent trends in design in healthcare are presented and discussed. This book will be of interest to students of design as well as designers and those working to improve the quality of healthcare.

Urban Design Made by Humans A Handbook of Design Ideas

Urban Design Made by Humans A Handbook of Design Ideas

The design of urban environments is complex and involves diverse needs organisations professions authorities and communities. It requires relationships to be constructed and sustained between infrastructure resources and populations across multiple scales. This can be quite daunting. However at the core of urban design is a simple idea—our urban spaces are designed to allow people and communities to thrive. For that reason a good starting point for urban designers is to focus on the way people think when engaging our built environment. This thinking is embodied developed through the interactions between our mind body and the environment around us. These embodied concepts are central to how we see the world how we move and gather and how we interact with others. They are also the same ideas we use to design our environments and cities. Urban Design Made by Humans is a reference book that presents 56 concepts notions ideas and agreements fundamental to the design and interpretation of our human settlements. The ideas here parallel those found in Making Architecture Through Being Human but extends them into urban environments. Urban Design Made by Humans distinctly highlights priorities in urban design in how we produce meaningful environments catering to wider groups of people. Each idea is isolated for clarity with short and concise definitions examples and illustrations. They are organised in five sections of increasing complexity. Taken as a whole the entries frame the priorities and values of urban design while also being instances of a larger system of human thinking. | Urban Design Made by Humans A Handbook of Design Ideas

The Corruption of Co-Design Political and Social Conflicts in Participatory Design Thinking

The Corruption of Co-Design Political and Social Conflicts in Participatory Design Thinking

Designers are often depicted as social change agents that serve the good in the world. Similarly co-design tends to be described as a democratic mode of creativity that is somehow beyond reproach. But is change a virtue in itself and do participatory practices always produce socially beneficial outcomes? Such questions are becoming more pressing as co-design has emerged as a dominant practice in planning and urban design while also informing corporate management and public administration. In this book Otto von Busch and Karl Palmås suggest that designers tend to overemphasize the place of ideals in design leaving them ill-equipped to deal with a social world of power-wielding and zero-sum games. Seeking to reorient the concerns of the Scandinavian tradition of participatory design they suggest that co-design processes are rife with betrayals decay and corruption and that designerly empathy has morphed into a new form of cunning statecraft. In putting forward Realdesign as an alternative conception of design practice von Busch and Palmås ask: What hard lessons about the social must today’s designers learn from realists like Machiavelli? | The Corruption of Co-Design Political and Social Conflicts in Participatory Design Thinking

Mass Customization and Design Democratization

Mass Customization and Design Democratization

Parametric design and digital fabrication are enabling non-designers to mass produce non-standard highly differentiated products – from shoes and tableware to furniture and even houses. The result of these newly available mass customization tools has been a ‘democratization’ of design. Mass Customization and Design Democratization is the first book to address this recent phenomenon. Demonstrating how the considerable potential of these tools can be realized in practice it introduces essential technologies and design approaches and provides numerous examples of the latest cutting edge work from leading design firms manufacturers and thinkers. The book examines what mass customization means for architecture and the building industry and investigates its impact on the sector’s most commoditized enterprise – suburban housing. Asking whether design democratization is viable in the current context and exploring what kind of mass customization is possible useful and desirable it poses fundamental questions about the authorship of design and the functional and aesthetic quality of products designed by non-designers. A highly designed book featuring over 200 color illustrations this is essential reading for professionals as well as students taking courses in digital architecture parametric design and mass customization.

Developing Creative Thinking in Beginning Design

Developing Creative Thinking in Beginning Design

Learning to think and act creatively is a requisite fundamental aspect of design education for architectural and interior design as well as industrial and graphic design. Development of creative capacities must be encountered early in design education for beginning students to become self-actualized as skillful designers. With chapters written by beginning design instructors Developing Creative Thinking in Beginning Design addresses issues that contribute to deficiencies in teaching creativity in contemporary beginning design programs. Where traditional pedagogies displace creative thinking by placing conceptual abstractions above direct experiential engagement the approaches presented in this book set forth alternative pedagogies that mitigate student fears and misconceptions to reveal the potency of authentic encounters for initiating creative transformational development. These chapters challenge design pedagogy to address such issues as the spatial body phenomenological thinking making as process direct material engagement and its temporal challenges creative decision making and the wickedness of design and the openness of the creative design problem. In doing so this book sets out to give greater depth to first design experiences and more effectively enable the breadth and depth of the teacher–student relationship as a means of helping your students develop the capacity for long-term self-transformation.

Modernizing Costume Design 1820–1920

Modernizing Costume Design 1820–1920

Annie Holt identifies the roots of contemporary Euro-American practices of costume design in which costumes are an integrated part of the dramaturgy rather than a reflection of an individual performer’s taste or status. She argues that in the period 1820–1920 as part of the larger project of modernism across the artistic and cultural field the functions of clothing and costume diverged. Onstage apparel took on a more specific semiotic task acting as a fresh channel for the flow of information between the performer the literary text and the spectator. Modernizing Costume Design traces how five kinds of artists – directors performers writers couturiers and painters – made key contributions to this new model of costume design. Holt shows that by 1920 costume design shifted in status from craft to art. | Modernizing Costume Design 1820–1920
