Zusatztext In totality [ Design Studies is] more than just a teaching or study resource. As [it] advocate[s] that the production, consumption and mediation of designed objects and images affect everyone, [it] will be of interest to both informed and general readerships... [A great strength of Design Studies is] the effective demonstration that design analysis and history is not an elitist, purely academic pursuit, but essential to consideration of society and its cultural expressions in the very broadest sense. Informationen zum Autor Hazel Clark is Professor of Design Studies and Fashion Studies and David Brody is Professor of Design Studies, both at Parsons School of Design, The New School, USA. Klappentext Design Studies: A Reader is the ideal entry point for any student who wants to understand the many complex roles of design - as process, product, function, symbol, and use. Reflecting the diverse range of perspectives on design, the reader brings together over seventy key texts. The essays are presented in themed sections covering history, methods, theory, visuality, identity, consumption, labor, industrialization, new technology, sustainability, and globalization.
