Modular products are products that fulfill various overall
functions through the combination of distinct building blocks or
modules, in the sense that the overall function performed by the
product can be divided into sub-functions that can be implemented
by different modules or components. An important aspect of modular
products is the creation of a basic core unit to which different
components (modules) can be fitted, thus enabling a variety of
versions of the same module to be produced. The core should have
sufficient capacity to cope with all expected variations in
performance and usage. Components used in a modular product must
have features that enable them to be coupled together to form a
complex product. Modularity will promote: reduction in product
development time; customization and upgrades; cost efficiencies due
to amortization; quality design standardization; and reduction in
order lead time. The purpose of this book is to develop a
structured approach to the design of products using the concept of
modularity, assembly, and manufacturability. The book has proposed
and developed a structured and systematic approach to product and
systems design using the modularity concept. Mathematical and
genetic algorithm models are developed to support the developed
methodology.
The six essays of Visual Identities are an important contribution
to the growing field of industrial semiotics. Floch's major
strength is his analysis of signs in a way which is both
industrially relevant and textually precise. Until recently there
have been two quite different and distinct ways of understanding
commerical signs, such as logos and advertisements. Industry-based
work has tended to look at questions of marketing and has often
been reduced to the mass psychology of 'appeal' and audience
research, whereas the textual analysis of commerical signs has
tended to come from limited positions of identity politics and
criticism (Marxism, feminism, etc). Floch manages to find a way
between (and also outside) these traditions. In doing so he has
produced a book which will interest industrial practitioners in
advertising, marketing and design as well as students and academics
in semiotics.

Ikat textiles, known as abr in their lands of origin in Central
Asia, are beloved by collectors, decorators and textile devotees
across the world. This book presents a new approach to the
intricately patterned silk textiles by focusing on complete robes
from a major Russian collection. These items of clothing tell
stories about their wearers: their home, identity and place in
society. By studying the history, making, and changing fashions of
ikat robes, the past is brought to life. It quickly becomes clear
that the power and influence of Central Asian costume reached far
beyond the borders of modern Uzbekistan, inspiring imitations and
providing visual stimuli for avant-garde
artists.    With stunning photography and
previously unpublished research findings, this publication is a new
take on ikat costume for those interested in the history of
textiles and fashion, but also for those wishing to admire the
sheer beauty and exquisite craftsmanship of these remarkable
textiles.
Whether it's horror at plastic littering the world's beaches, or
despair at the melting of the polar ice caps, the world is
gradually waking up to the impending climate disaster. In The Green
Imperative, Papanek argues for design that addresses these issues
head on. This means using materials that can be recycled and
re-used, no more pointless packaging, thinking about how products
make us feel and engage all our senses, putting nature at the heart
of design, working at a smaller scale, rejecting aesthetics for
their own sake, and thinking before we buy. First published at the
close of the 20th century, the book offered a plethora of honest
advice, clear examples and withering critique, laying out the flaws
and opportunities of the design world at that time. A quarter of a
century on, Papanek's lucid prose has lost none of its verve, and
the problems he highlights have only become more urgent, giving
today's reader both a fascinating historical perspective on the
issues at hand and a blueprint for how they might be solved. With

Artists, designers and researchers are increasingly seeking new
ways to understand and explore the creative and practical
significance of the senses. This ground-breaking book brings art
and design into the field of sensory studies providing a clear
introduction to the field and outlining important developments and
new directions. A compelling exploration of both theory and
practice, Sensory Arts and Design brings together a wide variety of
examples from contemporary art and design which share a sensory
dimension in their development or user experience. Divided into
three parts, the book examines the design applications of new
technology with sensing capacities; the role of the senses in
creating new imaginative environments; and the significance of the
senses within different cultural practices. The thirteen chapters
cover a highly diverse range of issues - from the urban
environment, architecture and soundscapes to gustatory art,
multisensory perception in painting, music and drawing, and the
relationship between vision and smell. Initiated by Insight, a
research group at Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts
-widely recognised as a center of research excellence - the project
brings together a team of experts from Britain, Europe and North
America. This timely book is destined to make a significant
contribution to the scholarly development of this emerging field.
An important read for students and scholars in sensory studies,
design, art, and visual culture.
In Sustaining Cultural Development, Biljana Mickov and James Doyle
argue that effective programmes to promote greater participation in
cultural life require substantial investment in research and
strategic planning. Using studies from contributors throughout
Europe, they look at ways to promote cultural life as the centre of
the broader sustainable development of society. These studies
illustrate how combining cultural identity, cultural diversity and
creativity with increased participation of citizens in cultural
life improves harmonized cultural development and promotes
democracy. They indicate a shift from traditional governance of the
cultural sector to a new, more horizontal, approach that links
cultural workers at different levels in different sectors and
different locations. This book will stimulate debate amongst
cultural leaders, city managers and other policy makers, as well as
serving as a resource for researchers and those teaching and
learning on a range of post-graduate courses and programmes.

Fostoria was a most remarkable glassd company and George
Sakier(1897-1988) was a most remarkable designer of Fostoria glass.
For over fifty years, through the Great Depression, Sakier sent
classic and modern designs to Moundsville, West Virginia, where
millions of delightful glass objects were produced. They appear
here in profusion. The book includes a throughly researched text
about the man and his art(paintings, industrial designs and glass),
as well as hundreds of brilliant color photographs of thousands of
Fostoria glass items of many patterns and Sakier's fascinating oil
painting landscapes. Sakier's Fostoria glass is American Art Deco
design and the book is a fine resource for glass collectors.
