This book showcases cutting-edge research papers from the 8th
International Conference on Research into Design (ICoRD 2021)
written by eminent researchers from across the world on design
processes, technologies, methods and tools, and their impact on
innovation, for supporting design for a connected world. The theme
of ICoRD'21 has been "Design for Tomorrow". The world as we know it
in our times is increasingly becoming connected. In this
interconnected world, design has to address new challenges of
merging the cyber and the physical, the smart and the mundane, the
technology and the human. As a result, there is an increasing need
for strategizing and thinking about design for a better tomorrow.
The theme for ICoRD'21 serves as a provocation for the design
community to think about rapid changes in the near future to usher
in a better tomorrow. The papers in this book explore these themes,
and their key focus is design for tomorrow: how are products and
their development be addressed for the immediate pressing needs
within a connected world? The book will be of interest to
researchers, professionals and entrepreneurs working in the areas
on industrial design, manufacturing, consumer goods, and industrial
management who are interested in the new and emerging methods and
tools for design of new products, systems and services.
This book focuses on intellectual property (IP) in the context of
product innovation and design-led start-up management. A
distinguished feature is that it analyses innovation-related
scenarios within their continuously changing contexts. IP is
discussed in relation to the way in which its value changes over
time as a venture matures. The book reveals how IP strategies can
enhance a start-up's survival prospects and its growth potential if
they are connected systematically to other business development
attributes. Being mainly addressed to enterprising designers, it
may also support business administration programmes, innovation
hubs, design educators, incubator managers, as well as business
coaches and IP attorneys who support creatives and inventors. All
in all, this book offers a unique and timely strategic guidance in
the field of design and innovation management. "Design and design
rights have long been overlooked in the plethora of studies on the
links between IPR and innovation. Matthias Hillner's thoughtful and
eloquent journey provides a contemporary and meaningful analysis
which will no doubt assist governments, economists, academics and
designers' better understanding of design in the context of
successful business strategies and IPR. Given design's significant
contribution to global economies, I am confident it will offer much
needed guidance." Dids Macdonald OBE, founder CEO of Anticopying in
Design (ACID) "This is an immensely practical book for designers
and entrepreneurs who want to understand the issues of IP, product
innovation, and business development. With clear explanations, many
vivid examples, and strategically useful tips, it will be a
valuable resource for creative minds at all levels of experience. A
serious book but written with a sensitive touch on how to protect
new ideas." Richard Buchanan, Professor of Design, Management, and
Innovation, Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve

Fashion Education explores how the classroom can transform the
fashion industry towards body inclusion and social justice. The
book is a collection of 16 essays by fashion educators from
Australia, Canada, the US and the UK who recount their experiences,
struggles and strategies of reimagining the exclusive foundation of
fashion pedagogy and redesigning fashion curricula to centre
Indigenous, Black, brown, fat, disabled, trans and queer
worldviews, histories and bodies. This is the first book to explore
the relationships between fashion pedagogy and social justice, and
to map out new pedagogical frameworks and tools to redistribute
power through fashion education. It shares the teaching practices
of fashion educators implementing radical pedagogies and offers
practical case studies that engage with a number of intersectional
positions. Fashion Education engages with current pressing concerns
for educators and is a valuable teaching resource for fashion
educators – both theory and practice – working in art and
design schools in Europe, the US and the UK. With chapters
covering fashion theory, history, business, communication and
design curricula to centre Indigenous, Black, brown, fat, disabled,
trans, queer worldviews, histories and peoples it will appeal
directly to the many disciplines within fashion. The discussions
are also relevant to educators in other art, design and creative
fields also looking to centre inclusion in their courses and the
strategies presented will apply to them. Contributions from Tanveer

BOOKBINDING BOOKBINDING, AND THE CARE OF BOOKS- A TEXT-BOOK FOR
BOOKBINDERS AND LIBRARIANS by DOUGLAS COCKERELL WITH DRAWINGS BY
NOEL ROOKE AND OTHER ILLUSTRATIONS. THE ARTISTIC CRAFTS SERIES OF
TECHNICAL HANDBOOKS by W. R. LETHABY. Considered by many
bookbinders and librarians to be the clearest and most valuable
exposition of hand bookbinding in English, this volume concisely
covers virtually every aspect of the craft - from folding and
collating pages, trimming and gilding edges, to preparing covers,
designing and inlaying on leather, and creating clasps and ties.
PREFACE: IN issuing this volume of a Series of Editor's Handbooks
on the Artistic Crafts, it will be well to state what are our
general aims. In the first place, we wish to provide trustworthy
text-books of workshop practice, from the points of view of experts
who have critically examined the methods current in the shops, and
putting aside vain survivals, are prepared to say what is good
workmanship, and to set up a standard of quality in the crafts
which are more especially associated with design. Secondly, in
doing this, we h o e to treat design itself as an essential part of
good workmanship. During the last century most of the arts, save
painting vii Editor and sculpture of an academic kind, were little
considered, and there was a tendency ti look on design as a mere
matter of appearance. Such ornamentation as there was was usually
obtained by following in a mechanical way a drawing provided by an
artist who often knew little of the technical processes involved in
production. With the critical attention given to the crafts by
Ruskin and Morris, it came to be seen that it was impossible to
detach design from craft inthis way, and that, in the widest sense,
true design is an inseparable element of good quality, involving as
it does the selection of good and suitable material, contrivance
for special purpose, expert workmanship, proper finish and so on,
far more than mere ornament, and indeed, that ornamentation itself
was rather an exuberance of fine workmanship than a matter of
merely abstract lines. Workmanship when separated by too wide a
gulf from fresh thought-that is, from designing inevitably decays,
and, on the ... other hand, ornamentation, divorced from
workman-Editorial ship, is necessarily unreal, and quickly falls
into affectation. Proper ornamentation may be defined as a language
addressed to the eye it is pleasant thought expressed in the speech
of the tool. In the third place, we would have this series put
artistic craftsmanship before people as furnishing reasonable
occupations for those who would gain a livelihood. Although within
the bounds of academic art, the competition, of its kind, is so
acute that only a very few per cent. can fairly hope to succeed as
painters and sculptors yet, as artistic craftsmen, there is every
probability that nearly every one who would pass through a
sufficient period of apprenticeship to workman.. ship and design
would reach a measure of success. In the blending of handwork and
thought in such arts as we propose to deal with, happy careers may
be found as far removed from the dreary routine of hack labour, as
from the terrible Editors certainty of academic art. It is
desirable Preface in every way that men of good education should be
brought back into the productive crafts there are more than enough
of us in the city, and it is probable that moreconsideration will
be given in this century than in the last to Design and
Workmanship.

design, as well as musicology and other related areas. It
especially focuses on the role of digital technologies, and on
strategies fostering creativity, collaboration, education, as well
as sustainability and accessibility in the broadly-intended field
of design. Gathering the proceedings of the 8th EIMAD conference,
held on July 7-9, 2022, and organized by the School of Applied Arts
of the Instituto Politecnico de Castelo Branco, in Portugal, this
book offers a timely guide and a source of inspiration for
designers of all kinds, advertisers, artists, and entrepreneurs, as
well as educators and communication managers.
This fully revised and updated third edition offers students and
artists valuable insights into traditional color theory and its
practical application using today's cutting-edge technology. The
text is lavishly illustrated, stressing issues of contemporary
color use and examining how today's artists and designers are using
color in a multitude of mediums in their work. It is the only book
that has parity between the male and female artists and designers
represented, while containing more multicultural and global
examples of art and design than any other text. This book begins
with how we see color and its biological basis, progressing to the
various theories about color and delving into the psychological
meaning of color and its use. There are individual chapters on
color use in art and design, as well as global and multicultural
color use. One chapter investigates cross cultural life events such
as marriages and funerals, while examining the six major religions'
conceptual and psychological underpinnings of color use. The final
chapter explores the future of color. Contemporary Color is the
ideal text for color theory courses, but also for beginning art and
design students, no matter what their future major discipline or
emphasis may be. It provides the foundation on which to build their
career and develop their own personal artistic voice and vision.

German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) is without
doubt one of the pioneering masters of Modern architecture: The
contemporary cityscape betrays his influence at every turn. Equally
significant, though smaller in scale, are his adventures in
furniture design. Like any good architect, Mies knew that
architecture and furniture inevitably slip into dialogue and affect
one another (he brought his knowledge of recent industrial
technologies to bear on many of the chairs and tables he produced)
and consequently, his earliest designs, beginning in the mid-1920s,
were conceived for specific interiors. At first furniture design
seemed more daunting than architecture: "There are endless
possibilities and many problems--the chair has to be light, it has
to be strong, it has to be comfortable. It is almost easier to
build a skyscraper than a chair," he once declared. But Mies soon
found novel ways to marry traditional luxurious fabrics and
leathers with contemporary chrome frames, while effecting a
distinct separation between the supporting structure and the
supported surfaces. Today his Modern furniture pieces like the
Barcelona chair, table, ottoman and day bed and the Bruno chair are
acclaimed popular classics.
Constructive design research, is an exploratory endeavor building
exemplars, arguments, and evidence. In this monograph, it is shown
how acts of designing builds relevance and articulates knowledge in
combination. Using design acts to build new knowledge, invite
reframing of questions and new perceptions to build up. Respecting
the emergence of new knowledge in the process invite change of
cause and action. The authors' term for this change is drifting;
designers drift; and they drift intentionally, knowing what they
do. The book details how drifting is a methodic practice of its own
and provides examples of how and where it happens. This volume
explores how to do it effectively, and how it depends on the
concept of knowledge. The authors identify four epistemic
traditions in constructive design research. By introducing a
Knowledge/Relevance model they clarify how design experiments
create knowledge and what kinds of challenges and contributions
designers face when drifting. Along the lines of experimental
design work the authors identify five main ways in which
constructive experiments drift. Only one of them borrows its
practices from experimental science, others build on precedents
including arts and craft practices. As the book reveals,
constructive design research builds on a rich body of research that
finds its origins in some of the most important intellectual
movements of 20th century. This background further expands
constructive design research from a scientific model towards a more
welcoming understanding of research and knowledge. This monograph
provides novel actionable models for steering and navigating
processes of constructive design research. It helps skill the
design researcher in participating in the general language games of
research and helps the design researcher build research relations
beyond the discipline.

A picturebook by Hermès that shares the joy of craftmanship for children and adults alike. Durability, quality and transmission are values that have guided the creation of Hermes objects since 1837; values that Hermes aspires to share with the youngest generation. For this edition, Hermes has commissioned 100% ORANGE, the acclaimed creator duo whose works include numerous picture books and children's books. With their artisanal approach to create graphic designs and illustrations, they have created a story that seeks to encapsulate the meaning of craftsmanship and aims to pass on to the next generation the essence of Hermes. The joyful story of 'Ostampo Stetetcchi', expresses the Maison's unique artisanal savoir-faire with the following story: As a craftsman masters skillfully the tools and materials in its small saddlery shop, bringing his creations to life, a dog enters with a special request. Gently and kindly, the craftsman works to fulfill the dog's earnest needs. With joy, the dog invites the craftsman for a walk, and as they walk, they encounter animals of one kind or another. A little bit of magic, his hands and his tools are all it takes for the craftsman to grant their wishes one by one. With perfectly crafted creations, the animals arn delighted by its magic.
This edited volume maps dialogues between science and technology
studies research on the arts and the emerging field of artistic
research. The main themes in the book are an advanced understanding
of discursivity and reasoning in arts-based research, the
methodological relevance of material practices and things, and
innovative ways of connecting, staging, and publishing research in
art and academia. This book touches on topics including studies of
artistic practices; reflexive practitioners at the boundaries
between the arts, science, and technology; non-propositional forms
of reasoning; unconventional (arts-based) research methods and
enhanced modes of presentation and publication.
There were an estimated 50 million people worldwide living with
dementia in 2017 and this number will almost double every 20 years,
reaching 82 million in 2030. Design has significant potential to
contribute to managing this global concern. This book is the first
to synthesise the considerable research and projects in dementia
and design. Design interactions is a new way of considering how we
can improve the relationship between people, products, places and
services and of course technology trends, such as the 'internet of
things', offer great opportunities in providing new ways to connect
people with services and products that can contribute to healthier
lifestyles and mechanisms to support people with acute and chronic
conditions. In light of this, the book explores the contribution
and future potential of design for dementia through the lens of
design interactions, such as people, contexts, material and things.
Design for People Living with Dementia is a guide to this
innovative and cutting-edge field in healthcare. This book is
essential reading for healthcare managers working to provide
products, services and care to people with dementia, as well as
design researchers and students. .
Early modern books were not stable or settled outputs of the press
but dynamic shape-changers, subject to reworking, re-presentation,
revision, and reinterpretation. Their history is often the history
of multiple, sometimes competing, agencies as their texts were
re-packaged, redirected, and transformed in ways that their
original authors might hardly recognize. Processes of editing,
revision, redaction, selection, abridgement, glossing, disputation,
translation, and posthumous publication resulted in a textual
elasticity and mobility that could dissolve distinctions between
text and paratexts, textuality and intertextuality, manuscript and
print, author and reader or editor, such that title and author's
name are no longer sufficient pointers to a book's identity or
contents. This collection brings together original essays by an
international team of eminent scholars in the field of book history
that explore these various kinds of textual inconstancy and
variability. The essays are alive to the impact of commercial and
technological aspects of book production and distribution
(discussing, for example, the career of the pre-eminent bookseller
John Nourse, the market appeal of abridgements, and the financial
incentives to posthumous publication), but their interest is also
in the many additional forms of agency that shaped texts and their
meanings as books were repurposed to articulate, and respond to, a
variety of cultural and individual needs. They engage with early
modern religious, political, philosophical, and scholarly trends
and debates as they discuss a wide range of genres and kinds of
publication including fictional and non-fictional prose, verse
miscellanies, abridgements, sermons, religious controversy, and of
authors including Lucy Hutchinson, Richard Baxter, John Dryden,
Thomas Burnet, John Tillotson, Henry Maundrell, Jonathan Swift,
Samuel Richardson, John Wesley, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The
result is a richly diverse collection that demonstrates the
embeddedness of the book trade in the cultural dynamics of early
modernity.
This edited volume uses an interdisciplinary approach to art and
design that not only reframes but also repositions agendas and
actions to address fragmented global systems. Contributors explore
the pluriverse of art and design through epistemological and
methodological considerations. What kinds of sustainable ways are
there for knowledge transfer, supporting plural agendas, finding
novel ways for unsettling conversations, unlearning and learning
and challenging power structures with marginalised groups and
contexts through art and design? The main themes of the book are
art and design methods, epistemologies and practices that provide
critical, interdisciplinary, pluriversal and decolonial
considerations. The book challenges the domination of the white
logic of art and design and shifts away from the Anglo-European
one-world system towards the pluriverse. The book will be of
interest to scholars working in art history, visual studies,
arts-based research, and design studies. The Open Access version of
this book, available at www.taylorfrancis. com, has been made
