IV bloB, weil das Gesetz es verlangt, sondern aus PflichtbewuBtsein und Menschlichkeit sind doch zuletzt die Normen fiir Kesselbleche, die Festigkeitsvorschriften und Abnahmebedingungen fur GuBeisen und Walzeisen entstanden, sind die wissenschaft. lichen mUhevollen Untersuchungen zu erkHi-ren. Die Tausende von Bergleuten, die taglich an dunnen Sellen zur Grube fahren, die Maschinisten vor hochgespannten Dampfkesseln und explosionsgefahrlichen Sch wung radern und wieder Taueende, die uber kUhn geschwungene Brucken und Abgriinde schnellen, sie wollen nicht nur alles dies mit Sicher heit und Seelenruhe tun," sondern sie sollen sich auch an dem Bau werk erfreuen, das des Menschen Geist schuf. "Denn immer wieder handelt es eich urn die Qualitatsfrage des Eisens, d. h. urn das Wohl der Menschen, urn Kultur im hochsten Sinne des Wortes" (Leber). Diesem Gedanken zu dienen, war der Leitstern bei der Abfassung des vorliegenden Werkes. Es galt, aus der ubergroBen Fulle des vorhandenen Schrifttums das "Kornchen Wahrheit" zu finden, es in ein leichtfaBliches Gewand zu kleiden, urn nicht nur den Konstrukteur, sondern auch aIle die, die mit der Technik in mittelbarer oder unmittelbarer Beziehung stehen, den Kaufmann und Gewerbetreibenden uber die Eigenheiten des wichtigsten Bau stoffes, das Eisen, aufzuklaren. Nicht zuletzt aber wird auch der Eisenhuttenmann selbst an einer scharf umrissenen Abhand lung uber die GesetzmaBigkeiten und Eigentumlichkeiten seiner Erzeugnisse "InteresEe haben. So ergiht sich die Einteilung des Stoffes, die in ahnlicher Weise vorgenommen wurde, wie sie sich in dem Werke von Brearley -Schafer: "Die Werkzeugstahle und ihre Warmebehandlung" bewahrt zu haben scheint."

Now in its eleventh year, the Design Museum's Beazley Designs of the Year award and exhibition showcase the most innovative, relevant and thought-provoking projects in contemporary design. From the first iPhone to Zaha Hadid's final building, the nominations for the award have spanned the fields of architecture, digital, fashion, graphics, product and transport. Introduced by Deyan Sudjic and guest curator Aric Chen of M+ in Hong Kong, this illustrated book brings together all the nominated designs for 2018, along with the reasons for their selection by an international group of design experts, practitioners and critics, including Iwan Baan and Hans Ulrich Obrist. It is a snapshot of the most exciting things happening in design today. At the beginning of the second decade of its life, the essence of the concept remains the same. A wide and international group of expert nominators have been invited to put forward up to three projects each that for them reflect significant new directions in six fields, from architecture to transport. The results are put together by a guest curator to form an exhibition at the Design Museum. A jury selects winners in each category, as well as one overall design of the year. The Design Museum has published an accompanying catalogue for the award and exhibition over the past ten years, which was marked by the publication of the ten-year anniversary book Designs of our Time: 10 Years of Designs of the Year.

Overcrowded - Designing Meaningful Products in a World Awash with Ideas (Hardcover): Roberto Verganti Overcrowded - Designing Meaningful Products in a World Awash with Ideas (Hardcover)

A more powerful innovation, which seeks to discover not how things work but why we need things. The standard text on innovation advises would-be innovators to conduct creative brainstorming sessions and seek input from outsiders-users or communities. This kind of innovating can be effective at improving products but not at capturing bigger opportunities in the marketplace. In this book Roberto Verganti offers a new approach-one that does not set out to solve existing problems but to find breakthrough meaningful experiences. There is no brainstorming-which produces too many ideas, unfiltered-but a vision, subject to criticism. It does not come from outsiders but from one person's unique interpretation. The alternate path to innovation mapped by Verganti aims to discover not how things work but why we need things. It gives customers something more meaningful-something they can love. Verganti describes the work of companies, including Nest Labs, Apple, Yankee Candle, and Philips Healthcare, that have created successful businesses by doing just this. Nest Labs, for example, didn't create a more advanced programmable thermostat, because people don't love to program their home appliances. Nest's thermostat learns the habits of the household and bases its temperature settings accordingly. Verganti discusses principles and practices, methods and implementation. The process begins with a vision and proceeds through developmental criticism, first from a sparring partner and then from a circle of radical thinkers, then from external experts and interpreters, and only then from users. Innovation driven by meaning is the way to create value in our current world, where ideas are abundant but novel visions are rare. If something is meaningful for both the people who create it and the people who consume it, business value follows.

John Maeda is one of the world's preeminent thinkers on technology and design, and in How to Speak Machine, he offers a set of simple laws that govern not only the computers of today, but the unimaginable machines of the future. Machines are already more powerful than we can comprehend, and getting more powerful at an exponential pace. Once set in motion, algorithms never tire. And when a program's size, speed and endlessness combine with its ability to learn and transform itself, the outcome can be unpredictable and dangerous. Take the seemingly instant transformation of Microsoft's chatbot into a hate-spewing racist, or how crime-predicting algorithms reinforce racial bias. How To Speak Machine provides a coherent framework for today's product designers, business leaders and policymakers to grasp this brave new world. Drawing on his wide-ranging experience from engineering to computer science to design, Maeda shows how businesses and individuals can identify opportunities afforded by technology to make world-changing and inclusive products while avoiding the pitfalls inherent to the medium.

A fresh look at the Arts and Crafts Movement, charting its origins in reformist ideals, its engagement with commercial culture, and its ultimate place in everyday households In its spread from Britain to the United States, the Arts and Crafts Movement evolved from its roots in individual craftsmanship to a mainstream trend increasingly adapted for mass production by American retailers. Inspired by John Ruskin in Britain in the 1840s in response to what he saw as the corrosive forces of industrialization, the movement was profoundly transformed as its tenets of simple design, honest use of materials, and social value of handmade goods were widely adopted and commodified by companies like Sears, Roebuck and Co. The movement grew popular in early 20th-century America, where it was stripped of its reformist ideals by large-scale manufacturing and merchandising through department stores and mail-order catalogues. This beautiful book is illustrated with stunning furniture and designs by William Morris, Gustav Stickley, and Elbert Hubbard's Roycroft community, among many others, along with such ephemera as the catalogues, sales brochures, and magazine spreads that generated popular interest. This perspective offers a new understanding of the Arts and Crafts idea, its geographical reach, and its translation into everyday design.

Ende der achtziger Jahre des vorigen Jahrhunderts, als das Bedurfnis der sich rasch entwickelnden Industrie nach uberall leicht verfugbarer Triebkraft es notwendig machte, elektrische Energie auf weitere Entfernungen zu ubertragen, trat hier in Europa der Wechselstrom zum ersten Mal dem bis dahin fast souveran herrschenden Gleichstrome als gefahr- licher Konkurrent an die Seite. Es kam bei den ersten Wechselstromanlagen meist darauf an, die so ubertragene elektrische Arbeit in mechanische umzusetzen und es lag somit nahe, bei denselben mehrphasige Systeme, besonders Drehstrom zu verwenden, denn man batte in dem damals vor kurzem von ]'erraris und anderen fast gleichzeitig erfundenen mebrpbasigen Induktionsmotor eine Triebmaschine, die fur den in Frage kommenden stationaren Betrieb in hohem Grade geeignet war, und die sich durch Einfachheit der Herstellung und der Handhabung sowie durch Unempfindlichkeit gegen aussere Einflusse wie Staub, Feuchtigkeit u. s. w. sogar dem Gleichstrommotor bedeutend uberlegen zeigte. Wenn man noch dazu berucksichtigt, dass der Mehrphasenmotor einen hohen Wirkungsgrad und grosse UEberlastungsfahigkeit besass und ohne Schwierigkeit eine Regulierung des Drehmomentes (mittels Widerstande im Ankerstromkreis) zuliess, ist es nicht zu verwundern, dass er als der "Wechselstrommotor der Zu- kunft" betrachtet wurde, und dass folglich das besondere Inter- esse der elektrotechnischen Fachwelt mehr auf seine Vervoll- kommnung als auf die Schaffung anderer Motore gerichtet wurde. v. Koch. 1 Einleitung.
