Design is part of ordinary, everyday life, to be found in every
room in every building in the world. While we may tend to think of
design in terms of highly desirable objects, this book encourages
us to think about design as ubiquitous (from plumbing to
television) and as an agent of social change (from telephones to
weapon systems). The Design Culture Reader brings together an
international array of writers whose work is of central importance
for thinking about design culture in the past, present and future.
Essays from philosophers, media and cultural theorists, historians
of design, anthropologists, cultural historians, artists and
literary critics all demonstrate the enormous potential of design
studies for understanding the modern world. Organised in thematic
sections, The Design Culture Reader explores the social role of
design by looking at the impact it has in a number of areas -
especially globalisation, ecology, and the changing experiences of
modern life. Particular essays focus on topics such as design and
the senses, design and war and design and technology, while the
editor's introduction to the collection provides a compelling
argument for situating design studies at the very forefront of
contemporary thought.
