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. Each section is separately
introduced and each concludes with a guide to further reading. In
addition, a final section of specially commissioned essays analyzes
ten seminal designs of the twentieth century, from Helvetica to the
cell phone. Bringing together the best classic and contemporary
writing, Design Studies: A Reader will be invaluable to all
students of Design as well as to students of Architecture, Art,
Material Culture, and Sociology. Authors include: Theodor Adorno,
Arjun Appadurai, Reyner Banham, Jean Baudrillard, Zygmunt Bauman,
Pierre Bourdieu, Cheryl Buckley, Michel de Certeau, Margaret
Crawford, Arthur C Danto, Adrian Forty, Michel Foucault,
