This book brings together research working at the boundary between
design knowledges and mobilities, offering a novel collection for
both theorists and practitioners. Drawing upon detailed case
studies, it demonstrates the diverse roles of design in shaping
mobility at different spaces and scales: across cities; within
different types of buildings and infrastructures; and through
commuting, work and leisure activities. A range of international
scholars illustrate the designed mobilities of car parks, traffic
lights, street benches, pedestrian wayfinding systems and
accessible design in the urban environment; they examine spaces
within hospitals, airports and train stations and investigate
design practices for bicycles, future urban vehicles and MotoGP
motorcycle racing. Other contributions explore overlooked mobile
artefacts such as television and video game remote controls, 3D
printing and the types of packaging which enable objects themselves
to move around. This book demonstrates how the tools, assumptions
and processes of design shape spaces of mobility, and also
illuminates how shifts in the fluidity and circulation of people,
practices and materials in turn reconfigure practices of design.
Mobilising Design develops multi-disciplinary understandings of
design, drawing upon diverse literatures including design history,
product design, architecture and cultural geography. By
highlighting often invisible artefacts and associated knowledges
and controversies, the book foregrounds the taken-for-granted ways
in which everyday mobility is designed. It will be of interest to
scholars in geography, sociology, economic history, architecture,
design and urban theory.
