This volume presents for the first time in English a curated
selection of writings by the design thinker Gui Bonsiepe from the
1960s to the present day. Addressing as it does questions of
non-Western design and a design practice that is both radical and
democratic, Bonsiepe's work has assumed new importance for current
debates inspired by global political and environmental crises.
Structured into three sections, the anthology first addresses
Bonsiepe's work on design theory and practice, particularly in
relation to the history and contemporary relevance of the Ulm
design school, where Bonsiepe was a professor in the 1960s. A
second section then represents Bonsiepe's writings after his move
to South America in the 1960s and '70s, where he worked as a design
consultant for the Allende government in Chile before the military
takeover. In writings from the period, Bonsiepe explores the
concept of design 'at the periphery' and the relationship of
national design traditions and practices in Latin American
countries to those of 'the core' - Western European and American
design. The final section comprises selections of Bonsiepe's
writings on design in relation to literacy and language, visuality
and cognition. This indispensable volume includes new interviews
with Bonsiepe as well as his original, previously unpublished
texts.
