The central premise of Design for Transport is that the designer's
role is to approach design for transport from the point of view of
the user. People have a collection of wants and needs and a
significant proportion of them are to do with their requirements
for mobility. The authors show how creative designers can take a
user-focused approach for a wide range of types of transport
products and systems. In so doing their starting point is one of
creative dissatisfaction with what is currently available, and
their specialist capability is in imagining and developing new
solutions which respond to that opportunity. How this is tackled
varies depending on the context, and the variety of solutions
produced reflects the different aspirations and needs of the people
they are designing for. The chapters cover user needs and
transport, design and the transport system, transport design case
studies, and the case for the automobile. A conclusion briefly
signals what the future for transport design might be. Lavishly
illustrated throughout in four-colour, Design for Transport, is an
imaginative and rigorous guide to how designers can take a
user-centred and socially responsible approach to tackling a range
of types of transport, from systems to products and from bicycles
to automobiles, demonstrating a rich array of solutions through
case studies.
