Design and Anthropology challenges conventional thinking regarding
the nature of design and creativity, in a way that acknowledges the
improvisatory skills and perceptual acuity of people. Combining
theoretical investigations and documentation of practice based
experiments, it addresses methodological questions concerning the
re-conceptualisation of the relation between design and use from
both theoretical and practice-based positions. Concerned with what
it means to draw 'users' into processes of designing and producing
this book emphasises the creativity of design and the emergence of
objects in social situations and collaborative endeavours.
Organised around the themes of perception and the user-producer,
skilled practices of designing and using, and the relation between
people and things, the book contains the latest work of researchers
from academia and industry, to enhance our understanding of
ethnographic practice and develop a research agenda for the
emergent field of design anthropology. Drawing together work from
anthropologists, philosophers, designers, engineers, scholars of
innovation and theatre practitioners, Design and Anthropology will
appeal to anthropologists and to those working in the fields of
design and innovation, and the philosophy of technology and
engineering.
