The Grid - Gretchen Bakke - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Grid - Gretchen Bakke - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

One of Bill Gates''s Favorite Books of 2016 A revelatory look at our national power grid--how it developed, its current flaws, and how it must be completely reimagined for our fast-approaching energy future. America''s electrical grid, an engineering triumph of the twentieth century, is turning out to be a poor fit for the present. It’s not just that the grid has grown old and is now in dire need of basic repair. Today, as we invest great hope in new energy sources--solar, wind, and other alternatives--the grid is what stands most firmly in the way of a brighter energy future. If we hope to realize this future, we need to reimagine the grid according to twenty-first-century values. It’s a project which forces visionaries to work with bureaucrats, legislators with storm-flattened communities, moneymen with hippies, and the left with the right. And though it might not yet be obvious, this revolution is already well under way. Cultural anthropologist Gretchen Bakke unveils the many facets of America’s energy infrastructure, its most dynamic moments and its most stable ones, and its essential role in personal and national life. The grid, she argues, is an essentially American artifact, one which developed with us: a product of bold expansion, the occasional foolhardy vision, some genius technologies, and constant improvisation. Most of all, her focus is on how Americans are changing the grid right now, sometimes with gumption and big dreams and sometimes with legislation or the brandishing of guns. The Grid tells--entertainingly, perceptively--the story of what has been called "the largest machine in the world": its fascinating history, its problematic present, and its potential role in a brighter, cleaner future.

Design - John (formerly Professor Of Design Heskett - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Design - John (formerly Professor Of Design Heskett - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

John Heskett wants to transform the way we think about design by showing how integral it is to our daily lives, from the spoon we use to eat our breakfast cereal, and the car we drive to work in, to the medical equipment used to save lives. Design combines ''need'' and ''desire'' in the form of a practical object that can also reflect the user''s identity and aspirations through its form and decoration.This concise guide to contemporary design goes beyond style and taste to look at how different cultures and individuals personalize objects. Heskett also reveals how simple objects, such as a toothpick, can have their design modified to suit the specific cultural behaviour in different countries. There are also fascinating insights into how major companies such as Nokia, Ford, and Sony approach design. Finally, the author gives us an exciting vision of what design can offer us in the future, showing in particular how it can humanize new technology. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Investigation/Design - Nicolas Nova - Bog - Haute ecole d'art et de design - Geneve - Plusbog.dk

Investigation/Design - Nicolas Nova - Bog - Haute ecole d'art et de design - Geneve - Plusbog.dk

While the overhaul of higher education linked to the Bologna process encouraged the development of design research in art schools, this interest pre-existed in design agencies which were quick to produce surveys in various forms. In this essay, Nicolas Nova synthesises the main specificities of this type of approach and demonstrates how it escapes the academic canon. Indeed, design research is an expanding field, which produces knowledge in a wide variety of forms: texts, drawings, prototypes, interfaces, etc. The author analyses the format of the survey as being at the centre of many approaches to design research – a survey that draws on the methods of social sciences and journalism, but is not confined to the disciplinary framework, gathering and re-appropriating notions from a wide range of fields. More than by a single method, it is by questions relating to specifically invented processes, devices and tools that these surveys in design set themselves apart from those in the social sciences. Thus,this research is often based on the creation of material objects, likely to shed light on phenomena, of which the author presents a series of recent and original examples. Nicolas Nova considers that these approaches to design research radiate beyond their chosen field. Indeed, they influence the “creative social sciences”, which seek to broaden their range of research and restitution processes and open the way to research in contemporary art, which is also in a booming phase.

Total Design - George H. Marcus - Bog - Rizzoli International Publications - Plusbog.dk

Celebrating the ultimate masterpieces of modernist design, from the Arts and Crafts movement up to the twenty-first century, Total Design offers an intimate tour of houses conceived as complete works of art. Each of the spectacular houses making up Total Design demonstrates how an architect realized a unifying vision through all aspects of design—architecture, furniture, fittings, decorative objects, color, and gardens. Presenting masterpieces of modern architecture conceived as complete works of art inside and out, author George H. Marcus, a veteran chronicler of modernist design, delivers a highly accessible tour of the creations of some of the twentieth century’s greatest architects and designers, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto, Eero Saarinen, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and Gio Ponti. Together these masterworks of design offer a stunning survey of the many modes of modernist design, from the inventive refinement of Pierre Chareau to the colorful Nordic forms of Finn Juhl to the twenty-first-century expressionism of Daniel Libeskind.

The Black Experience in Design - - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Black Experience in Design - - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Black Experience in Design spotlights teaching practices, research, stories, and conversations from a Black/African diasporic lens. Excluded from traditional design history and educational canons that heavily favor European modernist influences, the work and experiences of Black designers have been systematically overlooked in the profession for decades. However, given the national focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the aftermath of the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests in the United States, educators, practitioners, and students now have the opportunity—as well as the social and political momentum—to make long-term, systemic changes in design education, research, and practice, reclaiming the contributions of Black designers in the process. The Black Experience in Design , an anthology centering a range of perspectives, spotlights teaching practices, research, stories, and conversations from a Black/African diasporic lens. Through the voices represented, this text exemplifies the inherently collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of design, providing access to ideas and topics for a variety of audiences, meeting people as they are and wherever they are in their knowledge about design. Ultimately, The Black Experience in Design serves as both inspiration and a catalyst for the next generation of creative minds tasked with imagining, shaping, and designing our future.

Design as Art - Bruno Munari - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

One of the last surviving members of the futurist generation, Bruno Munari''s Design as Art is an illustrated journey into the artistic possibilities of modern design translated by Patrick Creagh published as part of the ''Penguin on Design'' series in Penguin Modern Classics.''The designer of today re-establishes the long-lost contact between art and the public, between living people and art as a living thing''Bruno Munari was among the most inspirational designers of all time, described by Picasso as ''the new Leonardo''. Munari insisted that design be beautiful, functional and accessible, and this enlightening and highly entertaining book sets out his ideas about visual, graphic and industrial design and the role it plays in the objects we use everyday. Lamps, road signs, typography, posters, children''s books, advertising, cars and chairs - these are just some of the subjects to which he turns his illuminating gaze. How do we see the world around us? The Penguin on Design series includes the works of creative thinkers whose writings on art, design and the media have changed our vision forever.Bruno Munari (1907-1998), born in Milan, was the enfant terrible of Italian art and design for most of the twentieth century, contributing to many fields of both visual (paint, sculpture, film, industrial design, graphics) and non-visual arts (literature, poetry). He was twice awarded the Compasso d''Oro design prize for excellence in his field.If you enjoyed Design as Art , you might like John Berger''s Ways of Seeing , also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''One of the most influential designers of the twentieth century ...

Design as Gesamtkunstwerk - Anders V. Munch - Bog - Forlaget Rhodos - Plusbog.dk

Design as Gesamtkunstwerk - Anders V. Munch - Bog - Forlaget Rhodos - Plusbog.dk

Modern design was established as a discipline and a profession in its own right in the postwar decades, but its ideals and creative practices evolved out of art and architecture. This exchange goes back to a romantic dream of the union of all arts and the transgression from art to life as expressed in the writings and practices of both Richard Wagner and William Morris. But the unifications and transgressions have turned out very differently in the interiors of Art Nouveau, the experiments at Bauhaus, the total design of postwar Modernism and in contemporary hybrid constellations between design, art and architecture. This discussion of cultural vision and thinking in totalities is reflected in cases like Verner Panton’s interior designs, Arne Jacobsen’s SAS Hotel and Peter Behrens’ corporate identity for AEG. Anders V. Munch is professor in Design Culture at University of Southern Denmark and professor II in Design History at Oslo School of Architecture and Design. His background is history of ideas with a Ph.D. on Adolf Loos and a Post.Doc. on the notion ’Gesamtkunstwerk’, the total work of art.
