Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new, empathic approach to design research, drawn from the informed experiences of a leading design research program in Finland. Design, Empathy, Interpretation tells the story of empathic design, a design research program at Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland, that has developed an interpretive approach to design over the past twenty years. As one of the leaders of the Helsinki group, Ilpo Koskinen draws on his own experiences to offer readers a general intellectual and professional history of design research, and argues for what he calls an interpretive approach. Design, Empathy, Interpretation shows how the group has created connections all across the globe, and how a seemingly soft approach to design research can be useful in both industry and government. Koskinen follows design research’s transformation from questions of usability, in the 1980s, through to the revolution in personal electronics and the “user-centered” turn of the 1990s. Using the research community in Helsinki as a case study, and moving between specific projects and theoretical debates, he offers readers a focused introduction to the major methodological and intellectual challenges—as well as the opportunities—of design research. He argues that all design tasks, however simple or complex, begin with understanding the way humans ascribe meaning, both as individuals and as actors in complex societies. Thus all design research must be interpretive at its core.A new, empathic approach to design research, drawn from the informed experiences of a leading design research program in Finland.

Download or read book Corporate Cultural Responsibility written by Michael Bzdak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-22 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is corporate investing in the arts and culture within communities good business? Written by an expert on the topic who ran the Corporate Art Program at Johnson & Johnson, the book sets out the case for business patronage of the arts and culture and demonstrates how to build an effective program for businesses to follow. As companies seek new ways to add value to society, this book places business support of the arts in a corporate social responsibility context and offers a new concept: Corporate Cultural Responsibility. It discusses the issues underlying business support of the arts and explores new avenues of collaboration and value creation. The framework presented in the book serves as a guide for identifying the key attributes and projected impact of successful and sustainable models. Unlike other books centered on the relationship of art and commerce, this book looks at the broader and global implications of Corporate Cultural Responsibility. It also usefully sets the discussion about the role of philanthropy and corporate social responsibility and the arts within an historical timeframe. As the first book to link culture to community responsibility, the book will be of particular relevance to corporate art advisors and auction houses, as well as students of arts management and corporate social responsibility at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new breed of modern designers is on the way. These non-traditional industrial designers work across disciplines, understand human beings, as well as business and technology thus bridging the gap between customer needs and technological advancement of tomorrow. This book uncovers prospective designer techniques and methods of a new age of industrial design, whose practitioners strive to construct simple and yet complex products of the future. The novel frontiers of a new era of industrial design are exposed, in what concerns the design process, in illustrating the use of new technologies in design and in terms of the advancement of culturally inspired design. The diverse perspectives taken by the authors of this book ensure stimulating reading and will assist readers in leaping forward in their own practice of industrial design, and in preparing new research that is relevant and aligned with the current challenges of this fascinating field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically investigates the declining status of creative workers in contemporary societies following changes associated with the neoliberal creativity discourse – from the distribution of resources around cultural production to consumption, and from the management of ‘labour time’ to ‘life time’. These changes have narrowed career pathways for creative workers, resulting in exploitative working conditions for both professionals and amateurs. The contemporary cultural industries accentuate entrepreneurialism, informed by ‘social network markets’ and a capacity to engage technologised consumer culture. This book suggests that a radically different view is needed to understand how creative workers justify their continued participation in the cultural industries. It pays particular attention to the identities of marginalised cultural workers (underpaid or under-rewarded) and argues that cultural work cannot be understood as a route into entrapment by self-exploitation (sacrificial labour) nor as an abstract form of creative autonomy. Creative workers must engage the ‘artist critique’ to re-claim the social values of making culture as ‘public labour’. Bringing together theory and practice via contemporary case studies, this book is a significant contribution to research on the cultural economy and will be of interest to researchers in this field and practitioners in the management of cultural work.

Book excerpt: My professional experience is a combination of theoretical and practical education with employment in both China and the U.S. This duality gives me the proper perspective to both compare and contrast the problems and opportunities in the industrial design profession in the U.S. and China. Chinese industrial design is experiencing rapid development on the grounds that China is becoming the world's manufacturing center. Each year, an increasing number of international collaborations occur between the U.S. and China, requiring accurate communication and mutual understanding. However, due to cultural differences, uneven industrial design development stages, and dissimilar education systems, Chinese industrial designers, in general, work differently compared to U.S. industrial designers. This difference very often creates difficulties in international partnerships which results in wastes of time, cost, and energy for both sides. Based on my experience and research there appears to be significant differences in the goals that drive US and Chinese designers in the product development process. Most US industrial designer respond to emerging trends in markets, refine branding, clarify distinction, and create intellectual property, whereas most Chinese industrial designers' goals consist of observing the success of existing products in the market place. Thus, in the U.S., designers mostly focus on consumer research and have more of an influence on product strategy, opposed to Chinese designers who focus more on manufacturing and have greater influence on design execution. This thesis is to describe this difference and explain how China's industrial design education and practice must be changed. In addition, China must learn from the Japanese by integrating their own cultural value into industrial designing, so that China can occupy a unique position in the design world to compete with other cultures. Furthermore, design promotional organizations such as the IDSA (Industrial Designers Society of America), could be more effective if Chinese designers would create dialog with designers in the U.S.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design Thinking, a method widely used in design business and management, has changed the landscape of contemporary design. Whereas in the past non-designers were called upon to serve as external consultants ad-hoc, in an effort to promote creativity and innovation most design teams now consist of a mix of designers and other professionals. The impact of this development on the design landscape in recent years is so far without thorough investigation and analysis of its various influences. This book comprises an edited collection of selected papers from the 13th Design Thinking Research Symposium (DTRS13) which offers an exploration of Design Thinking from theoretical, practical, and pedagogical perspectives as well as critical analysis of the design process. The book is arranged in five parts as follows: Part 1: Thinking about design Part 2: Design thinking in the studio Part 3: Design thinking in practice and professional training Part 4: Design teams of diverse backgrounds, Interdisciplinary projects Part 5: Design and nature; visual representation Providing a comprehensive source for new perspectives on design and Design Thinking, Expanding the Frontiers of Design is ideal for designers and design academics of all disciplines wishing to strengthen and innovate their practice, as well as industry leaders who seek to consolidate their business strategies and evolve their work.

Book excerpt: Annotation. "The Changing Chicken: Chooks, Cooks and Culinary Culture provides a unique view of food systems and culture. The book describes activities in the hatcheries, on chicken farms, in processing plants, in supermarket delicatessens and in household kitchens." "A chicken-centred diet challenges assumptions about how foods become valued or are judged good to eat. By building on insights from the sociology of consumption, retail geography and political economy, author Jane Dixon develops a cultural economy framework for studying the shifting balance of power in food systems. And by comparing the situation in Australia with international trends in chicken meat production and consumption, she sheds new light on the complex issue of global food systems and national culinary cultures."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers insight into designerly ways of knowing from the perspectives of experts and professionals engaging in diverse forms of design in workplaces and other public domains. It also aids in the understanding of design practices from designers’ viewpoints via case studies. By pursuing a reflective inquiry in their design epistemology (designerly ways of knowing), design praxiology (practices of design), or design phenomenology (forms of designs), self-studies of design practices, and presenting studies of designs, the authors of this book demonstrate how they influence the people and the object of inquiry or design. The case studies presented in this book also illustrate how designers develop their expertise, and provides inspiration for the incorporation of design-thinking and practice in education.
