Book Synopsis Design in the Age of Change by : Doctor Gjoko Muratovski
Download or read book Design in the Age of Change written by Doctor Gjoko Muratovski and published by Intellect Books. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Change is inevitable. This is the only constant in our lives. Yet, change is also something that we fear. We seek comfort in the familiar, in routines and in conventions. We are afraid of things that we don't know or we don’t understand. We fear change because we don’t know how change will affect us. Change, however, is necessary for progress. Sometimes, change happens naturally due to circumstances beyond our control, and sometimes we initiate change because we can or because we must. In 2020, we experienced the biggest change of our lifetimes. For a brief moment in history, the world came to a halt. Then, everything changed. Many things that we used to take for granted no longer applied. We experienced major disruptions to our daily lives. As if in some kind of perfect storm, so many things happened all at once – global pandemic, social inequalities, climate change, racial injustices, riots and unrests, gender struggles and rapid advances of new technologies. This book started to take shape in the midst of it all, and in a way, it is a time capsule of how we experienced the birth of what became known as the 'new normal'. Designers are the kind of people who thrive in times of change. In fact, it is their job to create change. The nature of their job is such that they have to take an existing situation and change it into a better, or a more preferred situation. Some do this by relying on their imagination and personal experiences, and some use evidence-based research to inform their work. Regardless of this, many share the belief that they can somehow make the world a better place – on a micro or a macro level. During this period of massive change, Gjoko Muratovski invited ten highly influential design figures – including iconic design leaders such as Carole Bilson, Karim Rashid, Bruce Mau, Steven Heller and Don Norman – to reflect on the state of things today. In return, each one of them shares a highly personal account on why change is good. The book also features a foreword written by the president of the World Design Organisation (WDO), Srini Srinisavan, and a conclusion by one of the greatest design philosophers of our time, Ken Friedman. By looking to the past and reflecting on the present, these designers project very personal images of the future that they would like to see. The conversations are very broad, and they cover highly diverse topics. From the effects of the pandemic, to issues of race and gender, notions of beauty, technology and industry, to global and local economies, politics, power, privilege and the importance of community. A 'must-read' for anyone interested in how designers and design can change the world. Gjoko Muratovski is a university executive, award-winning designer and innovation consultant working with leading organisations, Fortune 500 companies and governments from around the world, and a fellow of the Design Research Society.

Book Synopsis Blobjects and Beyond by : Steven Skov Holt
Download or read book Blobjects and Beyond written by Steven Skov Holt and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2005-07-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Turning away from the hard angles and edges of conventional modernism, bliobjects are the design of now, and the future. Blobjects & Beyond is the first survey of the explosion of amorphic, organic, and curvaceous design. A formless from with roots in Surrealism and the kidney-shaped motifs of the 1950s, the ever more biological blobject has come into its own, embodying and reflecting the new international ethos of fluidity." "Authors Steven Skov Holt and Mara Holt Skov - curators of a major exhibition of blobjects at the San Jose Museum of Art - and contributors Phil Patton and Bruce Sterling, parse the various manifestations of the blobject, bringing together the realms of art, architecture, industrial design, graphics, digital design, furniture, and pop culture. As a counterpoint to the effusive popularity of the blobject, the authors also address more recent, post-9/11 forms that are mutated and disturbed, dangerous and intimidating - the dark side of the blobject." "A manifesto for fluidity across disciplines, cultures, and international boundaries, Blobjects & Beyond documents the first major design language to bridge the last millennium with the new one."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis New Bar and Club Design by : Bethan Ryder
Download or read book New Bar and Club Design written by Bethan Ryder and published by Laurence King Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Following the highly successful Bar and Club Design (2002), New Bar and Club Design examines current international trends, showcasing 47 bars and clubs completed since 2001." "The 1990s restaurant boom led to an increase in both the volume and diversity of restaurants, and this in turn heralded an increasingly sophisticated bar market. There has been a resurgence of cocktail culture and an explosion of the 'style bar' - professionally designed venues that serve high-quality drinks. As this book demonstrates, such bars continue to open in cities from New York to Moscow, Beirut to Kuala Lumpur. There is also a trend in lower-budget designer bars that are as visually interesting as the big budget productions, such as Andy Wahloo in Paris and Opal in London." "Likewise, club culture continues to thrive. Many nightclubs are cosier than the 'superclubs' so popular during the late 1980s and '90s, and recent years have seen the emergence of the 'boutique club' - small, exclusive nightclubs where the focus has returned to the music, the sound system and the dancing. Other alternatives include late-night lounge bars with DJs that cater to the 'grown-up clubber', offering comfort and luxury rather than an empty shell in which to dance. Some 'superclubs' are still being built and these offer the very best in technology and audiovisual entertainment, usually laid out over several different areas. This book explores the design Zeitgeist of bar and club culture worldwide." "Following a brief introduction tracing the latest international trends, four themed chapters on bars, restaurant bars, hotel bars and clubs showcase the most interesting and unusual venues from around the world. New Bar and Club Design is a must for anyone with an interest in interior design, bar or club culture."--BOOK JACKET.
