A History Of Western Architecture Seventh Edition [Bok / Häftad]

This unparalleled and wide-ranging book surveys the history of applied arts and industrial design from the eighteenth century to the present day, exploring the dynamic relationship between design and manufacturing, and the technological, social and commercial contexts in which this relationship has developed.<br/>In this extensively revised and expanded third edition, David Raizman addresses international questions more fully with the addition of six Global Inspiration sections that examine the contributions of non-Western traditions, rendering the very notion of a 'national' design debatable. The text also pays closer attention to issues of gender, race, and climate change, and their impact on design.<br/>With over 580 illustrations, mostly in colour, <i>History of Modern Design </i>is an inclusive, well-balanced introduction to a field of increasing scholarly and interdisciplinary research, and provides students in design with historical perspectives of their chosen fields of study.

<b>The ultimate reference on indigo dyeing techniques across the world</b><br/><br/> Gloriously pieced together, much like the fine garments it portrays, this colourful volume takes the reader on an international tour of indigo-coloured textiles, presenting a huge swathe of remarkable clothing, people and fabric. Catherine Legrand, who has spent over twenty years travelling and researching the subject, has a deep knowledge of the ancient techniques, patterns and clothing traditions that characterize ethnic textile design, knowledge that she deploys to great effect in seven chapters exploring the production of Indigo textiles throughout America, China, India, Africa, Central Asia, Japan and Laos/Vietnam, and the men and women behind them. This profusely illustrated photographic survey features more than 500 photographs, faithfully laid out to reproduce Catherine's actual travel notebooks, and is completed by specially commissioned drawings that provide close-ups on patterns and clothes.

Marcus Mårtenson undersöker samtida frågor som konsumtion, övervakning och sociala medier i sitt konstnärskap. I arbetsprocessen förvandlar Mårtenson referenser från kapitalistisk populärkultur till samhällskritik. Mårtenson hämtar inspiration från aktuella händelser, graffiti, ikonmåleri och ifrån uppväxten i New York under 1980-talet. Hans målningar gestaltar system av tankar och idéer med tonvikt på den ständigt uppkopplade människans existentiella kris. <br/><br/>Marcus Mårtenson's artistic practice addresses contemporary issues such as consumption, surveillance and social media.

Generative design research is an approach to bring the people we serve through design directly into the design process in order to ensure that we can meet their needs and dreams for the future. The book introduces an emerging domain of design that is of immense interest today not only to the academic design research community but also to those in the business community charged with the development of human-centred products, systems, services, and environments. There are no other books with this focus and coverage currently available.
