Description

Explore the deep connection between design and everyday life with The Design Culture Reader from Routledge. This book challenges the idea that design is limited to luxury objects. Instead, it examines how design is everywhere, from common household items like plumbing and television to complex systems like telephones and weapon systems. This collection presents design as a force for social change. It brings together a global group of writers to examine design culture across the past, present, and future. By looking beyond aesthetics, the text provides a way to understand how the objects and systems surrounding us shape our world. Designed for students, researchers, and thinkers, this reader includes perspectives from philosophers, media and cultural theorists, and historians of design. It serves as a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in the role of design in human society and its impact on our social landscape.

Features contributions from philosophers, historians, and media and cultural theorists.
