Description

Explore how the relationship between design and human experience shapes our world. Use Matters: An Alternative History of Architecture offers a unique perspective on how design accommodates use across various creative fields. From participatory architecture to interaction design, this collection examines how expanding utility to include everyday experience changes the social role of design. This book provides a detailed look at the history of the user. While modern inquiry often focuses on how design meets human needs, this collection shows that interest in the user was a central part of architecture and design throughout the twentieth century. The essays cover a wide range of topics, moving from the scale of the bathroom to the layout of the city. Readers will find insights into diverse subjects including ergonomics, cybernetics, and various global contexts ranging from Algeria to East Asia. This collection serves as a comprehensive resource for those studying the history of design and its connection to human behavior.
