Description
A John Heskett Reader brings together a selection of key works by renowned design historian John Heskett. This anthology represents his foundational research in industrial design and explores the relationship between design, policy, and economic value across human history.
Featuring both hard-to-access and previously unpublished material, this collection showcases Heskett's passionate interest in understanding how design and making intersect with economic value. The book covers a range of topics, including Japanese industrialism, modernism in the Third Reich, and corporate design management in the 1980s.
With contributions such as "What is Design", "Chinese Design: what can we learn from the past?", and "Creative Destruction: the nature and consequences of change through design", this reader provides a comprehensive overview of Heskett's work and its relevance to academics and students alike.
