Description
Discovering Design explores the growing recognition that design is a subject worthy of investigation beyond its professional practice. This collection of essays brings together scholars from various fields to discuss the development of design studies as an interdisciplinary field. The contributors examine three broad themes: shaping design as a subject matter, distinguishing designing in complex action, and addressing value and responsibility questions. Topics include the relation between aesthetics and technology, the role of consumers in design decisions, and the need for ethical practice in contemporary design. This book provides a multidisciplinary framework for understanding design studies and offers insights into the fundamental issues that persistently arise in the discussion and practice of design.
