In these four volumes, leading design thinker Clive Dilnot addresses key issues for our understanding of design and its place in the world. The individual volumes deal respectively with history, configuration, ethics and knowledge.

On Configuration opens with a discussion of configuration as the essential 'moment' of design work. Dilnot examines what is particular to designed configurations, differentiating them from technological arrangement and exploring the presence in design of the negotiation between in-commensurable demands. This theoretical discussion is explored...

In On Knowledge, leading design thinker Clive Dilnot poses the questions: What does design know? What is the nature of design knowledge?

This short book brings together three key writings by Dilnot on the relation of design and understanding. Design as Socially Significant Activity reads design in its social context, and links ethical issues with questions of design understanding and design knowledge. In The Science of Uncertainty, Dilnot examines the general lack of knowledge concerning the invisibility of design as knowledge. Linked also to the onset of the...

John Heskett was a pioneering British design historian, with a particular interest in design and economics.

Design and the Creation of Value' publishes for the first time his groundbreaking seminar on design and economic value. In remarkably clear and accessible prose Heskett explores the how the key traditions of economic thought conceive of how value is created. Critically teasing out the role of design in this process, Heskett shows how design's role in innovating and creating value creating value for organisations and products can be given a firm grounding in economic...

Design and the Question of History is not a work of Design History. Rather, it is a mixture of mediation, advocacy and polemic that takes seriously the directive force of design as an historical actor in and upon the world. Understanding design as a shaper of worlds within which the political, ethical and historical character of human being is at stake, this text demands radically transformed notions of both design and history. Above all, the authors posit history as the generational site of the future. Blindness to history, it is suggested, blinds us both to possibility, and to the...
