Design for Society
ISBN: 9780948462658 / Angielski / Miękka / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although design has become eminently newsworthy among the general public in our society, there is very little understanding to be found of the values and implications that underlie it. Design generates much heat but little light: we live in a world that has much design consciousness, but little design awareness. Nigel Whiteley analyses design's role and status today, and discusses what our obsession with it tells us about our own culture.
Design for Society is not an anti-design book; rather, it is an anti-consumerist-design book, in that it reveals what most people... Although design has become eminently newsworthy among the general public in our society, there is very little understanding to be found of the values ...

The Portland Edge: Challenges and Successes in Growing Communities
ISBN: 9781559636957 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Portland, Oregon, is often cited as one of the most livable cities in the United States and a model for smart growth. At the same time, critics deride it as a victim of heavy-handed planning and point to its skyrocketing housing costs as a clear sign of good intentions gone awry. Which side is right? Does Portland deserve the accolades it has received, or has hype overshadowed the real story? In The Portland Edge, leading urban scholars who have lived in and studied the region present a balanced look at Portland today, explaining current conditions in the context of the people and...

Festival of Britain 1951: Design
ISBN: 9781851495337 / Angielski / Twarda / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Inspired by the Great Exhibition of 1851, the Festival of Britain followed soon after the austerity of the war years. The major events were focused around the twenty-seven-acre bomb site around Waterloo Station, although events happened throughout the UK. The Festival was almost immediately unfashionable amongst commentators. It was viewed with suspicion by political conservatives and quickly dismantled. An establishment orthodoxy quickly emerged that called into question the Festival's objectives. This political ambivalence towards the Festival is confounded by the popularity of the Festival...

The Design Pattern Intent Ontology- Finding the Pattern you need
ISBN: 9783836411844 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the seminal book by the Gang of Four, design patterns have proven an
important tool in software development. Over time, more and more patterns have been discovered and developed for a plethora of design problems. The sheer amount of patterns available makes it hard to impossible to find patterns useful for solving a specific design problem. Hence, tools supporting searching and finding design patterns appropriate to a certain problem would be very useful. In order to develop such tooling, design patterns need to be described in a formal manner such that querying for them by the problem...

Thinking Art
ISBN: 9781402056376 / Angielski / Twarda / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the twentieth century, avant-garde movements have pushed the concept of art far beyond its traditional boundaries. In this dynamical process of constant renewal the prestige of thinking about art as a legitimizing practice has come to the fore. So it is hardly surprising that the past decades have been characterized by a revival or even breakthrough of philosophy of art as a discipline. However, the majority of books on aesthetics fail to combine a systematical philosophical discourse with a real exploration of art practice. Thinking Art attempts to deal with this traditional...

Space and Dwelling
ISBN: 9783836437318 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study examines the public spaces created by the built environment of the city and asks: How is it that the apparently benign and benevolent activity of designing public space can in fact reinforce values that effectively marginalise and exclude significant groups of people? How are the value systems of those with the control over resources manifest in the built environment of the city? What impact do they have on the user's desire to 'dwell' and need to belong? The perception of boundaries, the desire to dwell, the need to belong and the relationship of these phenomena to an...

The Impact of Case-based Visual Stimuli on Conceptual Design Creativity
ISBN: 9783639013429 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Creativity is the correlation and reconstruction of the experiences we have in our mind. The conceptual stage is the first stage where creativity is seen, it is the design stage where any idea is welcomed. Visual stimuli have been concluded to have an effect on the quality of a design solution. Therefore, this study aims to find the influence of two different types of visual stimuli namely; random visual stimuli and complete solution stimuli. Random images are any visuals that one sees daily. Complete solution is a complete product that is already a possible solution for an answer. The...

To deliver the focused and current training that rapidly changing business environments require some organizations are implementing a reusable learning object approach to instructional design.

Since existing instructional design (ID) models may not always meet the needs of learning object design projects this book describes...

Science and Art: The Red Book of `Einstein Meets Magritte'
ISBN: 9780792357582 / Angielski / Twarda / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How do science, producing knowledge and technology, and art, producing revelations and sensations, confront each other? We have taken up the two myths of Albert Einstein and Rene Magritte to address this question. The meeting between Einstein and Magritte is presented as an experiment, with which we hope to go beyond the many programmatical appeals, in order to cut across art and science. The experiment brings together scientists, artists and philosophers who have already - in their own distinctive ways - taken the path towards interdisciplinarity. This book presents their different...

Staging for Creative Collaboration in Design Teams
ISBN: 9783639092066 / Angielski / Miękka / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work presents a vision-oriented methodology for the early stages of the design process. It is divided into two stages: a vision-based and a specification-based stage. The vision-based stage has focus on user experience and applies visions, rather than specifications, as guidelines in the early phases of the concept development. Essential to the methodology is a vision-based model with four levels of abstraction: the spiritual, the contextual, the principal and the material levels. The methodology also integrates the physical arrangement of space and the use of scenario play, storytelling...
