In this beautifully illustrated and closely argued book, a completely updated and much expanded third edition of his magisterial survey, Curl describes in lively and stimulating prose the numerous revivals of the Egyptian style from Antiquity to the present day.

This book examines the personal situation of an ever-aging generation from head to toe and introduces design strategies, product innovations, and architectural solutions for a barrier-free world.

Cultural work and knowledge are the central topics of this book and intersect with many of the concerns on how to involve the general public in scientific, technological and economic developments to address urgent changes often deemed to be of a highly scientific nature including climate change, sustainability, environment and development.

Horst W.J. Rittel (1930-1990) hat die Probleme und das Losungsverhalten der Planer und Entwerfer seit den 1960er Jahren zum Gegenstand seiner Forschung gemacht.

Die Neuausgabe der vergriffenen Aufsatzsammlung macht seine Texte im deutschsprachigen Raum endlich wieder zuganglich.
