Omschrijving
Solving Critical Design Problems encourages a design approach that challenges assumptions and allows designers to take on a more critical and creative role. With over 100 images, this book will appeal to students in design studios, industrial and product design, as well as landscape and urban design.
"This book is written from the perspective of an individual who has studied, practiced and taught design. It is the interaction of these experiences that cause her to adopt a Socratic underpinning to the act of design. She inspires the reader to consider the act of design in the context of questions that stimulate thoughts of culture and place to enrich the utilitarian aspects of a design project. This approach opens the path toward inter and transdisciplinary approaches defining the act of design as a means to pose a way of seeing design as a rhetorical activity. It is this connection between the realization of artifacts and the role of design in the definition of culture that distinguishes this book. There is real substance in this monograph for the experienced design professional and it serves as an inside insight for those who are new to the design activity. It is worthy to be required reading in the classroom and is a must read for those who are seeking to understand the design culture."
