Summary:
Design ist heute zu einem globalen Instrument geworden. Seine Entwicklung und Bedeutung wird anhand ausgewählter Länder Europas, Amerikas und Asiens vorgestellt. Mannigfaltige Unternehmensbeispiele machen das Buch zu einem aktuellen internationalen Kompendium des Designs. Der Autor zeigt die Entwicklung des Designs von seinen Anfängen im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert über die wichtigsten Bewegungen des 20. Jahrhunderts bis hin zur biologischen Wende, die das 21. Jahrhundert bestimmen wird. Die wichtigsten Grundlagen der Designtheorie und -methodologie werden vorgestellt, besonders auch die kommunikativen Funktionen der Produkte. Die aktuellen Erweiterungen hin zum Corporate- und Service Design, Design-Management und strategischem Design, Interface/Interaction-Design bis hin zum Human Design werden erläutert und anhand zahlreicher Beispiele anschaulich gemacht.
Design today is a global instrument. Bernhard Bürdek traces the progress of design from its beginnings in the late 19th century, through the most significant movements of the 20th century up to those recent developments in biological engineering which will shape the 21st century. Design is now a discipline in its own right and its expertise can be incorporated within interdisciplinary processes. The most important fundamental principles of design theory and methodology are presented, looking in particular at the communicative function of products and highlighting aspects such as corporate and service design, design management, strategic design, interface/interaction design and human design.
