- Summary:
- "As part of a wide-ranging reflection on the living environment, addressing design through its various uses and based on concrete cases, curator, urban planner and art historian Jolanthe Kugler explores the historical and societal dimension of emblematic bathroom objects, highlighting the evolution of representations linked to this seemingly banal room. - Launched by mudac-the Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts in Lausanne-Raddar is a series of texts dedicated to design research. Raddar will appeal to anyone interested in objects, spaces, architecture, graphics and visual forms, including their representation, circulation, history, technical evolution, significance and material make-up. Scholarly and provocative, poetic and disruptive, Raddar presents new interpretations of the defining role of design in today's culture. Outstanding as well as young and unexpected voices from all fields of design meet those from the social and cultural sciences, art, science, literature and beyond. A space for dialogue, criticism, discussion, speculation and surprise, Raddar aims to point its antennae at the various complex issues of design, revealing the semantic, visual and aesthetic richness of this field as well as its social, political and economic dimensions."-- provided by distributor.
