This book explores the work of important authors in the search for a transition towards more ethical design focused on more-than-human coexistence. In a time of environmental crises in which the human species threatens its own survival and the highest level of exacerbation of the idea of a future and technological innovation, it is important to discard certain anthropocentric categories in order to situate design beyond the role that it traditionally held in the capitalist world, creating opportunities to create more just and sustainable worlds. This book is an invitation to travel new paths for design framed by ethics of more-than-human coexistence that breaks with the unsustainability inst...
This book provides an overview of the diverse multidisciplinary field of more-than-human design, offering a philosophical grounding of more-than-human design in posthumanism while putting practical design examples and methods to the forefront. There is an urgent need to radically re-imagine design, as its current processes are contributing to global warming, pollution, deforestation, ocean acidification, ozone layer depletion, loss of biodiversity and species extinction. Given this need, ‘more-than-human design’ has emerged as a perspective that widens our thinking beyond solely human-oriented considerations and needs, such as animals, plants and microbes. The book explores the relations...
This book examines the history and role of election posters as one of the most crucial forms of political communication, especially in electoral campaigns, in a number of countries around the globe. The contributing authors present comparative research on electoral posters from countries from all five continents, summarizing international similarities and national differences. The book also discusses theoretical aspects and different methodological approaches that are used for studying the design, content and reception of election posters as a means of political communication.
Quizá resulte hoy demasiado evidente recordar que el fenómeno exilio/emigración es uno de los hechos más crueles que se abaten periódicamente sobre la pacífica convivencia de los pueblos. Y de ello saben mucho los miles de valencianos que tuvieron que refugiarse en América para seguir defendiendo las ideas de progreso y de libertad, tras la derrota de la democracia republicana. Valencianos anónimos y valencianos con una biografía profesional, artística o intelectual reconocida, algunos de los cuales se encontraban en la etapa más fructífera y productiva de sus vidas y representaban una parte substancial del núcleo dirigente intelectual del País Valenciano de los años treinta. ...
Resonancias Tectónicas: Del diseño centrado en el usuario a un diseño orientado en el planeta El pabellón de Chile que nos representó en la Bienal Londres es un nuevo diseño, que reflexiona sobre cómo tratar a los materiales, indagando la fronteras de lo imaginable, las transformaciones que el planeta y la convivencia nos demandan. Que valora trabajar desde la austeridad. En la belleza y la plenitud de su mensaje, estas resonancias tectónicas nos permiten volver a interactuar y reconectarnos con la Tierra. TECTONIC RESONANCES: From users-centered design to planet-oriented design The Chilean pavilion that represented us at the London Biennale 2021 is a new design that reflects on how to treat materials, exploring the boundaries of the imaginable, the transformations that the planet and coexistence demand us. It values working from austerity. In the beauty and fullness of its message, these tectonic resonances allow us to interact and reconnect with the Earth.
Legal design has been with us for over a decade. Its core idea, i.e. to use design methods to make the world of law accessible to all, has been widely embraced by academics, researchers, and professionals. Over time, the field has grown, expanding its initial problem-solving approach to other dimensions of design, such as speculative design, design fiction, proactive law, and disciplines like cognitive science and philosophy. The book presents a state-of-the-art reflection on legal design evolution and applications. It features twelve insightful contributions discussed during the 2023 'Legal Design Roundtable' on 'Design(s) for Law', organised within the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet clinic on 'EU Digital Rights, Law, and Design'. These perspectives from academics and professionals add important nuances to the literature, either presenting new approaches, applying consolidated practices to new contexts and areas, or showcasing actual and potential applications. Ideal for academics, legal professionals, and students, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in new critical approaches to the law and in the creative construction of fairer and more human-friendly legal systems.
Each edition covers previous five years.
Von Gestaltung jenseits ästhetischer Traditionslinien zu sprechen, heißt zwangsläufig das moderne Design in den Blick zu nehmen. Zwischen Alltagskultur und Design-Avantgarden bewegen sich vielfältige interdisziplinäre Strömungen, deren theoretische Modelle in Kontextualisierungen und Analysen der Designwissenschaft zusammenlaufen. Hier zeigt sich bereits eine geisteswissenschaftliche Durchdringung und Akzeptanz des Designs als epidemisches Gegenstück zur freien Kunst, wobei diese Meta-Perspektive letztlich eine Forschung „über Design“ darstellt. Design als konkrete Praxis begriffen artikuliert sich jedoch als Relation von Problem, Entwurf und Prototyp, so dass ein handlungstheore...
El presente libro es un proyecto editorial de la Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Estudios Urbanos de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, liderado por su decano Mario Ubilla, que busca relevar las iniciativas que se desarrollaron durante el período 2020-2022 en el contexto de la pandemia mundial. El COVID-19 impactó el quehacer de la universidad al transformar los modos de trabajo y los temas de investigación y práctica, afectando directamente la generación de nuevos conocimientos y perspectivas disciplinares. Esta publicación incorpora casi treinta trabajos de diversa índole que se concretaron durante este período, incluyendo temas de arquitectura, diseño y estudios urbanos, los cuales fueron convocados a través de un llamado abierto a los docentes e investigadores de la FADEU UC.
