Móvel moderno no Brasil
Móvel moderno no Brasil, de Maria Cecilia Loschiavo dos Santos, é um trabalho sério de pesquisa sobre a formação do móvel moderno brasileiro, mas também um esforço de compreensão desse fenômeno tão pouco estudado entre nós. Nesse particular, o livro, de certo modo, resgata o caráter cultural, estético do móvel, em meio a problemas técnicos e comerciais. O livro traça uma perspectiva que vem desde as origens do móvel moderno brasileiro, nos anos 1920, as realizações mais independentes dos anos 1960 a 1980, até a produção contemporânea. Ele nos proporciona uma visão sintética e esclarecedora da história do nosso moderno mobiliário e considero-o leitura essencial para estudantes e todos aqueles interessados em conhecer a história dos objetos industriais ou artesanais que fazem parte de nossa vida cotidiana.

Tradição e modernidade no móvel brasileiro
Cecilia Loschiavo é uma autoridade reconhecida nacional e internacionalmente no estudo da herança do design modernista brasileiro. Seu livro Móvel moderno no Brasil, publicado em 1994, fundamentou o processo de compreensão e reavaliação da produção do período, ocorrido especialmente a partir da década seguinte. Neste novo livro, baseado em sua tese de doutorado, ela discute, através das trajetórias de Sergio Rodrigues, Joaquim Tenreiro, Celso Martinez Carrera e José Zanine Caldas, o encontro entre tradição e modernidade em um país que buscava a consolidação de sua industrialização no século XX, e o quanto essas contribuições foram vitais para a identidade criativa bras...
Artistic Cartography and Design Explorations Towards the Pluriverse
This edited volume uses an interdisciplinary approach to art and design that not only reframes but also repositions agendas and actions to address fragmented global systems. Contributors explore the pluriverse of art and design through epistemological and methodological considerations. What kinds of sustainable ways are there for knowledge transfer, supporting plural agendas, finding novel ways for unsettling conversations, unlearning and learning and challenging power structures with marginalised groups and contexts through art and design? The main themes of the book are art and design methods, epistemologies and practices that provide critical, interdisciplinary, pluriversal and decolonial considerations. The book challenges the domination of the white logic of art and design and shifts away from the Anglo-European one-world system towards the pluriverse. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual studies, arts-based research, and design studies.

Brazilian Modern Design
This enormous 484-page compendium documents the work of 15 of the leading Brazilian furniture designers in the modern period, between the 1940s and 1970s, including Lina Bo Bardi, Joaquim Tenreiro, José Zanine Caldas, Sergio Rodrigues and Jorge Zalszupin. The extensive selection of reproduction allows the reader to appreciate the details of the designers' creative thinking and the variety of aesthetic solutions. The accompanying text, by Maria Cecilia Loschiavo, examines the elements that brought about the genesis of modern Brazilian design, weaving an analysis that guides the reader to present dialogues between the arts. The book also includes a short biography of each of the designers, plus a chapter on the contributions made by architects to modern furniture design.
The Handbook of Design for Sustainability
Sustainability has emerged as a central issue for contemporary societies and for the world community as a whole. Furthermore, many of the social and environmental concerns that are embodied in the term 'sustainability' are directly or indirectly related to design. Designers help to define our human made environment - how it is produced, how it is used, and how long it endures. Despite some forty years of development and increased awareness of the critical relationships that exist between design decisions and modes of production, energy use, environmental impacts, the nature of work and human exploitation, design for sustainability is still not widely understood or followed. The Handbook of D...
Empathy and Business Transformation
Due to its potential transformative nature, empathy has increasingly received attention in business, psychology, neuroscience, education, medicine, social sciences and design, to mention only a few. During the last two decades, discussions about the role of empathy in design and creative research and practice have developed, with empathy perceived as a key instrument in human-centred design and design thinking. This book revisits the powerful concept of empathy in the new post-pandemic era in which ubiquitous digitalisation presents challenges to retaining human-centredness when developing products and services. The book presents a practical four-step approach to the challenges presented con...
Transportable Environments 2
This book explores aspects of the historical and theoretical basis for temporary and transportable environments and provides an insight into the wide range of functions that they are used for today, the varied forms they take and the concerns and ideas for their future development. Themes in the book range from wide-ranging topical issues like the ecological implications of building to more focused investigations such as shelter after disaster. The book will be of interest to both students and practising architects, engineers and those involved in the creation of the built environment. It will also be of value to those involved in areas of product design, design history, building component manufacture and urban design.
Waste Prevention Policy and Behaviour
As prosperity levels rise, so too does the number of products and services being consumed. For policy makers in waste management facing a growing challenge, it is vital to understand the complex relationship between waste prevention policies and individual behaviour regarding waste generation. This book examines that interplay, taking a close look at the role of motivation, difficulties, values and constraints. The first part of the book explores the theoretical framework, policy, barriers and facilitators for waste prevention behaviour. The second part presents in-depth case studies from three cities (Sao Paulo, Sheffield and Tokyo) examining the contextual factors, behavioural variations among them and the role of motivation and constraints in their populations. The book provides a detailed picture of how waste prevention policies enter the private, domestic sphere, offering insights for generating behavioural change at the household level and thus moving larger communities towards sustainable waste management. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in the areas of environmental policy, management, sociology, psychology, geography, technology and waste studies.
