large 8vo. stiff cardstock binding, dust jacket. 95 pages. First and rare edition. A near fine copy in near fine jacket. Well illustrated in black and white with selected color illustrations. A very scarce book. Karl Gerstner's work is a milestone in the history of design. "Programme entwerfen" is one of his most important works: in four essays, the author provides a basic introduction to his design methodology and suggests a model for design in the early days of the computer era. The book is especially topical and exciting in the context of current developments in computational design. With many examples from the worlds of graphic and product design, music, architecture, and art, it inspires the reader to seize on the material, develop it further, and integrate it into his or her own work. stiff cardstock binding, dust jacket.
