About this title

Synopsis:

This dictionary provides a stimulating and categorical foundation for a serious international discourse on design. It is a handbook for everyone concerned with design in career or education, who is interested in it, enjoys it, and wishes to understand it.
110 authors from Japan, Austria, England, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United States, and elsewhere have written original articles for this design dictionary. Their cultural differences provide perspectives for a shared understanding of central design categories and communicating about design. The volume includes both the terms in use in current discussions, some of which are still relatively new, as well as classics of design discourse. A practical book, both scholarly and ideal for browsing and reading at leisure.

Dieses W�rterbuch bietet die interessante und kategoriale Grundlage f�r einen ernsthaften internationalen Diskurs �ber Design. Es ist das Handbuch f�r alle, die mit Design beruflich und in der Ausbildung zu tun haben, sich daf�r interessieren, sich daran vergn�gen und Design begreifen wollen.
�ber 100 Autorinnen und Autoren u.a. aus Japan, �sterreich, England, Deutschland, Australien, aus der Schweiz, den Niederlanden und aus den USA haben f�r dieses Design-W�rterbuch Originalbeitr�ge geschrieben und bieten so bei aller kulturellen Differenz m�gliche Er�rterungen an, sich �ber wesentliche Kategorien des Design und somit �ber Design grundlegend zu verst�ndigen. Es umfasst sowohl die teilweise noch jungen Begriffe aktueller Diskussionen als auch Klassiker der Design-Diskurse. – Ein praktisches Buch, das sowohl Wissenschaftscharakter hat als auch ein Buch zum Bl�ttern und Lesen ist.
