THE DESIGN EXPERIENCE: THE ROLE OF DESIGN AND DESIGNERS IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Book ID/图书代码： 00870006B04809

English Summary/英文概要： This is a book about the changing nature of design - and in particular the changing roles of designers - at the start of the 21st century. The ideas that underpin this book are three-fold: first, self-definition is not a particularly strong point of the design community, indeed, what designers say often runs contrary to what they do; second, designers often contrain their ambitions and so limit their potential contribution to society; and third, the world is changing at an ever-increasing rate - understanding this and developing strategies for it is essential for all of us. This book aims to be a map - we identify various features on the landscape of contemporary design, then how we use this information - that is, the personal routes you travel - is up to you. This book identifies the designer as a maker, but also as someone who makes meaning possible, and such, a maker of culture. The designer also decides what a designer is. A combination then of craft-maker, cultural intermediary and opportunistic entrepreneur, the designer has a fluid, yet pivotal role in contemporary socirty.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本书关于设计的不断变化的特性，尤其是21世纪初设计师的角色变换。支持本书主要有三个观点：第一，自定义在设计界并不是特别强调的，事实上，设计师的言论经常和他的行动背道而驰。第二，设计师们通常会限制自己的报复，因此限制了他们对社会的贡献；第三，世界正以越来越快的速度发展，理解了这一点并采取相应的措施对于我们每个人都至关重要。这本书意在成为您的地图，您能在当代设计图上识别出不同的风格和流派，接着您可以使用这些信息。设计师是文化的创造者，他们在当代社会中起着关键的作用。

Awards/获奖情况：’Design is becoming a basic discipline with strategic consequences in business and in society. The necessity of knowing about the changing role of design and designers should be obvious. This book contributes to this knowledge. Based on extensive research and experience the authors explore the issue of what design is and can be as well as how we can deal with design processes in different contexts. It should be essential reading for all those involved in business and design.’ ---Assistant Professor Lisbeth Svengren, PhD, Stockholm University School of Business, Sweden
