Book Reviews of The Industrial Design Reader
Book Review: Ye Olde English for today's American reader
Summary: 3 Stars
Even though the information in this book is valuable, you will first need to take a crash course on 19th century British English the way it was used back then. The book is hard to read for someone who speaks American English. I had to re-read articles, especially the oldest ones. Trying to figure out what the point was.
I would recommend someone to completely rewrite the articles, preserving the message and translating it for the modern man.
Summary of The Industrial Design Reader
With input from a diverse range of industry experts/designers, theorists, critics, historians, and curators, this anthology is the first to focus exclusively on the history of industrial design.This pioneering guide traces the entire history of industrial design, industrialization, and mass production from 1850 until today. Sixty comprehensive essays written by designers, theorists, advertisers, historians, and curators detail the most crucial movements, issues, and accomplishments of industrial design. They combine news reports on the very first design workshops, aesthetic manifestos, lectures, and more from the biggest names in the field: William Morris, Henry Dreyfuss, and Victor Papanek, to name only a few. The Industrial Design Reader is an excellent resource for educators, students, and practicing designers.
? Features design from not only theoretical and aesthetic perspectives, but also from a socio-political point of view, with texts from Karl Marx, Ralph Nader, and others
? Copublished with the Design Management Institute, which will actively promote the book to its membership
