Reviews

This book is a treasure trove. With a variety of examples, DJ Huppatz shows the close connection between theory and practice in design ... His recourse to historical examples lead to a very contemporary interpretation of design. * Gesellschaft fur Designgeschichte (Bloomsbury Translation) * Design: The Key Concepts is the first book to set out, with simplicity and clarity, the directions in which design has moved in the early twenty-first century. Rooted in case-studies, it unpacks the complexity of recent developments and will undoubtedly become a 'must read' for design students across the globe. * Penny Sparke, Professor of Design History at Kingston University, UK *
