Reviews

In the past forty years the focus of design has broadened considerably. It is about time we addressed the bad and the ugly as well as the good designers do, and this book does just that. A valuable resource for everyone interested in the role of design in society. * Rachel Cooper OBE, Distinguished Professor of Design Management and Policy at Lancaster University, UK * In order to overcome the tragedies of the present, design must re-embrace the example of Metis, the Greek Goddess of wisdom and cunning. This challenging book indicates several paths to do so, by putting forward`tricky' research directions for design culture. * Ezio Manzini, Founder of DESIS and Chair Professor of Design at the University of the Arts, London, UK *
