With years of experience in teaching and administration in Turkey and the UK, Tevfik Balcioglu provides an insightful approach to the theory, history, education and practice of design. His approach integrates a variety of design fields, which is refreshing in an age when design fields are becoming more and more nuanced and specific. The book includes theoretical discussions as well as practical examples in the design field, and appears to spark curiosity in the reader interested theory to pursue knowledge in practice and vice versa. The integration of a variety of issues related to design is quite seamless and provides a wise approach to not just what design is, but what it needs to be. This book will be cherished by educators and practitioners in the design field who are curious about major topics as well as unique examples from Turkey that are refreshing to the global reader. * Deniz Hasirci, Head of Design Studies, Izmir University of Economics, Turkey * Design practitioner, educator, organizer, archivist, On Design is a record of critical thinking over five decades of designing, teaching and educating. Drawing on perspectives gained simultaneously through his Turkish background, his long residency in the UK and his involvement in wider European design history, the book charts some of the key issues in trying to think deeply and reflectively about designing today. * Clive Dilnot, Professor of Design Studies, School of Art and Design History, Parsons The New School for Design, USA *
