Reframing design for a changing world: A comprehensive introduction – clear, reflective, and contemporary.
How we understand the world is largely shaped by the objects that surround us and by the way they are designed. This book explores the elements, concepts and phenomena that influence our perception of three-dimensional design through form, space, materials, and colours. Especially in an increasingly complex and media-driven world, it reveals the fundamental design principles that provide orientation and enable lasting understanding.At its core, three-dimensional design is presented as an open process of discovery, experimentation, and reflection. Numerous practical examples, precise texts, and extensive visual material make connections clear and easy to follow. In this way, the publication encourages readers to approach design with a critical eye, think beyond established ideas, and develop their own approaches.
After studying liberal arts and graphic design at the University of Connecticut and industrial design at the Berlin University of the Arts, Marion Digel worked as a lead designer, ran her own design studio, and has been self-employed in furniture, product, and corporate design since 2006. In 2006, she was appointed professor at the Folkwang University of the Arts, where she held various management positions until 2019, culminating in her appointment as dean of the design department. t.
