Reframing design for a changing world: A comprehensive introduction – clear, reflective, and contemporary.
How do the things that surround us influence our perception of the world? What impact does design have on our material world and our social relationships, and how do values change?
Marion Digel examines which design elements, concepts and phenomena define our experience of shape, space, material and color. Particularly in an increasingly complex and media-saturated world, this handbook shows which fundamental design principles provide orientation and enable lasting understanding.
Three-dimensional design as an open process of discovery, experimentation, and reflection lies at the core of this book. Numerous practical examples, precise texts, and extensive visual material make connections clear and easy to follow. This handbook is both an invitation and an inspiration to question design with a critical eye and to keep developing it further, on one‘s own term.
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.
