Description

Humans did not discover fire--they designed it. Design is not defined by software programs; blueprints; or font choice. When we create new things--technologies; organizations; processes; systems; environments; ways of thinking--we engage in design. With this expansive view of design as their premise; in The Design Way Harold Nelson and Erik Stolterman make the case for design as its own culture of inquiry and action. They offer not a recipe for design practice or theorizing but a formulation of design cultures fundamental core of ideas. These ideas--which form "the design way"--are applicable to an infinite variety of design domains; from such traditional fields as architecture and graphic design to such nontraditional design areas as organizational; educational; interaction; and healthcare design.The text of this second edition is accompanied by new detailed images; "schemas" that visualize; conceptualize; and structure the authors understanding of design inquiry. The text itself has been revised and expanded throughout; in part in response to reader feedback.
