Discover information, advice, and prices for Learning from Milan Design and sold for 75.68 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
Andrea Branzi is one of Italys leading design critics and practitioners Learning from Milan begins where his previous discourses on the sources and traditions of Italian design leave off and draws on the Italian experience to address issues of international significance Moving from a pointed summary and interpretation of design over the past two decades to a highly charged manifesto and blueprint for designers of the next century this is Branzis most provocative and original work to date Foremost among the challenges now facing designers is the development of expressive talents appropriate to what Branzi calls the second modernity a stable diversity that has emerged during the difficult transition front industrialism to post industrialism Branzi covers the design debates that have taken place outside of Italy in the United States Japan and Germany He takes up the widely observed but little discussed questions of why Argentina has produced such extraordinary design talent in recent decades why Canada has the potential for becoming a major geographical design center in the next generation and why the famous design school at Ulm West Germany has had such a powerful and in Branzis view negative influence on international design Branzi examines the key laboratories of Italian design Global Tools Alchymia Winphis Domus Academy and Zabro identifying the qualities that set Italian design thinking apart from the approach of the rest of Europe And he looks at the production mechanisms and entrepreneurial cycles that made the rise of manufacturers like Canina Zanotta and Bartell possible

Explore tips, opinions, and features on Modernity and Durability Perspectives for sold at 31.19 $ ; this product is listed in the Books & Magazines category, produced by , and sold by Abebooks.com.
The orthodox concept of modernism as it was passed on with little alteration from the 1920s to the postwar era has been in a state of crisis for some time This is especially clear to see in the fields of architecture and urban design Meanwhile neither postmodernism nor deconstructivism has proven to be a convincing alternative In this book architectural theorist practitioner and historian Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani sets out to define a new form of modernism a modernism that continues to uphold its social and humane objectives while reassessing from the ground up its social technical functional and aesthetic parameters Our economic and ecological conditions have undergone radical changes As such we must also adapt our needs and desires We must consume as little as possible and produce only what is truly necessary At the same time we need to preserve our autonomy and values even as we live through the major upheavals brought on by these new requirements Starting from these premises the author puts forward a new design approach that pursues and is defined by durability It is an approach that rejects the frivolous waste of resources and superficial proliferation of images that have become commonplace today He thus offers an alternative to the contemporary fixation on spectacles both hollow and dangerous and instead calls for measured restraint and substantial simplicity
