Présentation de l'éditeur
DESIGN - A CRASH COURSE addresses a somewhat slippery subject. Ever since people started making things to help them live their lives there have been bright sparks who have said 'I'm sure there's a better way of doing that.' These people are variously called inventors, designers or know-alls. The word 'design' is from the French, meaning 'to draw' - so design is an activity that starts off with a drawing and leads to a thing. But that covers just about everything from the lightbulb to the space shuttle, so what is it that sets apart the people we call designers, and makes them different from artists and inventors? This little book is designed to reveal all, so read it and get an appreciation of the design revolution. DESIGN - A CRASH COURSE gives you the lowdown on the people who have made our world look the way it does and helps you untangle the difference between need, necessity and indulgence.
