Book excerpt: Design is a necessity, not something merely desirable if it can be afforded after material costs are covered. Design is a process that permeates every aspect and phase of man's works, not a last-step polishing of the surface. This has at last been recognized at nearly every level of modern society, including now the federal level: "Design Necessity" was prepared for presentation to the First Federal Design Assembly, sponsored by the National Endowment on the Arts and the Federal Council on the Arts & Humanities, and scheduled to convene in Washington in April 1973 under the aegis of the Presidential presence.The coauthors of this book are two of America's best-known writers on the design process, and they are themselves active designers. In their role as program cochairmen of the Assembly, they focus its scope and goals as follows: "The Assembly will examine the necessity of design in visual communications, in architecture, in interiors, and in environmental planning. It will consider design as an instrument of organization, a medium for persuasion, a means of relating objects to people, a method for improving safety and efficiency, and a way of coping with the complexity of contemporary Federal agency assignments."The Assembly's emphasis, in other words, is on design "performance" in response to human needs."Moreover, the emphasis is on "demonstrable" design performance...."The aim of the First Federal Design Assembly is to present a clear and compelling view of design as a process. For in Government today that process is crucial."The book documents these assertions: there are sound, proven criteria for judging design effectiveness; design is an urgent requirement, not a cosmetic addition; design can save money; it can save time; it enhances communication; it simplifies use, simplifies manufacture, simplifies maintenance; the design necessity is recognizably present in projects ranging in scale and complexity from a postage stamp to a highway system; the absence of design is a hazardous kind of design "(not" to design is to suffer the costly consequences of design by default); on any given project, designers and government officials have the same basic goal--performance; and effective design of public services is itself an essential public service.Criteria for the design necessity are illustrated in the book by case studies of federal projects that work because they were designed to work. These case studies deal with significant aspects of design not visible on the surface and explain how problems were solved.

Book excerpt: Brooklyn-based design studio Workstead masterfully combines traditional inspiration with contemporary elegance. Workstead designs one-of-a-kind interiors and pieces that balance beauty with necessity, and this book presents a special blend of their tour-de-force historic renovations and innovative yet elegant new constructions. Over the past decade, the multidisciplinary design firm has earned rapid and wide acclaim for both their residential interiors as well as for larger-scale projects, such as the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn and the Rivertown Lodge in Hudson, New York. In all their projects, Workstead considers both clients and community, working with local artisans to create meticulously crafted modern interiors, architecture, and furniture designs inflected by history. As T: The New York Times Style Magazine put it, Workstead “are known as sophisticated pack rats who surround themselves with objects that have a story to tell,” and described their collective design philosophy as “a cozy, updated version of early Americana, with wood plank floors and a mix of vintage and refined custom-built furniture pieces that are almost Scandinavian in their restraint.”

Book excerpt: An exploration of how design might be led by marginalized communities, dismantle structural inequality, and advance collective liberation and ecological survival. What is the relationship between design, power, and social justice? “Design justice” is an approach to design that is led by marginalized communities and that aims expilcitly to challenge, rather than reproduce, structural inequalities. It has emerged from a growing community of designers in various fields who work closely with social movements and community-based organizations around the world. This book explores the theory and practice of design justice, demonstrates how universalist design principles and practices erase certain groups of people—specifically, those who are intersectionally disadvantaged or multiply burdened under the matrix of domination (white supremacist heteropatriarchy, ableism, capitalism, and settler colonialism)—and invites readers to “build a better world, a world where many worlds fit; linked worlds of collective liberation and ecological sustainability.” Along the way, the book documents a multitude of real-world community-led design practices, each grounded in a particular social movement. Design Justice goes beyond recent calls for design for good, user-centered design, and employment diversity in the technology and design professions; it connects design to larger struggles for collective liberation and ecological survival.

Book excerpt: This book showcases how EcoMechatronics can increase sustainability within engineering and manufacturing. It brings together material from experts in core mechatronics technologies, discussing the challenges related to moving towards more environmentally friendly methods, and presenting numerous case studies and examples of EcoMechatronics oriented applications. The book begins with an introduction to EcoMechatronics in the context of sustainability, before covering core conceptual, technical and design issues associated with EcoMechatronics. It then offers a series of case studies and examples of EcoMechatronics oriented applications and finally, a consideration of the educational issues associated with moving to a new generation of environmentally oriented mechatronic engineers. EcoMechatronics will be of interest to practicing engineers, researchers, system developers. and graduate students in the field of mechatronics and environmental engineering.
