tailieunhanh - Design: A Very Short Introduction

One of the most curious features of the modern world is the manner is which design has been widely transformed into something banal and inconsequential. In contrast, I want to argue that, if considered seriously and used responsibly, design should be the crucial anvil on which the human environment, in all its detail, is shaped and constructed for the betterment and delight of all. | John Heskett DESIGN A Very Short Introduction OXFORD Design A Very Short Introduction Very SHORT INTRODUCTIONS are for anyone wanting a stimulating and accessible way in to a new subject.
