This book introduces practices that are now part
of what people see as ´21st Century Skills´. The
enjoyable essays in this book provide a panoramic
view over the subject of design. The essays
are written to encourage designers and students
of design to reflect upon their field. Fundamental
questions are raised about the nature of design,
about designers themselves, and about the role of
design within the broader contexts of business and
society.
And design, these days, is not just for designers
- many different fields are learning from design to
build creative practices, and this book seeks to
help to open up design practices for general use.
The book is for designers (to help them reflect on
their practices, and develop them further) and for
students of design across all designing disciplines.
