360 Industrial Design

The book comprises a comprehensive view of relevant matters relating to industrial design displaying complex processes in an entertaining and easily understandable way.

Our world is developing in the fast lane, becoming more complex by the second. Rapidly shrinking resources and ever-more-fierce global competition are in any case forcing us to rethink the entire design process. What significance do form, function, feel and appearance have? Is the only important factor the constant drive to make it new at all costs, or is the aim rather to marry the tried-and-tested and the innovative and establish an efficient link, a working relationship between them? Arman Emami has set out with the intention of writing short, clear and entertaining texts. The book comprises a comprehensive view of relevant matters relating to industrial design. Development steps from idea to mass production are described gradually and supported by illustrated examples of good practices. A working compendium not only for design students and young designers, but also a guide book for creative lateral thinkers, product and marketing managers and all those who are interested in intelligent design. Complex processes are displayed in an entertaining and easily understandable way

Industrial Design: Materials and Manufacturing Guide, Second Edition provides the detailed coverage of materials and manufacturing processes that industrial designers need without the in-depth and overly technical discussions commonly directed toward engineers. Author Jim Lesko gives you the practical knowledge you need to develop a real-world understanding of materials and processes and make informed choices for industrial design projects. In this book, you will find everything from basic terminology to valuable insights on why certain shapes work best for particular applications. You'll learn how to extract the best performance from all of the most commonly used methods and materials.

" In February 1956 the president of IBM, Thomas Watson Jr., hired the industrial designer and architect Eliot F. Noyes, charging him with reinventing IBM’s corporate image, from stationery and curtains to products such as typewriters and computers and to laboratory and administration buildings. What followed—a story told in full for the first time in John Harwood’s The Interface—remade IBM in a way that would also transform the relationships between design, computer science, and corporate culture. IBM’s program assembled a cast of leading figures in American design: Noyes, Charles Eames, Paul Rand, George Nelson, and Edgar Kaufmann Jr. The Interface offers a detailed account of the key role these designers played in shaping both the computer and the multinational corporation. Harwood describes a surprising inverse effect: the influence of computer and corporation on the theory and practice of design. Here we see how, in the period stretching from the “invention” of the computer during World War II to the appearance of the personal computer in the mid-1970s, disciplines once well outside the realm of architectural design—information and management theory, cybernetics, ergonomics, computer science—became integral aspects of design. As the first critical history of the industrial design of the computer, of Eliot Noyes’s career, and of some of the most important work of the Office of Charles and Ray Eames, The Interface supplies a crucial chapter in the story of architecture and design in postwar America—and an invaluable perspective on the computer and corporate cultures of today.

Industrial design is a discipline that combines aesthetics, functionality and innovation to create products that improve users' lives and shape the future of society. Throughout the book, readers will be introduced to the fundamental principles and processes of industrial design. They will explore the history and evolution of industrial design, gaining insights into the influential designers and design movements that shaped the discipline.

The copyright/design interface for a wider, non-specialist audience, taking as a starting point the notion of industrial design derived from design studies, on the border between art and science.

Unsere Welt entwickelt sich rasant. Und mit jeder Sekunde wird sie komplexer. Welche Herausforderungen ergeben sich daraus für das Design von Produkten? Unsere knapper werdenden Ressourcen und der intensive Konkurrenzkampf zwingen zu einem Umdenken im Designprozess. Welche Bedeutung haben Form, Funktion, Haptik und Optik? Geht es allein darum, stets Neues zu schaffen oder darum, Bewährtes und Innovatives effizient zu verknüpfen? Wo sollten die Schwerpunkte in Zukunft liegen? Wer das Design von Produkten nachhaltig verbessern will, muss das große Ganze betrachten – und multidisziplinär optimieren.0Arman Emami erklärt Produktdesign von der Idee über die Konzeption bis zu Herstellung und Marketing anhand konkreter Fallbeispiele. Das Buch liefert eine Gesamtübersicht der wichtigsten Bereiche, die für Produktgestaltung relevant sind. Schrittweise wird die Entwicklung von der Idee bis zur Serienproduktion analysiert und mit passenden Beispielen belegt. Ein praxisorientierter Ratgeber nicht nur für Designstudenten und junge Designer, sondern auch für kreative Querdenker, Produkt- und Marketing-Manager und alle diejenigen, die sich für intelligentes Design interessieren. Die Inhalte sind unterhaltsam und leicht verständlich geschrieben. 0.

This catalogue revises our understanding of glamour in the fields of fashion, industrial design, and architecture. Tracing glamour's trajectory from Hollywood's golden age to its present-day connotations of affluence, this illustrated volume presents an array of postwar couture, jewelry, automobile, furniture, and built and unbuilt architecture - all of which share an affinity for richly decorative patterning, complex layering, and sumptuous materials.

This text presents a set of product development techniques aimed at bringing together the marketing, design, and manufacturing functions of the enterprise. The integrative methods facilitate problem-solving and decision-making.
