While the ubiquity of design seems to render it imperceptible, when we truly reflect on design, we see that it is inextricably entwined with our experience of the world. In \u003ci\u003eDesign Aesthetics\u003c\/i\u003e, Mads Nygaard Folkmann provides an engaging introduction to the field of design aesthetics and its role as a concept. Engaging with sensual, conceptual, and contextual considerations of design aesthetics, this book investigates design experience in tandem with design practice, objects, and perception.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Part one of \u003ci\u003eDesign Aesthetics\u003c\/i\u003e lays the theoretical foundation by differentiating between sensual, conceptual, and contextual dimensions of design aesthetics and clarifying what \"aesthetic experience\" means in relation to design. The second part of the book consists of studies in implications of design aesthetics for design practice, design objects with embedded technology, and the construction of perception of aesthetic qualities in objects. In its focus on design aesthetics, the book is intended for everyone working with design-design students, designer researchers, and designers-as well as students and researchers in aesthetics in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745974034705,"sku":"NGR9780262546317","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262546310.jpg?v=1751446695"},{"product_id":"aesthetics-of-imagination-in-design-book-mads-nygaard-folkmann-9780262019064","title":"The Aesthetics of Imagination in Design","description":"\u003cb\u003eA theoretically informed investigation that relates the philosophies of aesthetics and imagination to understanding design practice.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Aesthetics of Imagination in Design\u003c\/i\u003e, Mads Folkmann investigates design in both material and immaterial terms. Design objects, Folkmann argues, will always be dual phenomena--material and immaterial, sensual and conceptual, actual and possible. Drawing on formal theories of aesthetics and the phenomenology of imagination, he seeks to answer fundamental questions about what design is and how it works that are often ignored in academic research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolkmann considers three conditions in design: the possible, the aesthetic, and the imagination. Imagination is a central formative power behind the creation and the life of design objects; aesthetics describes the sensual, conceptual, and contextual codes through which design objects communicate; the concept of the possible--the enabling of new uses, conceptions, and perceptions--lies behind imagination and aesthetics. The possible, Folkmann argues, is contained as a structure of meaning within the objects of design, which act as part of our interface with the world. Taking a largely phenomenological perspective that reflects both continental and American pragmatist approaches, Folkmann also makes use of discourses that range from practice-focused accounts of design methodology to cultural studies. Throughout, he offers concrete examples to illustrate theoretical points. Folkmann's philosophically informed account shows design--in all its manifestations, from physical products to principles of organization--to be an essential medium for the articulation and transformation of culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50561572765969,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50561572798737,"sku":"GOR008557578","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/026201906X.jpg?v=1751290679"},{"product_id":"figurationen-des-uebergangs-book-mads-nygaard-folkmann-9783631542682","title":"Figurationen Des Uebergangs","description":"Wie kein anderer Autor der deutschen Frühromantik hat Novalis (1772-1801) eine Literatur konzipiert und ausgeführt, die die Grenze des Sagbaren produktiv erprobt. Das gilt für Dichtungen wie die \u003ci\u003eHymnen an die Nacht\u003c\/i\u003e und \u003ci\u003eHeinrich von Ofterdingen.\u003c\/i\u003e Die These, die der Arbeit zugrunde liegt, ist, dass Novalis' Texte sich stets als Zeichen einer anderen Bedeutung zu setzen versuchen und sich dabei als unendliche und selbstbewusste Figurationen eines Übergangs zum Höheren und Absoluten verstehen. In das Blickfeld gerät dann, wie Novalis nicht ausschließlich ein theoretisches Konzept zur Darstellung des Undarstellbaren hervorbringt, sondern es vor allem auch literarisch umsetzt. Die Arbeit argumentiert deshalb dafür, dass ein Verständnis der \u003ci\u003eliterarischen Ästhetik\u003c\/i\u003e von Novalis unumgänglich für ein Verständnis seines Werkes ist.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52687330050321,"sku":"NLS9783631542682","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-mads-nygaard-folkmann.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
