The richer your design vocabulary, the more distinctive the design solutions you can express. Sketching ideas with a pencil or rendering them with computer software are useful experiences, but there is no substitute for confronting physical forms and materials directly. Exploring Materials is an action-oriented, accessible guide to design thinking that addresses both the how and why of product design. It encourages designers to look beyond the abstraction of pure forms or the whimsy of virtual objects, and instead to make and test real objects in a studio environment. Inna Alesina and Ellen Lupton examine materials from several points of view, including traditional uses, experimental uses, and environmental implications. Student exercises and inspiring examples from the world of product design demonstrates how to use materials as tools for thinking and making." "The book opens with two extensive studies: a place for sitting and a method for carrying. By considering what is needed rather than what specific product can be made, designers examine the methodology of designing. The core of the book is a visual glossary of thirty-two materials - from corrugated cardboard to molded felt to plastic film. It highlights each material's behaviors and properties, showing how they suggest different types of structure, surface, and connections, and presents experimental uses of these materials, demonstrating how designers from around the world have exploited their characteristics in inventive ways. The book concludes with a section on making it real, moving beyond the prototype to create a product that can be manufactured and marketed. Exploring Materials contains everything designers need to not only jump-start their design process, but also follow a project through from idea to prototype to finished object."--Jacket Design (DE-588)4011510-0 gnd Industriedesign (DE-588)4072788-9 gnd Material (DE-588)4169078-3 gnd Materialmodellierung (DE-588)1112294007 gnd Design Materiali sbt u Industriedesign idsbb G7 u 067 -- Diverse Materialien idslu LE u 745 Ales sbt TM Lupton Ellen 1963- (DE-588)113716184 Verfasser aut BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 NLLUHGK202008 idslu L3 0 IDS LU at SzBzSBTc NEBIS N05 N05 N05MF 740,31 ALES IDSLU LUHGK LUHGK HGFRE 67/48 SBT MEAA MEAA 807 AAM 745 Ales IDSLU 100 1- Alesina Inna (DE-588)141667664 Verfasser aut IDSLU 700 1- Lupton Ellen 1963- (DE-588)113716184 Verfasser aut NEBIS 100 1- Alesina Inna (DE-588)141667664 NEBIS 700 1- Lupton Ellen 1963- (DE-588)113716184 SBT 100 1- Alesina Inna SBT 700 1- Lupton Ellen SWISSBIB 282795545
