Iaspis Forum on Design and Critical Practice: The Reader

by Martin Frostner (Editor), Magnus Ericson (Editor), Zak Kyes (Editor)

What happens when you look at design as something more than a service-based
relationship between client and designer? What new strategies and models help to question and challenge the limits of design? The second publication from the Swedish design think-tank IASPIS, this idea-packed reader focuses on
on investigative, speculative, and critically oriented design, especially how design relates to architecture. Inspired by an exhibition produced by the Architectural Association in London, the reader is based on four conversations between graphic designers about various aspects of design relating to their practices. It also contains a number of interviews and other texts linked to these conversations, and a broader discussion about design and trans-boundary practice.
