Synopsis
The Elements and Principles Edition covers the first 10 chapters of the Sixth Edition of Design Through Discovery. Features: * Focuses on expression of the individual - clothing and home environment, plus commercial, environmental and industrial products. * Stresses the philosophical aspects of creativity - what makes people create works of art. * Analyzes perception as a subjective experience beyond the physical function of sight, encouraging students to examine personal interpretations. * Explores the meaning of aesthetics, both in the traditional interpretation and in contemporary art, emphasizing the individual's right to judge. * Translates the creative process into the pragmatic approach of problem solving, through a step-by-step analysis of the development of the chapel of NOTRE DAME DU HAUT by Le Corbusier. New to this edition: * Condensed 17-chapter format allows instructors to cover the entire book in a one-semester course. * Compares interior design in four New York apartments, stressing the importance of adapting design to different personalities and life styles. * Presents a comparison of two architectural designs for homes in wilderness settings.
* Focuses on environmental issues and the designer's role in preserving, rather than exploiting, natural resources. * Acknoledges the recent explorations into chaology and the interpretation of design as a means of finding underlying laws governing a world based in chaos."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
