Synopsis
The desk is a place of work and of action, but it also serves as a place to exhibit personal things and preferences. Thus it always characterizes in two ways a material and symbolic unity. The desk is not only very informative in itself, but also must always be studied and understood in the context of its cultural, gender-specific, and field-related surroundings. The focus of this study is a comparative analysis of the use of desks. Desks in insurance companies, banks, administrative authorities, call centers, and design studios in twelve countries on all continents were studied. This publication presents the results in the form of extensive visual material, empirical analyses, and critical essays. The study was carried out by the Köln International School of Design (KISD) in collaboration with universities in Hong Kong; New York; Seoul; Taipei; Curitiba, Brazil; Pune, India; Auckland; Milan; and Fukuoka, Japan.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The desk is a place of work and of action, but it also serves as a place to exhibit personal things and preferences.

The study was carried out by the Köln International School of Design (KISD) in collaboration with universities in Hong Kong; New York; Seoul; Taipei; Curitiba, Brazil; Pune, India; Auckland; Milan; and Fukuoka, Japan.; Der Schreibtisch ist ein Ort der Arbeit und Aktion, aber er dient auch als Ausstellungsfläche für persönliche Dinge und Vorlieben. Daher charakterisiert er immer in doppelter Weise eine materielle und symbolische Einheit. Der Schreibtisch ist nicht nur für sich gesehen sehr aufschlussreich, er muss auch immer im Kontext seines kulturellen, geschlechtsspezifischen und branchenbezogenen Umfelds untersucht und verstanden werden. Im Zentrum dieser Studie steht die vergleichende Analyse der Nutzung von Schreibtischen. Hierfür wurden Schreibtische in Versicherungen, Banken, Verwaltungen, Call Centern und Designstudios in zwölf Ländern aus allen Kontinenten untersucht. Die Publikation stellt die Ergebnisse in umfangreichem Bildmaterial, empirischen Analysen und kritischen Essays vor. Durchgeführt wurde die Studie von der Köln International School of Design (KISD) in Zusammenarbeit mit Universitäten in Hongkong, New York, Seoul, Taipei, Curitiba (Brasilien), Puna (Indien), Auckland, Mailand, Fukuoka (Japan).
