From Making to Lighting a Candle: On Functions, Meanings, and Bodies in Ritual Design / Madalina Diaconu -- Bodies Under the Weather: Selective Permeability, Political Affordances, and Architectural Hostility / Matthew Crippen with Illustrations by Mareike Joleen Timm -- Bespoke Healthcare Design / Dina Shahar and Jonathan Ventura.
Summary:
"Design permeates every dimension of our lifeworld, from the products we consume and the built environments in which we live to the adorned and stylized beings that we are and the natural preserves where we seek relief from the stressful bustle of urban life. Design is where contrasting values of functionality and aesthetic pleasure converge. At the core of design is the human soma, an active, perceptive subjectivity that creates and evaluates design but is also its cultivated product. This collection of thirteen essays explores the somaesthetics of design in multiple fields: from ritual, craft, and healthcare to architecture, urbanism, and the new media of extended realities"-- Provided by publisher.
