Abstract

Featuring a great range of international case studies, looking at everything from the function of a Danish clothing company, to the evolution of New Zealand's resource-based economy, Design Culture interrogates what this emergent discipline is, its methodologies, its scope and its relationships with other fields of study. The book's truly interdisciplinary approach brings fresh thinking to this fast-evolving field of study.
