Specifikacia Victor Papanek: The Politics of Design
The designer, author, and design activist Victor J. Papanek (1923 1998) anticipated an understanding of design as a tool for political change and social good that is more relevant today than ever. "Victor Papanek: The Politics of Design" gives an encompassing overview of Papaneks oeuvre, at the heart of which stood his preoccupation with the socially marginalized, his commitment to the interests of areas then called the "Third World", as well as his involvement in the fields of ecology, bionics, sustainability, and anti-consumerism. Alongside essays and interviews discussing Papaneks relevance in his own era, the book also presents current perspectives on his enduring legacy and its influence on contemporary design theory. Original Papanek family photographs, art and design work, drawings, correspondence and countless materials from the Victor J. Papanek Foundation archive, University of Applied Arts Vienna are reproduced here for the first time, alongside work by both Papaneks contemporaries and designers working today.
