Stressed Out (Strategic Creativity Series)

Stress at work may be unhealthy but is also necessary, at some level, in order to be alert when
required how to find the right balance can differ according to the context and situation. This
makes stress a typical topic for Product Service System design where designers look for a
balance between control over the outcome of their work, and flexibility in accommodating a
multitude of changing circumstances and contexts. Such designs follow certain principles and are
based on models, but have many different (and sometimes unforeseen) outcomes and results.
The service model presented in this book is a prime example.

Empathy is a key constituent in the way designers approach innovation. As is shown in this book,
empathy enables designers to explore and question older people's mobility issues rather than just
sympathise with their situation. Such in depth understanding is needed as a stepping stone
toward good ideas for developing mobility services for older people for instance. How can
designers deploy their empathic skills to support innovators at care organisations towards
developing new services?

Value Pursuit (Strategic Creativity Series)

Designers are usually trained to follow briefs and solve problems, but what happens when the
contexts they work in become so complex that there is no clear problem to be solved yet it's
obvious that some kind of change is needed? These so-called "wicked" problems need to be
tackled at both an organisational and a network level in order for designers to become the
instigators of the change that is required. This publication aims to shed some light on what kind of
support, approaches and mindset designers require in order to do so.

Kneeling - Five Years Of Carpet Making

MU 2015 ISBN 9789079423071 Acqn 24902
Pb 19x26cm 184pp col ills 31.50
The first retrospective of work by We Make Carpets (Marcia Nolte, Bob Waardenburg, Stijn van
der Vleuten) covers five years of expression through repetitive processes of precision, working by
hand, and hours upon hours of arranging the most banal categories of objects into richly woven
yet temporary tapestries. To produce their pieces, which comprise large quantities of the same
things painstakingly laid out in a systematic method, the three must literally be on their knees
much of the time. These mandalas of toothpicks, chocolate bars, plastic bottles, sponges, toy
soldiers, deflated balloons, and more are testaments to patience: a process both mechanical and
meditative.

The Curly Letter Of Amsterdam

Lecturis 2015 ISBN 9789462261174 Acqn 25060
Hb 17x24cm 212pp 91ills 12col 27
What are the origins of the exuberant swash letters that can be found on the windows of many of
Amsterdam's most traditional bars? Who painted them? Was it a collective creation, or the work
of a lone gifted letter painter? How old is the style? For almost a decade the authors of 'The Curly
Letter of Amsterdam' thoroughly researched this lettering style and documented every surviving
example in Amsterdam, Maastricht, and Ghent in an effort to answer these questions and raise
awareness of the importance of this little known chapter of the Dutch graphical tradition.
