Adjectives like \"sustainable,\" \"green\" and \"eco\" describe this new wave of socially committed design. But though today's conditions are urgent and particular, the ideologies behind these new products are often not totally new, but rather a part of design history. Contemporary sustainable design is just the newest chapter of a story that stretches back throughout the previous centuries. \u003ci\u003eThe Responsible Object\u003c\/i\u003e presents a selected history of socially committed design strategies within the Western design tradition of roughly the last 150 years, from William Morris to Victor Papanek, and from VKhUTEMAS to FabLab. It includes about 20 interstitial mini-posters with slogans from the text, printed on different colored papers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marjanne Van Helvert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 949209519X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789492095190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Valiz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Marjanne Van Helvert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048128606463,"sku":"9789492095190","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f9fa7a5-7a51-47bc-ae7e-44f3cfc8ca8d.jpg?v=1684994053","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-responsible-object-marjanne-van-helvert-9789492095190","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
