September 20, 2009 | New book: Design Integrations by Sato and Poggenpohl
Design Integrations, edited by ID professor Keiichi Sato and former faculty member Sharon Poggenpohl, was published by Intellect, UK in September. The book's six chapters are authored by many ID community members, including three current faculty members (Tom MacTavish, Judith Gregory, and Sato), Poggenpohl, alumnus Toby Bottorf (MDes '94), and adjunct faculty member Aaron Marcus.
The book has two sections, "Design Research" and "Design Collaboration," with a total of 13 chapters contributed by authors with diverse backgrounds. It addresses an innovative rethinking on design research, education, and practice. The international contributors urge new methods that focus on interdisciplinary collaboration between the academic and business worlds and an understanding of new dimensions of design and research opportunities. Design Integrations will be of interest to advanced students, practitioners, researchers, and educators.
