Description for The Form of Design: Deciphering the Visual Language of Mass Produced Objects
Paperback. Why, in spite of countless car makes and models, the underlying car meta-form, is basically the same? This book answers some of these questions. It explains how mass produced objects evolve over time and what made them change. Num Pages: 224 pages. BIC Classification: AKP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 253 x 204 x 21. Weight in Grams: 740.
This is the first all-encompassing book about the visual language of man-made products, explaining how mass-produced objects evolve over time and what made them change. Form evolution behaves in a similar way to language evolution and, to some extent, even to natural evolution. In the book the author materializes the governing rules of form evolution by means of fourteen case studies.
