Design Struggles critically assesses the ways in which the design field is involved in creating, perpetuating, promoting and reinforcing injustice and inequality in social, political, economic, cultural and ecological systems. This book shows how this entanglement arose from Eurocentric and neoliberal thinking. The voices and practices represented here propose to question and disrupt the discipline of design from within, by problematizing the very notions of design. They aim to do so by generating new, anti-racist, post-capitalist, queer-feminist, environmentally conscious and community-based ideas on how to transform design. In this way, Design Strugglesstrives to forge sustainable, new practices within the design field that challenge the status quo and amplify underrepresented voices, both in the world of design, as well as beyond.
Die Publikation bietet eine kritische Bewertung der Komplizenschaft des Designs bei der Schaffung, Aufrechterhaltung und Verstärkung sozialer, politischer und ökologischer Probleme, sowohl heute als auch in der Vergangenheit. Um diese disziplinarische Selbstkritik zu befördern, wird Design durch die Schnittstellen von Geschlecht, Kultur, Ethnizität und Klasse beleuchtet. In mehr als 20 Beiträgen entsteht eine dringende und weitreichende Reihe von Stimmen und Ansichten, derjenigen, die nach neuen Ansätzen für die Designgeschichte und Designausbildung suchen.
Aus dem Departement Design sind Paola de Martin, Dozentin BA Design und Tania Messell wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin der Fachrichtung Visual Communication, mit je einem Beitrag vertreten. Der Tagungsband entstand anlässlich der Konferenz «Beyond Change» (2018) des Swiss Design Networks. Die F&E Beauftragte Prof. Dr. Sarah Owens, war als Conference Co-Chair und Teil der Scientific Committee an der Konferenz und Publikation beteiligt.

Ernst Keller (1891-1968). Teacher and pioneer of the Swiss Style
In various different places, particularly in the USA, when writing the history of graphic design, Ernst Keller is referred to as the father of Swiss Style, later International Typographic Style. This is down to the large number of Keller students, who later shaped this Swiss Style and made it famous. Keller’s achievement is shown purely using his oeuvre, primarily his poster designs and his work on lettering and graphic design in architecture.
Ernst Keller’s contribution to the development of innovative, non-academic didactic principles in design training plays a fundamental role. His teaching activity starting in 1918 can be defined as one of the first systematic training programmes for graphic design in the world.

Architectonics of Game Spaces | Andri Gerber, Ulrich Götz (eds.) [E-Book PDF]
What consequences does the design of the virtual yield for architecture and to what extent can the nature of architecture be used productively to turn game-worlds into sustainable places – over here, in «reality»?
This pioneering collection gives an overview of contemporary developments in designing video games and of the relationships such practices have established with the design of architecture. Due to their often simulatory nature, games reveal constructions of reality while positively impacting spatial ability and allowing for alternative avenues to complex topics and processes of negotiation. Granting insight into the merging of the design of real and virtual environments, this volume offers an invaluable platform for further debate.

Ein Zeitgeist-Glossar von Achtsamkeit bis Zigarette
Moral Phobia ist unnatürlich, unbekümmert und undiszipliniert. Es raucht und trinkt, isst Fleisch, treibt kaum Sport und war gestern Nacht wieder der letzte Gast. Moral Phobia vernachlässigt soziale Netzwerke und Selbstoptimierungsangebote und plädiert für das Alberne und Abseitige, Faule und Fremde, Undurchsichtige, Unbequeme, Überflüssige und Verstörende – in der Hoffnung auf weniger aufgeräumte, vielfältigere Zeiten.
