Abstract

Over the past 100 years, the office has been integral to the development of modern society. It has shaped the architecture of our cities, the behaviour of our organizations, and the everyday movements of millions of people. In 2020, however, the global pandemic brought our attendance in the office to an abrupt halt and triggered a complete reevaluation of the purpose of the workplace. This book offers a panoramic view of the office and explores what happens next. The authors advance a manifesto for unworking - unlearning old habits and rituals established for an outdated office and crafting and creating new ones fit for an age of digital technology, design innovation, and diverse workforces.

Abstract

"This new book, Conservation, Tourism, and Identity of Contemporary Community Art: A Case Study of Felipe Seade’s Mural "Allegory to Work", aims to promote new models of sustainable management in the field of contemporary mural art. Nowadays, cultural heritage has become an essential tool for society, stressing the necessity to properly conserve cultural resources in order to maintain a social, economic, and environmental sustainable development.In this book, the mural "Allegory to Work", by the artist Felipe Seade located in Uruguay, is used as a case study. The work of Felipe Seade, a prominent political mural artist of the twentieth century, reflects the influence of Mexican heritage and the socio-political themes of that time, which were commonly used by the Social Realism art movement. The authors look at the mural—and its restoration—through the lens of tourism, globalization, and new interest in cultural heritage. The book demonstrates that the restoration should be aware that the perspective of the protagonists must be incorporated in the intervention process. This first-of-its-kind volume brings together historical, ethnographic, tourism, and scientific research that lead to a sustainable project, from the point of view of identity, economy, politics, and society. This volume, with over 50 color illustrations, will be valuable for college and research libraries, undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and professors in the field of cultural heritage and art as well as those involved in community-based research."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

The commodification of Islamic antiques intensified in the late Ottoman Empire, an age of domestic reform and increased European interference following the Tanzimat (reorganisation) of 1839. Mercedes Volait examines the social life of typical objects moving from Cairo and Damascus to Paris, London, and beyond, uncovers the range of agencies and subjectivities involved in the trade of architectural salvage and historic handicraft, and traces impacts on private interiors, through creative reuse and Revival design, in Egypt, Europe and America. By devoting attention to both local and global engagements with Middle Eastern tangible heritage, the present volume invites to look anew at Orientalism in art and interior design, the canon of Islamic architecture and the translocation of historic works of art. Readership: All interested in tangible heritage in Cairo and Damascus, visual Orientalism (including photography), Islamic art collecting, and anyone concerned with commodification and intercultural contact zones.

Abstract

This book describes how an optimal store design can contribute to the well-being of the customer and to differentiation from online retail. From an academic and practical perspective, with contributions from renowned academics and companies, it shows how a coherent store design can be created in harmony with the retail brand. The central challenge here is the conscious orchestration of the diverse sensory stimuli. How can the many sources of stimuli be controlled? Which shelf shape goes with which light, colour and sound? Dealing with the variety of stimuli in a store environment can quickly become complex and incongruence can have a decisive negative impact on the well-being of customers. A customer-centric store environment therefore focuses on people's well-being. Renowned scientists and traders show the state of the science on these issues and give valuable suggestions for the trade. With best practice examples and valuable suggestions for practical implementation. Content Multisensory: Perception with all senses Phygital: The dawn of a new age of the senses Total Store: Think and act holistically Mindset: Anchoring customer centricity in the company The editors Prof. Dr. Gunnar Mau is Professor of Applied Psychology and Vice President Research & Teaching at the DHGS German School of Health and Sport. His research focuses on the buying motives and buying behaviour of people on the sales floor. Dr. Markus Schweizer is managing director of the boutique consultancy Holistic Consulting and accompanies retail companies in German-speaking countries in the customer-centric development and implementation of their strategy and total store design. Christoph Oriet has more than 30 years of experience in Swiss food retailing (Coop and Migros) - including as Head of Total Store at Migros Genossenschaftsbund in Zurich. He is Chairman of the Board of Directors at SCS Storeconcept in Switzerland, a full-service store builder This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

Abstract

"Design Roots provides a comprehensive review of culturally significant designs, products and practices which are rooted to particular communities through making tradition and a sense of place. This book considers the creative roots, the place-based ecologies, and deep understandings of cultural significance, not only in terms of history and tradition but also in terms of locale, social interactions, innovation, and change for the sustainment of culturally significant material productions. Contributing authors explore the historical roots of culturally significant designs, products and practices, emerging directions, amateur endeavours, enterprise models, business opportunities and the changing role and contribution of design in the creation of material cultures of significance, meaning and value. An international perspective is provided through case studies and research from North and South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australasia, with examples including Aran jumper production in Northern Ireland, weaving in Thailand, Iranian housing design, Brazilian street design and digital crafting in the United Kingdom."--

Abstract

Craft Economies provides a wide-ranging exploration of contemporary craft production, situating practices of amateur and professional making within a wider creative economy. Contributors address a diverse range of practices, sites and forms of making in a wide range of regional and national contexts, from floristry to ceramics and from crochet to coding. The volume considers the role of digital practices of making and the impact of the maker's movement as part of larger trends around customisation, on-demand production, and the possibilities of 3D printing and digital manufacturing.
